I found the original post in the Internet Archive (https://bit.ly/33xZguw), and
yeah, somebody found the notification timer, got a tad too suspicious, and
jumped to premature conclusions...
There's an interesting quote in there though: "[...] No one can resist once
they have their fingers in the cookie jar. [...] We'll just be the frogs being
brought up to a slow boil. We know this tune, have seen this show many times
before. There's always a plan. The time for naivety on this has passed, years
ago."
You might be tempted to dismiss this person as overly distrustful, but such
distrustfullness is actually an extremely healthy attitude to have in this day
and age. Look around! Governments and corporations plan to enslave us, exploit
us, they dream of replacing us with machines or turning us into mindless cyborg
drones! This is secular damnation. We must defend our privacy, remain ever
vigilant, and, most important of all, keep dissent and resistance possible.
Please don't alienate distrustful people, listen to them instead.
(5) "I have tried replacing kuserfeedback with a dummy package on Arch Linux.
Plasma simply freezes during startup." "[...] allow us to nuke this thing from
orbit." "[...] it's just one little "oopsie" away from behind transmitted
wholesale to KDE." - that's what the split library proposal aims to address
concerns like this - allow users to remove the code responsible for data
logging and transmission from their computers without breaking applications.
(6) "there are internal names, changing them will not change anything" - except
that these names are a grade A bad rumor material...
(7) Nice! The "View previously submitted data..." link should probably be
simply disabled rather than hidden in order to make it immediately clear that
you'll be able to do so.
(8) I meant like manual crash reports. Once a report is generated, a "User
Feedback" system tray icon should appear, and the user should be able to click
it, review the report, and then either send it or cancel it.
