Description
➤ YN0065: Yarn will periodically gather anonymous telemetry: https://yarnpkg.com/advanced/telemetry
➤ YN0065: Run yarn config set --home enableTelemetry 0 to disable
This is also the command shown at https://yarnpkg.com/advanced/telemetry/ (“To disable it on your whole machine (but not for anyone else), run yarn config set --home enableTelemetry 0.”).
So I ran this:
$ yarn config set --home enableTelemetry 0
yarn config v1.22.19
success Set "0" to true.
Done in 0.08s.
I followed a hunch from https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/config which shows --global at the end, and that seemed to do better:
$ yarn config set enableTelemetry 0 --home
yarn config v1.22.19
success Set "enableTelemetry" to "0".
Done in 0.07s.

Research direction
Reproduce the two yarn config set commands from the issue and inspect the telemetry instructions at yarnpkg.com/advanced/telemetry, along with the config command handling. Done means the documented command stores enableTelemetry correctly and disables telemetry as stated.
