Zorin OS Responds to the Privacy Concerns
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
_**There were some privacy concerns around ‘data collection’ in Zorin OS. It’s FOSS spoke to Zorin OS CEO and here is his response to the controversy.**_
|
||||
|
||||
After a few days of [Zorin OS 15 Lite][1] release, a Reddit thread surfaced which flagged a privacy concern regarding the Linux distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
The [Reddit thread][2] focuses on the [privacy policy][3] of Zorin OS and warns users that Zorin OS is sending anonymous pings every 60 minutes without users’ consent, which is potentially a privacy issue.
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
The policy in question can be quoted here as:
|
||||
|
||||
> _**Anonymous pings**: When using Zorin OS, your computer may occasionally send us a ping which includes an anonymous unique identifier for your computer. We use this information to count the number of active users of Zorin OS. The unique identifier does not identify you unless you (or someone acting on your behalf) discloses it separately. You may choose to disable these pings by uninstalling the “Zorin-os-census” package from your computer_
|
||||
|
||||
Now, there’s a lot of [discussions][5] surrounding the concern. There’s also a [YouTube video][6] talking about it.
|
||||
|
||||
In a nutshell, it’s a mess. Some insist that they collect our IP addresses and some users complain that they should ask about it while installing Zorin OS.
|
||||
|
||||
While I agree that they could add an opt-out option in the installation process – so I reached out to **Artyom Zorin** (_CEO, Zorin Group_) to clarify the situation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Zorin’s Clarification On What They Collect With Every Anonymous Ping
|
||||
|
||||
When I asked for an elaborate explanation of what the “**anonymous unique identifier**” includes, Artyom mentioned – “_It appears that there are some inaccuracies and misconceptions about the census in the comments sections_“.
|
||||
|
||||
To continue the explanation about the unique identifier, he assured that **their servers do not log IP addresses** when a ping arrives.
|
||||
|
||||
The zorin-os-census script **simply counts the number of unique computers using Zorin OS** and no personal data is being collected along with it.
|
||||
|
||||
Artyom explained in detail:
|
||||
|
||||
> The anonymous identifier is a series of letters and numbers which is randomly generated (not based on any external data) and only used for the Zorin OS Census. Its single purpose is to make sure that the computer isn’t double-counted when a ping is sent from a computer to the server. On a fully-installed Zorin OS system, the anonymous identifier can be found in /var/lib/zorin-os-census/uuid and should look like this:_68f2d95b-f51f-4a5d-9b48-a99c28691b89_
|
||||
> *
|
||||
> *We would like to clarify that no personal or personally-identifiable data is being collected by us and the server does not log IP addresses when pings arrive. The zorin-os-census script is only used to count the number of computers and users running Zorin OS after installation. Even I wouldn’t be able to tell which computer is my own from looking at the server-side database. I have attached a screenshot of a snippet of the database table displaying the information we store.
|
||||
|
||||
He also stressed his ‘commitment on privacy’:
|
||||
|
||||
> Privacy is an essential human right. It’s a core tenet of our mission to give you back control of your technology, and not the other way around. We make privacy a priority with every decision we make, and we’re committed to protecting it in every level of the software we build.
|
||||
|
||||
As you can observe in the response above, he shared a screenshot of how their database of unique identifiers looks like:
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
If you’re still curious, you can also check out the [source code][8] for the zorin-os-census script.
|
||||
|
||||
### Can We Opt-Out Of It?
|
||||
|
||||
While the data collected may be ‘harmless’, it is important to give the option to the user whether or not they want Zorin OS to collect the data, right?
|
||||
|
||||
So, when I inquired about the same, he mentioned that i**t was already something planned for Zorin OS 15 Lite release**.
|
||||
|
||||
However, they did not want to rush to add it before properly testing it. Hence, they decided to keep it for the upcoming release (**Zorin OS 15.1**) which is planned to arrive in **early-to-mid December this year.**
|
||||
|
||||
> We have in fact been working on implementing an opt-out option for this into the Zorin OS installer (Ubiquity). To ensure the stability and accessibility of this new functionality we’re adding to Ubiquity, we have scheduled a period of time to translate the text strings and rigorously test the software (in order to avoid regressions), as the installer is a critical component of the operating system. Unfortunately, the testing period for the opt-out option didn’t complete before our planned release of Zorin OS 15 Lite, and we, therefore, decided not to risk adding it before we could guarantee its stability. However, we are on track to include the opt-out option in the upcoming Zorin OS 15.1 release, which we plan to release in early-to-mid December.
