Either through:
- Switching to FOSS alternatives
- Custom patches applied to proprietary binaries.
- Blocking network access for certain processes
I don’t expect everyone to become a privacy expert though.
However I do believe systematic privacy is important, and that we should aim for better privacy laws to keep the intellectual property of the average user safe.

I mean yeah that’s why I use local models that suck completely for code completion. But why single out copilot when every single electronic device is in a permanent war for cloud capital

Well, the post was about copilot,
so that’s what my comment was about.
But I agree, fck all big-tech software.
If it’s not produced by a non-profit as open source, then it’s not worth your time.
(Due to anti-consumer practices, spy-ware/telemetry or vunerabilities to worry about)
