Why wait for Microsoft to catch up with what we've been doing for decades?
Get Plasma, a modern, fully functional, clean, privacy-respecting, non-intrusive operating system now, regardless from where you live and ditch Windows for good.

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Never heard of Plasma, nor am I in linux ecosystem yet, but from brief googling Plasma telemetry and developer attitude towards it is concerning

You mean the completely opt-in thing that is off by default and enables people to anonymously contribute user information so the developers know they're on the right track for new features, support, and updates?
There's even a slider after you opt in to determine how much information you want to share. I'm concerned about software that develops with no user input.

It's open source, too. You can delete the whole module with a single click and a sudo if it bothers you. Try that on MacOS or Windows.
