    Boy does that ever make my skin crawl.

    I didn’t like it when it was a Microsoft product, and even as an open-source one do I ever not want an app collating everything about me, where I go, what I look at, and who I talk to into a single database.

    Especially since they don’t talk about how they secure the local data; this is just making a one-stop shop for someone to steal and then learn absolutely everything there is to know about you.

      Yup. This is how you create a single point of failure when it comes to privacy.

        I keep looking at all this data collection stuff and wonder if I’m actually crazy to be bothered by it, especially given that I’m totally not a privacy extremist.

        Maybe I’m one of the people that doesn’t feel the need to constantly go back to figure out what I did a week ago or whatever, and thus all I’m seeing is a tool that knows more about me than I do, and then puts all that data in a single place that is now the prime target for every malicious actor on the planet.
