Comment Comment by stephenr > So every site and every product on the internet has this dark pattern.Not every site/product on the internet uses an abusive analytics platform, hell not all of them use analytics at all.With sites visited in a browser, an extension can be used to block access to abusive services such as GA. There is no Ghostery for the terminal.I have no issue with them wanting to collect usage information. I opt-in to Debian's package usage tracking.If I still used Homebrew, I would have a huge issue with them sending information about what packages I install to Google. parent stephenr 10 years ago
