welp, never recommending that IDE again
Maybe read the text. Op is very dishonest with his quote
No, OP is 100% on the money. Your tongue is for tasting food and drinks, not boots. You are being dishonest to yourself and dont even know it.
The tongue isn't meant gor tasting, it's for showing loyalty!
OP is not dishonest. JB is opting everyone in, and the fact that they say you can opt-out doesn’t change that fact.
And stop caping for corporations. They are not our friends. There are no good corporations.
Boiled down , it basically makes their free versions be spyware about any code. But anyone can opt out. But few will know what is going on.
I am a subscriber so it will not affect me.
Is this a bad thing? I think Yes and no. Most coding entered into the free versions is not significant enough to give consequences. Morally, I find it offensive and later could be opted in myself without knowing. That would be a big deal for me.
Most people will never notice.
It does remind me of the saying: if something is free, you are the product.
I'd love to hear how that applies to community Linux distros.
I thought about that after I typed it. “Should I put in a disclaimer that this is limited to for-profit” companies? Nahhh, it will be fine”
