    Do you have a better way of measuring it?

    No better way of measuring doesn’t mean this is a good way of measuring.

        A method that attempts to collect data from a randomized or representative population rather than relying on self-report.

        What way do you imagine would be more precise?

        Unavoidable analytics, apparently. Yay?

          Well do you want useful stats or not /s

          But seriously, a lot of opt-in (that never get opted in to) data is insanely useful for developers, but it has such a bad stigma that we never get anywhere close to the amount of usefulness a larger dataset could provide.

          I like the way kde does it. On first install it gives a slider with how much analytics you want to send. I just do all of it because I trust KDE, but it’s nice that it asks you. They probably have some pretty good data.

            This is the important point IMHO. This kind of feedback is exactly something I’d love to do, but I don’t think I had any idea about it before this post. Just a little popup on a new install/upgrade would be a much broader net.
