Silly of Microsoft. It is acting like a entitled brat by not disabling telemetry by default. Imagine if every piece of software had telemetry enabled by default. Imagine if ls, cp, mv, rm, cc, vi, emacs, etc. all had telemetry enabled by default.

With free software, users will have the freedom to fork and change any function. It's too bad that people are too blind to invest their life energy into software freedom.

When you recall that bulding fences requires energy as well, it sounds especially ridiculous that you are telling to invest life energy to *not* to occlude the freedom.

The thing about free software is that people are free to fork and share the software. Take for example MS VS Code, it is partly free software and it has features that many users object to. Some people forked it to remove the malfeatures and now we have a version that achieves the main essence of VS Code without the bad stuff; we don't have to invest our effort to continually patch out the bad stuff in VS Code, we can just focus our energy on the forks that don't harm us.
I see people doing using their energy to continually patch out malfeatures of proprietary software because they feel that the proprietary software desired features are worth the energy of constantly fighting with the ideals of the software owner. This is not necessary with free software, you can invest energy one time to remove malfeatures, then all future energy goes towards extending and improving the desired features.
