&gt; So every site and every product on the internet has this dark pattern.<p>Not every site&#x2F;product on the internet uses an abusive analytics platform, hell not all of them use analytics at all.<p>With sites visited in a browser, an extension can be used to block access to abusive services such as GA. There is no Ghostery for the terminal.<p>I have no issue with them wanting to collect usage information. I <i>opt-in</i> to Debian&#x27;s package usage tracking.<p>If I still used Homebrew, I would have a <i>huge</i> issue with them sending information about what packages I install to Google.
