Re:An attempt at making opt-out telemetry easier to decline by mpldr on Saturday February 11, 2023 @05:40AM (#34751145)
I made this in response to the current Go telemetry issue, where the Go team wishes to add telemetry to the toolchain. After seeing this over and over and over again, I would like to propose a standard ENV that indicates that a user does not want to be tracked. Of course making this opt-in would be preferable for obvious reasons, but unfortunately that's just not the world we live in and this way at least would make opting out once and for all easier.

Better to shun languages that implement "opt out" tracking.
