Unsanity takes into account the recent controversy over Smart Crash Reports (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you probably don’t care; but if you’re curious, start here) and releases an update that asks before it installs. To emphasize on how they abide by the “Don’t be evil” policy, they take extra measures to show how so very much they care for users:
If the user dismisses the dialog by clicking the “Don’t Install” button but does NOT check the “Don’t Show Again” checkbox, then they will not see the dialog for next 24 hours, no matter how many times UnsanitySCR Install() will be called by application(s) as to not annoy the user with too many dialogs.
Nice, quick (enough) thinking. And, really, the 24-hour thing is a nice touch (although it’s unexpected, from the user’s point of view, so you might be disoriented when you happen to run the program again and it doesn’t ask, or you may assume that SCR did actually get installed against your will).
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
