Makes MS seem desperate. Fordicing it down everyones throat and displaying ads in the OS…

This is a ridiculous statement. Copilot should be opt-in, not opt-out and the setting is new.

Perfectly reasonable by the sysadmin to not have that already set.

When the switch to run it on a server is “/unsafe” I think I’ll pass 🤣

But… Hugo is not a self hosting solution. Hugo just makes html files, it doesn’t host anything.

There are a lot of stuff on that list that I don’t understand how it’s “self hosted”

Hugo for example. It is just an application/framework to generate static websites. I guess you can self host the websites, but…

It’s like saying notepad.exe is self hosted.

When an online service is free it generally means you’re the product.

now they have your email.

That’s why you use hide-my-email aliases when you sign up to sites, so they can’t tie “your” email to you anymore.

Every time I 'm forced to use a google account

Create a few junk accounts, send recovery to a hide-my-email alias

If you use password managers it really is no bother to have multiple accounts, and Proton Pass integrates hide-my-email, it’s pretty neat.

And this is a privacy issue?

What’s wrong with Mozilla?

I think you’d have to relocate for that.

Oh no not my email adress and username

You give of “if she wears a short skirt she deserves it” energy

Well yeah, there’s a lot more of them on the internet.

The only privacy setting I can encourage on any social media site is don’t share private stuff about yourself and never link to your account from other accounts

Initially I agreed with OP, but while reading the replies I realized that I am wrong. I should not be going to generalized communities expecting specialized posts.

It would be like going to “funny” and only expecting new jokes.

I’ll move on and try to find something better aligned with my needs.

Thanks for the warning, switching to Jerboa.

Yes, the extremely popular handheld PC gaming market.

PowerShell 7 quietly took off while I was struggling with my IBS.

Aren’t there meme communities where you could put this instead?

That’s funny, because getting an ad for Copilot inside my startmenu was actually what made me go back to Linux after 10 years.

This tracks.
