   @dalias @tomrittervg the telemetry has also been used as an excuse for removing functionality (e.g., pure ALSA audio support), ignoring that those most likely to have telemetry off are those that are smart or technical enough to remove pulseaudio

     @wyatt @tomrittervg Yes, this is a really important point that's often overlooked. Telemetry harms EVEN FOLKS WHO TURNED IT OFF by prioritizing the measured wants/needs of users who left it on over theirs.

     @dragoonaethis @wyatt @tomrittervg It's not a vote. It's putting a camera in your house so Big Brother can decide what's best for you based on observing your life.
