the price is ok, the only thing i think with is that github (microsoft) gets to read all your code. for opensource this is certainly not an issue, but for intellectual property it is.

That ship has sailed. Almost nothing is private any more

This is of course a fatalistic view, but not the only one. :-)

In europe, we have the GDPR rules that companies have to follow.

People have the possibility to demand the deletion of their data. But how do i get the data out of the ai database?

in any case, it is important to switch off the telemetry.

there is also a discussion about this here:

And thanks to GDPR and lazyness or cost-effectiveness reasons, companies apply the same privacy rules globally and not only for EU.
