Assuming you're unhappy with this (I am neutral on it), I'm actually curious: what do you lose by iTerm2 having an opt-in feature that you don't need to use? How do you replace all the lost features of iTerm2 that aren't in Terminal.app? And if there aren't any features you're losing out on, why did you even switch to iTerm2?
- rideontime 2y agoThis was in response to the suggestion that one "edits" out the feature.

- mmastrac 2y agoUhh, I don't understand. It's an open-source project with a ton of eyeballs on it. Are you saying that someone is going to sneak in a change to exfiltrate all keystrokes in a massively popular terminal app without anyone noticing? Is this risk new somehow?
- dcow 2y agoUhhh what? localhost to ollama is surveillance?
- r053bud 2y agoI guarantee this is the beginning of iTerm2 becoming a closed-source paid product. Oh, I'm sure there will always be an "open source" version of it, but we have all seen this movie before.
- madeofpalk 2y agoWhy would you think this? There are plenty of open source products which intergrate with APIs, including OpenAI.
- fetzu 2y agoI fail to see how this is not a slippery slope argument. A feature was added to a GPL’d open-source project, and said feature relies on a third party (OpenAI) in order to work.
