Someone trying to get me to install

2024-12-09 18:40:03.128773+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Someone trying to get me to install Telegram. I observed that I really don't need more potentially hostile apps on my devices, sending telemetry back to who knows who.

His response indicated that he thought my concern was about what information was being fed to me, rather than being concerned about the integrity of my own systems and information outflow.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
