Everything you've said only stands for public university (which is better than private schools however). In the private world, you're looking at ~10000€ a year.
So why in the hell would you pay 50k. That's 33 times as much, guys just come to France
I believe it's more expensive for foreigners to study in France now. You're looking at ~3000€ per year IIRC.
I have one of those, it won't work with my Linux though :/
Yes, and it makes sense that it would, and I'd happily give such data to developers I trust to make the programs I love better.
However, that same click data (maybe with some how-long-have-you-looked-at-this data) can definitely be used to target ads at me, which in my book is not okay. And as I said in my comment before, it's really difficult (at least for me) to trust companies.
To me, telemetry would be like a sofa company wanting to put some cameras in your home to see if you're using the sofa the way they thought you would. It just feels... off.
“90% of crashes happen right after the player uses a grenade”.
Imo, a simple opt-in crash report gets the job done. Technically it is telemetry, but a crash report is more justified than a "where have you clicked" report.
telemetry data for software from reputable companies does not get sold
There's just no trust in companies to not sell my data. I cannot trust Microsoft nor Google nor any other company to not sell my data, having seen the shenanigans every single company is willing to pull off to get a cent more a year.
The closest that comes to mind are QSFP cables.
