Avid AmoebaPSA: Nova Launcher is owned by an analytics company
HidingCatHonestly, don't care. Until it gets shitty (which it still has a good chance of doing so), I'll continue to use it.
Me neither really. I don’t love this, but I think a lot of people misunderstand what they analytics tools are mainly used for. It’s not often that much to do with advertising, and it certainly isn’t about farming your unique information in a clandestine way. It’s about what’s happening with the app, what features are being used as an aggregate, and most importantly for tracking the crash rate of the app, and why it’s crashing.
I think this is more tied with advertising analytics, but I share the same opinion. I don't love it, but it's not a killer. The fediverse tends to attract a more idealistic and paranoid crowd, which I don't think is reflective of how most people are.
