▲ 539 ▼ Tails no longer recommending balenaEtcher (tails.net) submitted 2 years ago by xela@lemmy.ml to c/privacy@lemmy.ml 176 comments fedilink hide all child comments I am shocked by this - the quote in below is very concerning: "However, in 2024, the situation changed: balenaEtcher started sharing the file name of the image and the model of the USB stick with the Balena company and possibly with third parties." Can't see myself using this software anymore...
