shapisGive it to me straight. How worried are you for Fedora's future after Red Hats recent anti user decisions?
ZoolanderAs someone who hasn’t really been following, what anti-user decisions are those?
NaNSource code distribution change is the big one now, on top of getting rid of traditional centos: news.itsfoss.com/red-hat-restricts-source-code/
I don’t really see them as anti-user, in the sense that if you are a subscriber your position has never changed and they are happy to provide support in exchange for money.
Fedora is also looking at adding telemetry. They are calling it opt-in but also defaulting the checkbox to “on”.
southsamuraiYou know what’s funny? Most of the time, when something asks me to opt in for telemetry, I strongly consider doing so, then look into what’s collected and end up deciding I’m okay with it.
But when I have to opt out, or the default is selected to opt in, I just lose trust entirely.
And I’ll jump through hoops to block anything I can’t replace that doesn’t even ask.
Like, I totally understand why some telemetry is necessary for continued development. I’m down with that. But the shadier it is, the less willing I am to allow it.
