   The desktop build seems to enable telemetry by default. Regular `dsh web` only has telemetry for explicit user feedback. Hmm :/

   If like me you're mildly bothered by this, add these lines to $DSH_HOME/cordis.patch.yml before first startup ($DSH_HOME is ~/.dsh by default):

       - id: desktop-product-telemetry
         disabled: true
       - id: product-analytics
         disabled: true
       - id: session-log-deepseek
         config:
           enabled: false
   

   On-topic: I like DeepSeek Harness quite a bit, but the problem with "Everything Is A Plugin" is that when this includes core functionality, you still have to maintain downstream patches for those core plugins if you want to tweak existing behaviour. I currently have ~25 downstream commits and 0 new plugins.

      not surprising. their approaches are generally leaning on gathering as much user data as possible, e.g. the paid API can't opt out training. I'd always double-check before using any service from them.

         That's the compromise: Deepseek gets our data and the CCP gets our data. You get very cheap tokens. BUYER BEWARE!

            You work for Anthropic?

            Why do you suppose everyone would rather share data with Mosad and CIA than with CCP?

            In China, my data is safe. Safe from you, safe from the CIA, safe from Mosad.
