    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.

      Why does every one of these apps pollute the home directory by default? You'd think AI would be able to write the code to make the app fucking behave properly and store its settings in the platform appropriate way.

        I mean .config is a newcomer, it's only been around for 23 years. Dotfiles in the home directory goes back to 1971!

          And the person involved in their creation said dot-files were a bad idea in the first place! We should stop this nonsense.
