       @filippo I think these reactions are direct consequences of large tech companies squandering user trust. Any given proposal isn't seen on its own, but as yet another bait to be switched later, yet another data source to feed into the maw of machine learning.Quite frankly, regardless of the merits, it might be necessary to pull back on data collection of any kind for a while, until more trust can be rebuilt. I know I for one would prefer more local tools.

       @mattblaze FWIW - and I expect this to get drowned in the noise - there are plenty of us who follow you who don't have hangups about bluntness and hope you continue doing exactly what you're doing. Conflict aversion (or at least the attempt) is the original sin of this place from what I can tell; every place has at least one, and somehow people absorb it even if they came to that place long after.tl;dr: screw 'em.

       @futurebird There's also "guns akimbo", which quite definitely doesn't mean hands on hips