|
||||
|
||||
### Will It Be Something Similar To What Ubuntu Does?
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu does let you opt-out from collecting information about your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
So, when I asked if Zorin OS will add something similar to that, he responded with some details about how Ubuntu collects data and how Zorin OS is different from that.
|
||||
|
||||
He mentioned the fact that Ubuntu comes pre-installed with a **popularity-contest** package that **occasionally sends data of what packages the user has installed** to the Ubuntu Developers.
|
||||
|
||||
And, further clarified that **Zorin OS does not include that**.
|
||||
|
||||
> While Ubuntu’s telemetry tool gives users the option to not send extensive information about the computers to the Ubuntu developers, selecting the “No” option still sends a ping to Ubuntu’s servers .
|
||||
>
|
||||
> From our research, it is not clear whether Ubuntu’s servers store logs of users’ IP addresses when they receive telemetry data. In addition, Zorin OS does not include the “popularity-contest” package that is pre-installed in Ubuntu. This package is designed to occasionally send a list of all packages a user has installed on their computer to the Ubuntu developers.
|
||||
|
||||
**In the end…**
|
||||
|
||||
While the concern regarding the anonymous pings may not seem to a privacy threat, an opt-out option should be presented to the user while installing Zorin OS. Let’s wait and watch if it should arrive in the upcoming Zorin OS 15.1 release.

Open Source Music Notations Software MuseScore 3.3 Released!
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
_**Brief: MuseScore is an open-source software to help you create, play, and print sheet music. They released a major update recently. So, we take a look at what MuseScore has to offer**_ _**overall.**_
|
||||
|
||||
### MuseScore: A Music Composition and Notation Software
|
||||
|
||||
![][1]
|
||||
|
||||
[MuseScore][2] is open-source software that lets you create, play, and print [sheet music][3].
|
||||
|
||||
You can even use a MIDI keyboard as input and simply play the tune you want to create the notation of.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to make use of it, you need to know how sheet music notations work. In either case, you can just play something using your MIDI keyboard or any other instrument and learn how the music notations work while using it.
|
||||
|
||||
So, it should come in handy for beginners and experts as well.
|
||||
|
||||
You can download and use MuseScore for free. However, if you want to share your music/composition and reach out to a wider community on the MuseScore platform, you can opt to create a free or premium account on [MuseScore.com][4].
|
||||
|
||||
### Features of MuseScore
|
||||
|
||||
![Musescore 3 Screenshot][5]
|
||||
|
||||
MuseScore includes a lot of things that can be highlighted. If you are someone who is not involved in making music notations for your compositions – you might have to dig deeper just like me.
|
||||
|
||||
Usually, I just head over to any [DAW available on Linux][6] and start playing something to record/loop it without needing to create the music notations. So, for me, MuseScore definitely presents a learning curve with all the features offered.
|
||||
|
||||
I’ll just list out the features with some brief descriptions – so you can explore them if it sounds interesting to you.
|
||||
|
||||
* Supports Input via MIDI keyboard
|
||||
* You can transfer to/from other programs via [MusicXML][7], MIDI, and other options.
|
||||
* A Huge collection of palettes (music symbols) to choose from.
|
||||
* You also get the ability to re-arrange the palettes and create your own list of most-used palettes or edit them.
|
||||
* Some plugins supported to extend the functionality
|
||||
* Import PDFs to read and play notations
|
||||
* Several instruments supported
|
||||
* Basic or Advanced layout of palettes to get started
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Some of the recent key changes include the palettes redesign, accessibility, and the not input workflow. For reference, you can check out how the new palettes work:
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing MuseScore 3.3.3 on Ubuntu/Linux
|
||||
|
||||
The latest version of MuseScore is 3.3.3 with all the bug fixes and improvements to its recent [MuseScore 3.3 release][8].
|
||||
|
||||
You may find an older release in your Software Center (or your official repo). So, you can either opt for a Flatpak package, Snap, or maybe an AppImage from its [download page][9] with links for different Linux distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
[Download MuseScore][9]
|
||||
|
||||
**Wrapping Up**
|
||||
|
||||
I was quite fascinated to learn about MuseScore being an open-source and free solution to create, play, and print sheet music.
|
||||
|
||||
It may not be the most easy-to-use software there is – but when considering the work with music notations, it will help you learn more about it and help you with your work as well.

7 ways to remember Linux commands
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Some Linux commands are very easy to remember. The names may have only a couple letters and they often relate directly to what you want to do – like cd for changing directories or pwd for displaying the present working directory. Others can be very difficult to remember, especially if what you want to do relies on using a series of options.
|
||||
|
||||
So, let’s look at some commands and tricks that can help you remember commands that do just what you need them to do and that make issuing those commands so much easier.
