The other day I was thinking there should be a fork of dotnet. The two things that it would do differently would be telemetry being totally removed, and an alternative to nuget.org with the requirement that packages be published with free software licenses. Setting such a thing up could be insurance in case they pull anything in the future, too.

From 2021-2024, I worked for a company where this crap mattered. I’m so glad I quit. Now I work for a small company with 3 other engineers.
