Hey, that's me

I've never had ads in Sync for Lemmy, never paid a dime either. Started seeing a couple of ads since the last update.

Your Mileage May Vary

There's a push towards WebAssembly. Officially it's not supported yet, but most browsers can handle it. I don't know how mature the project is though.

But yeah, essentially everything on the web is JS.

Everything you've said only stands for public university (which is better than private schools however). In the private world, you're looking at ~10000€ a year.

So why in the hell would you pay 50k. That's 33 times as much, guys just come to France

I believe it's more expensive for foreigners to study in France now. You're looking at ~3000€ per year IIRC.

Yes, and it makes sense that it would, and I'd happily give such data to developers I trust to make the programs I love better.

However, that same click data (maybe with some how-long-have-you-looked-at-this data) can definitely be used to target ads at me, which in my book is not okay. And as I said in my comment before, it's really difficult (at least for me) to trust companies.

To me, telemetry would be like a sofa company wanting to put some cameras in your home to see if you're using the sofa the way they thought you would. It just feels... off.

“90% of crashes happen right after the player uses a grenade”.

Imo, a simple opt-in crash report gets the job done. Technically it is telemetry, but a crash report is more justified than a "where have you clicked" report.

telemetry data for software from reputable companies does not get sold

There's just no trust in companies to not sell my data. I cannot trust Microsoft nor Google nor any other company to not sell my data, having seen the shenanigans every single company is willing to pull off to get a cent more a year.

"The Trump administration touted him"

Who's "him" ? I thought it was Trump

this seems like applying the same rules to everyone equally

Though it can seem fair, applying the same rules to everyone equally can be very racist.

I think it's not "freely", as in someone has to check your ID. I could be wrong tho.

Isn't laying death traps... you know, illegal?
