Fedora considers "privacy-preserving" telemetry

> Agree on the use case being a perfectly legal one. However, anyone wishing to employ me who would refuse to trust me to self-manage a machine they bought for me (and therefore legally own themselves) to our mutual benefit can fuck right off

Well, you're a sys-admin. I'm a NoSQL database guy. One of the main reasons our systems are locked down is the increasing threat from crackers. I'm happy to leave all that security stuff to others.

It is frustrating, though, that I can't do what I want. But most of that is actually getting permission to run the software I want, which I'm hoping to get. And seeing as the software I want - if I succeed - is likely to replace Excel and require support from elsewhere, then the company has every right not to let me run riot introducing stuff that nobody else has a clue how to support. Bus factor and all that ...

Cheers,
Wol
