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?

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

Thanks for the warning, switching to Jerboa.
