If it's something that you use for a large part of your day, then there is nothing weird about it.


I checked my pi-hole query log and couldn't find any reference to the named telemetry address.


I can imagine they “fixed” it by just sending the telemetry now to the TLD so nobody complains any longer.


Windows amd64 as well now.


Nothing can ever replace your dog.

> Fred Fish was an American programmer that mailed out a floppy disk every month with a curated selection of the best open-source software available for the Amiga platform.

Fish disks contained mostly freeware/public domain as far as I remember. Not open-source software.
