Description
I really like the idea behind joy, but i'm not happy with the way metrics and email addresses are collected by default and without the users consent. Actually, from my perspective, that's a reason not to use joy.
I think that joy should ask for permission before sending metrics for the fist time or at least notify the user about the fact and tell them how to disable it.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Go code that collects metrics and email addresses, then trace when collection begins and how configuration is handled. Done means users are asked for permission or clearly notified, and can disable both forms of collection.
