All paid products do that that you use every day

    Not on my machine. Or at least, I do everything humanly possible to limit it.

    Either through:

    • Switching to FOSS alternatives
    • Custom patches applied to proprietary binaries.
    • Blocking network access for certain processes

    I don't expect everyone to become a privacy expert though.

    However I do believe systematic privacy is important, and that we should aim for better privacy laws to keep the intellectual property of the average user safe.

    I mean yeah that's why I use local models that suck completely for code completion. But why single out copilot when every single electronic device is in a permanent war for cloud capital

    Well, the post was about copilot,
    so that's what my comment was about.

    But I agree, fck all big-tech software.

    If it's not produced by a non-profit as open source, then it's not worth your time.

    (Due to anti-consumer practices, spy-ware/telemetry or vunerabilities to worry about)
