Jupiter Broadcasting called out Quidsup (Without using his name) saying he is just a fear-mongerer, capitalizing on data collection for views and dollars. This is my thought!
This is the QuidsUp video they were not referencing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMndddeJ4PU
and here is one that also heavily influenced this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1RK4dr9FQA
https://youtu.be/fX0uci4gvHI?t=47m38s
Calling into doubt what is Data Collection...this is a Hasty Generalization
https://youtu.be/fX0uci4gvHI?t=48m55s - to 49:04
No, we do not need to collect all this data for operating systems...
Ubuntu over the years, Linux mint
49:04 - 49:11
This is the slippery slop I am QuidSup are worried about...we get used to this, what is the next thing they collect?
Talk about the report:
Processor, Screen resoltion, Minimal/Max install, Autologin, timezone, installation media, updates downloaded during install...
Also, if you decline to send data...you still send a ping that you are not sending data.
Ubuntu says they do not store the IP address
50:43 - 51:12
Let the hysteria begin!!
51:48 - 52:21
Quidsup advises to remove ubuntu-report, but these guys advise against that so Ubuntu has better numbers about who uses the software.
52:26 - 52:32
You have to send data that you do not want to send data? OK!
52:34 - 52:40
"The reason it is opt-out is because people close the boxes"
53:26 - 53:54
This is our conversation and the comments are also the conversation, but these guys are discounting that.
55:33 - 56:06
The attack on the other video..descriubing it bu tnot naming it
Video is "How to disable Data Collection Services in Ubuntu 18.04" by Quidsup
Quidsup was NOT able to prevent the log file from being generated, but he DID prevent it from being sent.
No, JB, Quidsup is not stupid.
56:30 - 57:15
QuidsUp Did say it removes the standard report AND he says it will potentially break the upgrade path...Again, QuidsUp is on mark here.
1:00:46 - 1:01:05
"Playing on the fears of a technically savy audience"
"Plays against future projects that want to do something similar...." GOOD!!!
1:01:05 - 1:01:20
He completely misunderstands how data can be harvested and used.

The Mate Desktop Environment is a fork of Gnome 2, one of the most popular Linux desktops ever. The idea was to keep the traditional features and layouts in Gnome before the Gnome 3 shell arrived on scene. They have kept up with that idea but made sure the modern security and core applications are up to date. Mate is available just about everywehere.

Today we talk about why my Linux channel is different from a lot of other channels in the genera. We are interested in using Linux as tool to accomplish other things, not to focus our life on Linux.

Our lives are progressively lived out online, but when we die, decisions need made about how to access accounts and what to do with them. Are we giving that data to big tech? Are we just calling for it all to be deleted? These are thoughts and questions we should have and we need to include these in our will.
