Nach allem hin und her hier in den Kommentaren und sub-threads bezüglich Gesetzen und Daten, Telemetrie usw. bleibt dennoch ein fahler Geschmack von "Warum wird da irgendwas ohne meine Kenntnis an Thunderbird gesendet?" - selbst wenn es sich tatsächjlich um "unbedenkliche" Daten handelt.
Ein Grund mehr, warum ich auf meinem Android FairEmail einsetze.
My gut feeling is that anything, which is collected from my side, whether PII or not, protected or not, should only take place after I get a message on first run, asking me if it's okay to collect usage data. Including a brief list of what data is collected, whether it's anonimized, pseudomized, etc and allow me to say "no".
Anything collected before I have any chance of opt-in or opt-out to me sounds like "we proactively have already started collecting data. If you don't want this to go on, you can switch it off in settings" and leaves a smell of privacy pooh on my desktop.
In other words: It's a dishonest behaviour to me if I am NOT aware of things going on before things start to happen.
Würde mal sagen da haben die sauber portiert: Der TBird auf Linux (flatpak) macht das auch...:

Would be interesting (on a side note) to see what "other" OS these are.
I could imagine the OS/2-and successors (eComStation, ArcaOS) are amongst them, as well as folks running midrange vintage at home for fun.
Or probably folks who didn't understand their OS actually is some Linux flavor. 😄
