Incredible, the last two months absolutely crushed on the first day of December and all it took was a single desktop notification. This is just the paypal donations as well. You can take a look at the data for yourself here.

    This is not a suggestion to have KDE track users, it’s a proposal to build software you could optionally use to help you assign donations to services you use. I would expect the data to be local, and if you don’t want to be tracked then you wouldn’t install it.

      Well yeah, I get the sentiment, but it would be one vulnerability away from sharing my tracked information to malicious actors. Would also probably need elevated permissions to be able to do its job.

      Not worth the risk in my opinion. Same as I don’t want kernel level anticheats and yada yada.

      I recently looked into that because I was searching for a time tracking software that logs the active window title. Unfortunately it seems like this is currently not easily implementable when using Wayland. I found a protocol that looked promising but sadly it isn’t implemented by kwin.
