I got to this from an email with the pretentiously more informative subject line “The data sharing model for your non-commercial license is changing.”

TL;DR:

  • they will collect basically all IDE actions and code snippets
  • opt-out for free licenses
  • opt-in at admin level for organizations

What frustrates me most is that jetbrains had a winning formula

They made, imo, the best ide's, striking the balance between intuitive and useful without drifting too far into bloat

I just don't vibe with jetbrains wanting access to my code and data and how i use the ide itself - imagine if your hammer took a picture every time it was swung while tracking the swing trajectory and force and sent it to a thousand unknown people

its just fucking weird and its fucking weird that jetbrains presses this onto us - even as an opt-in its wierd

Even at it most innocent, and not the reality of trying to build the tool that ousts us out of our trade and craft, i still dont want some code cuck sitting in the corner of my periphery hyperventilating on every keystroke and variable name i make

Once they started pushing the AI shit, I immediately unsubscribed and am sticking to my perpetual/fallback (or whatever is it called) license. I don't see any reason to continue paying for new versions and features, when most of those new features are AI related, and I slowly started transitioning into nvim.

Also, I really hate the tone in which this blogpost is written. As if crying in a blog post changes anything about how extremely anti-consumer this move is. Fuck off, JetBrains.
