▲ 539 ▼ Tails no longer recommending balenaEtcher (tails.net) submitted 2 years ago by xela@lemmy.ml to c/privacy@lemmy.ml 176 comments fedilink hide all child comments I am shocked by this - the quote in below is very concerning: "However, in 2024, the situation changed: balenaEtcher started sharing the file name of the image and the model of the USB stick with the Balena company and possibly with third parties."
