I’m still concerned about MS using the code I write on my laptop to train AI. Tinfoil hat wearing Linux users are starting to make a lot of sense to me.

- DougN7 6mo agoI thought that’s more what the CoPilot change is really about - not your repo, but all the code CoPilot read while it is offering helpful completions, etc - so literally the code on your laptop. I cancelled my account.

- qaadika 6mo agoIt's been interesting the past year or so watching myself turn more and more into one of the tin-foil wearing linux users. I'm not sure how it happened, but self-hosting became more and more alluring and hyperfocusing on taking as much data as I can offline became worth spending entire weekends on. I didn't become paranoid, everybody else didn't!
- account42 6mo agoYou don't need a tinfoil hat so see the value in having a computer you fully own as opposed to one where some company can push whatever you want and all you get to say is "yes master" or perhaps if you are really lucky, "maybe later".
