Is zeitgeist safe?
From the package description of zeitgeist or zeitgeist-core:
"Zeitgeist is a service which logs the user's activities and events
(files opened, websites visited, conversations held with other people,
et.c ) and makes the relevant information available to other applications."
"It serves as a comprehensive activity log and also makes it possible to
determine relationships between items based on usage patterns".
This thing sounds scary. And apparently it's installed by default as a
GNOME dependency. In fact, uninstalling it will also uninstall the gnome
metapackage (as well the rhythm-plugins package, so you end up with a
nerfed Rhythmbox).
Is this thing safe? How does uninstalling it break functionality?
P.S. This package is also recommended by software-center.
