@hipsterelectron so, telemetry is disabled for the first run, but on your second run—even if you opt out—it will send something containing some undisclosed amount of data about your machine and execution environment?!

@c0dec0dec0de god i need to think this through
@hipsterelectron “an opt-out event will be sent” what kind of tracing/telemetry architecture needs you to send a message to opt-out of? What goes in this opt-out event? At a minimum that’s tracking how many installs turn off their telemetry, and maybe fingerprinting them.
@c0dec0dec0de yes!!!!! yes!!!!!!! let the hate flow through you!!!!!! let it turn you twisted!!!!!! join me!!!!!!!
@c0dec0dec0de i'm not telling you which software uses this fucking dreadful bullshit on the off chance it reduces me getting pwned but i will say it is encrypted messaging which is already enough to pwn me
@c0dec0dec0de no so you can opt out. but the final line is deeply deceptive. it implies telemetry is not enabled. but that's because it was not enabled on the first run
