Know your stuff

Basically, it's saying, use Nextcloud, don't get fooled by these privacy-oriented sites that may have some sort of open source client to access the service, but is running on pure closed-source infrastructure. I would agree that it's smarter to use Nextcloud instead, but for email? Yeah, I'm not self-hosting that.

Dear Red Hat: Are you dumb?

Reply in thread

I don't know about that. IBM is traditionally stupid, yeah, but they wanted Red Hat for a reason. The CentOS debacle altogether was Red Hat, not IBM, and I don't think they are doing too much day to day operational mandates for stuff like this. I would not be surprised if this was just a Red Hat thing. I know it's easy to blame IBM, but I don't think it's that simple.

Fedora Workstation 40 Considering To Implement Privacy-Preserving Telemetry

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.
