I allow everything from FOSS that I like, you?
Manual bug reporting by manual log selection.
And FairEmail doesn’t seem to have any bugs. Really. I had issues, but Marcel responded and cleared them within an hour.
Yea he’s an absolute treasure. I think even if he’d stop updating fairemail, it would take years for anything else to even come close to it.
The only issue I ever had was not understanding how to activate the pro features on a new device.
He responded literally within minutes with detailed and easy to understand instructions.
I generally feel fine if I can preview the payload and it doesn’t contain too identifiable stuff. Even better if you can redact fields. NewPipe has a simple implementation of this where it just opens up your email client with a pre-filled body.
I’m hostile towards telemetry by default because of how much spyware there is in today’s technology. I’ll only allow it if it’s reasonable ( e.g. a GPS getting your location, system diagnostics for software devs ) and it’s consentual.
GPS is “passive”. It’s basically (i’m oversimplifying) sitting there listening to the satellites each broadcasting info, then triangulates itself based on the passive receipt of that data.
i think they are referencing map apps vs gps as a technology
Hmm… possible… fuck those though. Just buy a Garmin.
Do those have good traffic data? Because some people still need that.
Yeah, there’s a receiver built into the charger.
Bug reports and error logs. Helps support the development of the software without it feeling like my data is sold for money unnecessarily.
On KDE Plasma I have “User Feedback” set to “Detailed system information and basic usage statistics”
Almost none. I want all telemetry off by default, and only gets turned on by me when I want it, and with all conditions and content known.
I like the optional error reports where I can choose just the error report to send.
Of course all this only for FOSS apps.
I let FOSS apps collect crash reports and the like. Proprietary stuff though, no chance.
None. I prefer reporting an issue manually.
