A big fuss about nothing. If you don’t pay for the IDE they will train on your data unless you opt-out and they will ask you if you want to opt-out _before_ they collect any data (on first launch after the update).
If you have a subscription then it’s opt-in.
That seems perfectly reasonable.
- sschueller 1y agoIf you ask if you want to opt-out, then why isn't it opt-in which would be the definition of that...
- joshstrange 1y agoBecause they know, like everyone else, that opt-out results in more people not opting out. Again, this is for the people using JetBrains IDEs for _free_. You can pay for a subscription and it becomes opt-in. I think it's completely reasonable for it to be opt-out or even required for the free product. Giving non-paying people a choice is a step above what I feel they are required to do (morally, ethically, etc).

Not sure what I'm missing with spacemacs + LSP compared to vscode. (Spac)emacs does not train on my data. I don't pay for spacemacs.
