So the honest people wanting convenience will go somewhere else.

Now you only have dishonest people left, good job.

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?

I'm already on my way out of Plex to Jellyfin.

I had a nice run with my lifetime pass, but the road ahead has been very clear the last couple of years of where Plex is headed.

Any "first world" country that will accept you.

I think you'd have to relocate for that.
