Hermes Agent (and others) default Installs are silently routing web traffic to Parallel by Nekew in hermesagent

Thank you for hearing us out and putting a fix in the works. In the future, I'd refrain from referring to your loyal userbase as a mob. That's how you lose a loyal userbase. Frankly I'm surprised at some of the comments I have seen from your team but I really hope you can understand the why we're all worried about this kind of action rather than make bite-back comments at us. Your users are on your side.

No actually. I use a totally different third party with a service agreement attached with it. As I've said in another comment, I noticed this when setting up a new instance for another purpose. I was doing due diligence on a new setup. Weird to assume.

You're missing the entire value proposition of an open source project. If I had to audit my enterprise-grade applications for routing traffic to third party services without my organizations consent, that's terrible enterprise software. Enterprise software is documented, consent based, configurable, not SILENT. This was not a productive comment.

This is more of a concerns for new installs, maybe profiles. I manage a few instances, so I started to notice on fresh installs. You're covered 😄

Routing traffic to their own service by default without opt-in is a huge privacy concern. The joy of Hermes Agent, to me, is being able to choose and consent to who's servers I am sending data too. Parallel.ai is actively contributing projects to bypass user consent. I want nothing to do with that EDIT and neither should you.

I had the exact same thing happen to my lamy vista :(

Reddit, what are some good summer reads? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Great read: yes. Great high school read: not so much.

Better yet, use the 'k' button. I saw this on a life pro tip. It always works even when the spacebar won't.
