Fine article, but definitely a bit of alarmist take by OP. This isn’t a for-profit situation, and devs don’t give a shit about spying on you. It’s something opt-in. Opt-out is not even allowed. So, ya know sites like https://linux-hardware.org ? That already exists. Steam Deck, the Linux world’s darling has actual anonymized telemetry data that is forced. So, yeah, let’s calm down with this alarmist attitude. This isn’t Windows land.
