Gnome Accounts works like a glue-stick - it connects your machine to the NSA botnet run by Google, Facebook, Microsoft etc. As simple as that. > On Wed, 2016-11-30 at 14:36 +0100, Milan Crha wrote: > I think the original poster is just trolling > we're not building a mix-and-match, you might be more > interested in another distro (...) Excuse me Sir, Fedora's tying of hard coded NSA providers to the Gnome Desktop Environment harms competition between alternative provides, undermines product innovation and ultimately reduces consumer choice. The default providers are * Google * Facebook * Flickr * Microsoft Account * Pocket * Foursquare Just to give you an example: In the Microsoft VS the European Union case from 2009, the European Union fined Microsoft €561 million for tying Windows with Internet Explorer by default. I see a strange coincidence here. > On Wed, 2016-11-30 at 14:36 +0100, Milan Crha wrote: > I use it to connect to my company's IMAP/SMTP and ownCloud services. That's good for you. But again 1.) It is not possible for the end-user (or system administrators) to add custom, free providers without rebuilding from source. 2. ) System administrators can not disable certain NSA providers globally. 3.) No overview, no rights management. It remains unapparent for the end-user (or system administrator), what gnome accounts actually does with certain providers, and what applications it may affect, or if these applications should be allowed to use the given providers for their own services. 4.) Fedora harms the market competition, by prompting the end-user after the installation /or the first login to connect the machine with the NSA botnet, where it lists providers in an hard-coded order. GOOGLE IS ALWAYS FIRST. This gnome-accounts "feature" is fishy as fuck, I therefore reserve the right to contact my local European Union Member of the Parliament in this suspicious case. _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
