Mozilla’s MZLA announced Thunderbolt, a self-hostable open source AI client for running models locally and avoiding third-party data processing. ⚡
It supports multiple platforms and providers but ships with telemetry enabled by default, raising transparency and user control concerns. 🔐

GitHub CLI 預設會收集 Telemetry 資料

#cli #github #privacy #telemetry #tracking #user

GitHub #CLI now delights us by #spying on us with "pseudoanonymous" #telemetry 🎉. Because who doesn't love their every move being tracked while using a command-line interface? 🚀 Next up: a feature that auto-tweets every 'git push'! 🤖🔍

Tested BashCoreGee on a privacy box (Raspberry Pi + Pi-hole + Quad9 DNS).

After 20 minutes: zero blocked domains. Only harmless Debian/AppStream traffic observed.

BashCore doesn’t track you. No telemetry, no background noise.

Don’t trust it? Test it yourself.

Cheers.

The Register: Passive RFIDs can now stream telemetry data from sensors. “The new standard makes it possible to stream data from sensors married to passive tags, by allocating a frequency channel to each device. When radio waves reaches a tag, the device wakes up and broadcasts the basic info it contains and then negotiates a clear channel on which to stream data.”

Panic?
Oh... kay #Google !

Dear deep #Privacy watchers:

I don't understand half of this, & generally avoid Google products if I can; don't do cloud, and stay un-logged in when possible.

I haven't enjoyed/respected Google since the genocide of the beloved #GooglePlus community, and the repeal of #DontBeEvil ...

BUT... even as a non-paranoid, non-Google-platform user who studies #media & #words ... Is this not ominous?

This Week in Data: There’s No Such Thing as a Normal Month

(“This Week in Data” is a series of blog posts that the Data Team at Mozilla is using to communicate about our work. Posts in this series could be release notes, documentation, hopes, dreams, or whatever: so long as it’s about data.)

At the risk of reminding you of a Nickleback song, look at this graph:

I’ve erased the y-axis because the absolute values don’t actually matter for this discussion, but this is basically a sparkline plot of active users of Firefox Desktop for 2025. The line starts and ends basically at the same height but wow does it have a lot of ups and downs between.

I went looking at this shape recently while trying to estimate the costs of continuing to collect Legacy Telemetry in Firefox Desktop. We’re at the point in our migration to Glean where you really ought to start removing your Legacy Telemetry probes unless you have some ongoing analyses that depend on them. I was working out a way to get a back-of-the-envelope dollar figure to scare teams into prioritizing such removals to be conducted sooner rather than later.

Our ingestion metadata (how many bytes were processed by which pieces of the pipeline) only goes back sixty days, and I was worried that basing my cost estimate on numbers from December 2025 would make them unusually low compared to “a normal month”.

But what’s “normal”? Which of these months could be considered “normal” by any measure? I mean:

• January: Beginning-of-year holiday slump
• February: Only twenty-eight days long
• March: Easter (sometimes), DST begins
• April: Easter (sometimes), something that really starts suppressing activity
• May: What’s with that big rebound in the second half?
• June: Last day of school
• July: School’s out, Northern Hemisphere Summer means less time on the ‘net and more time touching grass
• August: Typical month for vacations in Europe
• September: Back-to-school
• October: Maybe “normal”?
• November: US Thanksgiving
• December: End-of-year holiday slump

October and maybe May are perhaps the closest things we have to “normal” months, and by being the only “normal”-ish months that makes them rather abnormal, don’t you think?

Now, I’ve been lying to you with data visualization here. If you’re exceedingly clever you’ll notice that, in the sparkline plot above, not only did I take the y-axis labels off, I didn’t start the y-axis at 0 (we had far more than zero active users of Firefox Desktop at the end of August, after all). I chose this to be illustrative of the differences from month to month, exaggerating them for effect. But if you look at, say, the Monthly Active Users (now combined Mobile + Desktop) on data.firefox.com it paints a rather more sedate picture, doesn’t it:

This isn’t a 100% fair comparison as data.firefox.com goes back years, and I stretched 2025 to be the same width, above… but you see what data visualization choices can do to help or hinder the story you’re hoping to tell.

At any rate, I hope you found it as interesting as I did to learn that December’s abnormality makes it just as “normal” as the rest of the months for my cost estimation purposes.

Telemetry...

What would the poor #webdevs do without being able to track the exact mouse movement position and all...

Wonder if it actually reaches them in these cases or if e.g. cloudflare throws it away intermittendly then anyway...

Former #Microsoft engineer explains why #Windows 'sucks'
#DavePlummer's complaints boil down to two main: desire for hardcore mode that optionally removes all fluffiness added to #operatingsystem for the benefit of non-technical, and combination of transparency and end to 'Microsoft knows best' attitude that plagues recent releases. Engineer suggests that it should be possible to mute #telemetry categories without fear of an update turning them back on in the background.
