privacy concerns

Open eudoxos opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

The examples go against (my) privacy expectations for open-source projects in 2 points:

  • all examples try to call home (powerbi.com) via the "hidden" file .sync_build.sh on Linux; this should be opt-in, not something by-default and without a visible notice (yes, I know this is metioned in https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLite#hero-features).
  • instructions suggest to run binary-distributed xWindow (which is already a red flag) with sudo — seriously...?!

  • Will make the notice more visible later
  • xWindow will share memory with HelloXXX application, which need super user permission.
