1.2 has been released, does this fixed the issue to warrant to re-enable it? if yes..remember to enable for git build also (as currently it's "Disabled until upstream complies with the KDE policies") https://jriddell.org/2022/02/07/kuserfeedback-1-2-0/
The compliance is an issue of the individual users of kuserfeedback, not kuserfeedback itself.
dont really get the issue...but okay
KDE policy requires projects using kuserfeedback to have a discussion / review of what's collected (see https://community.kde.org/Telemetry_Use). Plasma has not done so, in violation of KDE's own policies. Therefore kuserfeedback support is disabled for Plasma and related software.
Ohh...well that sucks...and does sound weird (why it exist then if plasma hasn't done that), as apparently KDE team does use the data they collect for their development (for example "cover task switch wasn't ported originally, because according to the data there wasn't many who used it...but after some backlash they ported it :D)
about this being disable on openSUSE, so KDE closed the bug report https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418981 with "Not a bug; saving local data that isn't sent anywhere isn't telemetry, it's how your system remembers state and settings." -statement
I don't see how that statement is related to why kuserfeedback is disabled by default here
so this will be disabled on openSUSE forever? and I still have no understanding why ....KDE says there is no issue and other Distros have on issue have it enabled...so why openSUSE has it disabled?
Maybe. Personally I don't really like how this was handled.
No, they acknowledged that there was an issue.
Those other distros also didn't notice that the KDE policies were violated.
