It is a compile-time-only configuration parameter. It cannot be
disabled at runtime if it was compiled into the program. If there is anything someone who works on linux/foss
code should learn,
its that this is NOT winderz, and we DO value our privacy.
What makes you think your privacy cannot be violated while using Linux
or using FOSS?
The value of FOSS is exactly that you can freely modify the code (in
this case actually just a compile configuration option) if you don't
like a feature..
I think we
can hold the funeral dirge for ardour right about now,
because as long
as its packaged with that enabled, it is not going to be installed here.
As said: it's FOSS, just compile it without that option ;-)
