Is it so hard to say "lied". Like give me a break

Just like using a remote desktop tool in a scam I suppose

You would need to make touching a config file non existent. They've improved this over time, but not quite there I imagine.

AntennaPod is another great option. I've already switched after the initial announcement.

So make it a public utility perhaps considering it's so critical these days

Kagi is simply awesome. Not free but there are reasons for that. There are other alternatives like DDG and whatnot but man, I love Kagi so much.

Wasn't for me. However here are some key moments:

Follow the principles of object-oriented programming like inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism.
Don't overuse inheritance - the relationship between classes should make logical sense.
Keep methods short - if a method exceeds 50 lines, look for ways to abstract functionality out.
Consider existing open-source solutions before writing your own code from scratch. Leveraging others' work saves time.
Avoid hacking together quick fixes - take time to implement proper, maintainable solutions.
Plan for reusability - code with the goal of making parts reusable by yourself and others.
Prioritize readability - write code that's easy for others to understand.
Modularize your code into logical, independent pieces.
Test early and often to catch bugs quickly.
Refactor regularly to improve design as your understanding evolves.

Go for AntennaPod. FOSS and works great

In addition as the earlier reply mentions -- "typically" collect. It has no knowledge of the data I believe. Simply what tracker is used and what it can be used for. Good for who, but not for what.
