Fedora considers "privacy-preserving" telemetry

> I think secure boot is nice in theory, but in practice mostly ends up having a vendor or corporate entity lord it over the user in physical possession of the device (a kind of "control collar" of sorts, so I hate it instinctively)

And here - although you do word it correctly - you piss off a load of people who MIGHT be on your side.

You get annoyed by people who don't let you do what you like with stuff in your possession - well if you found a £50 note in someone else's handbag and spent it the police might like a word with you - it's called theft. But it was in your possession! ...

If, on the other hand, you'd said "lord it over the OWNER of the device", I'd agree with you.

My company laptop is locked up down the wazoo, and I see nothing wrong with that. It is THEIR device, after all. If I can't do my work as a result, I get paid for doing nothing ... brilliant !!!

Those people who think possession is nine tenths of law piss of the one tenth who actually own the device ...
