Hello,
While reading up on the recent issue of Mozilla adding "Terms of Use" to Firefox, I ran across <URL:https://community.kde.org/Policies/Telemetry_Policy> and <URL:https://community.kde.org/Telemetry_Use>.
I have a suggestion to improve the Telemetry Use page: for each program, please add information briefly explaining to users where the opt-in controls are and, where a slider is involved, sorting the the items on the page according to the slider settings and indicating them on the page as well.
Also, please either consider allowing finer granularity in telemetry choices or explaining that the relatively small selection of choices protects anonymity by preventing users' telemetry choices from becoming "fingerprints" themselves.
For example, Plasma has 10 telemetry items and a slider with four positions. If users were to be given 10 independent checkboxes, those choices would put users in 1024 bins, instead of four.
In my case, after finding that page, I actually wanted to enable some telemetry in Plasma---I want KDE to know that Plasma is still used on X11, as I generally prefer X11 over Wayland.
(I also sometimes use KDE programs over SSH X11 tunnels, so please count me as a vote for continuing that support.)
Thanks in advance, -- Jacob PS: Please CC me on further discussion, as I am not subscribed to the list.
