True. Unfortunately I’m paranoid enough to have to create network captures until I believe it’s actually off. And even then… I’m unable to prove it doesnt send off a package of data after a certain amount of time.

I get your point and I agree to an extend. However I disagree with any kind of tracking or analysis of user data. I’d rather pay money for software - no subscription. I’m ok paying for updates or upgrades now and then.
I’m also happy to donate (and did) but I’m also mad and paranoid enough to doubt such button actually turns this feature off.
MrApples ( @MrApples@lemmy.ca ) 4•1 year agoYa it sucks but as long as you can turn it off I can live with it. I wonder how much money they get from these?
