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.

This was just an example, but I saw several such cases.

Today you learned a valuable lesson:

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?

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.

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.

Okay, thanks for your blog post buddy 👍

It’s the same on Debian, so I’m not sure what you mean?

I just don’t get why on windows and mac I can download the app from their site, install it and it just works

That’s what the instructions are guiding you to do.

If you hate the terminal then maybe Linux simply isn’t for you? That’s completely okay you know. Use the tool that’s right for you.

when IPv6 gets mainstream adoption.

After my death then. Alright, carry on.

I use them all with no issues.
