this is why this universal use of telemetry in software is a bad thing... one bug and millions can be harmed

if i were you i'd be taking that telemetry out

i recall that keybase had a crash report system where if you knew there was going to be a problem because it repeatedly happens, you could activate the logging and then run it and when it starts up and finds a crash log, you could then look at it and then send it up to them

that's how it should be done... requiring users to accept this phoning home as a condition of use should be completely out of the question and for reasons of security, should always be a process by which the user actively and knowingly provides this information to the developers... and when there is a third party involved, it gets even more sticky

and would i be right in saying that this data has found as many bugs, like as many terrorists as the DHS copping feels and irradiating people?

actually, come to think of it, though it never seems to want to let me actually send the report, intellij IDEs do this too, they prompt you about the existence of crash logs and ask you if you want to send them
