   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.

         Combination of main character syndrome, and wanting consistency across platforms like MacOS, which doesn't define $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or $XDG_CACHE_HOME.

            It’s not hard to default to ~/.config

               It's even easier to not spray file diarrhea all over my home directory on macOS and put things where the belong in ~/Library/Preferences

                  No! ~/Library/ is for rubes! Everything should go in ~/.config/

                     Absolutely not. Dot-files and dot-folders are crap. Stupid, ugly, moronic crap. Dogshit. You want to use that XDG poo-poo don't use a Mac.

                        You’re free to never install Unix software on your Mac.

                        Some of us like to install apps that are primarily intended for Linux and are more than happy to have both Linux oriented and macOS oriented programs on the same machine.

                        Dotfiles are not “crap”. They work quite well, and I’d rather tab out .config vs wade through Library any day.
