This is AFTER debloating all the MS bs as much as I can.

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

    As a programmer: “your data is boring. I am not interested in leveraging this for anything besides getting the service you are using to work as well as possible”

    Also me as a programmer: “yo, you don’t need that data, stop asking for it. Ohh, your app is broken because it can’t access permissions? Yeet.”

      It’s not about what the programmers want, it’s about the sales and marketing departments. They are the ones who use and abuse that data

        As a UI designer, no it’s not just them. We need to know how people are using features to know if we should prioritise or deprioritise work on them and what work we might want to put in them.

          We need to know how people are using features to know if we should prioritise or deprioritise work on them and what work we might want to put in them.

          So ask them to take the survey, instead of spying on them.
