We still do with a lot of software. It's called voluntarily submitting a bug report and/or core dump. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] amju_wolf@pawb.social 12 points 2 years ago* (1 child) If you ask a user to show you a "core dump" they're more likely to shit on their floor and send you a photo than do what you actually mean. Telemetry is absolutely crucial in determining what to focus on in development, to fix issues the users might not even realize exist. Especially for projects that aim at the general public. As long as it's communicated clearly, used truly only for development purposes and an opt-out is available there's nothing wrong about it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] root@precious.net 2 points 2 years ago You don't use the technical term, but you do ask. I'm not against telemetry, I'm against making it hundreds of different hidden options. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago Especially software with hundreds of millions of users, that constantly has to deal with bleeding edge attack vectors and compatibility. permalink fedilink source parent
