From the package description of zeitgeist or zeitgeist-core:

"Zeitgeist is a service which logs the user's activities and events (files opened, websites visited, conversations held with other people, et.c ) and makes the relevant information available to other applications."

"It serves as a comprehensive activity log and also makes it possible to determine relationships between items based on usage patterns".

This thing sounds scary. And apparently it's installed by default as a GNOME dependency. In fact, uninstalling it will also uninstall the gnome metapackage (as well the rhythm-plugins package, so you end up with a nerfed Rhythmbox).

Is this thing safe? How does uninstalling it break functionality?

P.S. This package is also recommended by software-center.
