hi
I ... don't know what to say to this. My only question would be does gnome online accounts transmit any info if you don't set it up? If it's not used, doesn't it just sit on the hard drive? Of course if you set it up, then it is probably going to connect to microsoft, google or whoever's servers to download email and the like. Also, it's free as in freedom software. I believe it's gplv3, although I might be wrong and it's gplv2 or lgpl, but in either case it's open source. Could the ability to add custom oAuth providers be added? If so, that would take care of your complaint about having to rebuild it.
Thanks

You can remove those packages in all the other distributions, BUT NOT ON FEDORA.
Only Fedora can't handle it, the removal of the mentioned package would also remove gnome-shell.
This is oppression by design.
Since it is not possible to add custom OAuth providers to the Gnome Online Accounts GUI without rebuilding the source, I see no use for it personally. For me, it is spyware. I would never connect my machine to Google, Microsoft or any NSA outlets. No thank you. _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@lists.fedoraproject.org
