Re: Remove the chains of opression: Gnome Online Accounts is spyware

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



hi

I'm still trying to understand where all this NSA stuff is coming from. If you don't use it, how can it transmit anything as it hasn't been set up. If you use it, that's another thing entirely, and you're putting your trust in whichever company you go through. If this were true, which it isn't, not only fedora but every other distro that uses gnome would have spyware in it, and this is just illogical. My own distro, which I co develop with two other developers, would be spyware because we have a version which uses gnome. This would mean that since we're an accessibility focused distro we'd be encouraging disabled people to use spyware, and that's just ... oh I give up. If this is a trole, these people need to provide more evidence for their claims, this sounds like the more phanatical free software people's type of arguments, lots of claims but no hard proof. Not that I'm trying to start anything, since I know fedora is all about free software, but ... better stop there.



Thanks

Kendell Clark

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


While this is a troll, I must agree that adding generic IMAP/POP accounts is not presented in the default menu and is not obvious for non techie users to find and use.


Abis.
