JetBrains will be opting all free IDE users into sharing their program code to train JetBrains’s AI models.
Today I’m blocking JetBrains IDEs in our MDM. Then we can turn it back on for employees who show that they have a paid license and it’s configured to opt out of the sharing.

My most controversial tech opinion: Google is by far the best option among the big tech giants. Their products and services are least likely to fuck you over. Google is also far more transparent about how their services work, what data they use, and how to get your data out.
On top of that, and this is the most crucial reason: Google's golden goose is the user data it collects. This data is safer within Google than it will be literally anywhere else - yes, even if you self-host, because your skills will not be as good, and your means not as vast, to protect and secure your stuff as Google's.
No, Google does not sell your data. It would be absolutely stupid to do so. Using Google's services means sharing your data with Google, yes, but that's it. It does not leave Google. Ever. No other company is as dependent on data as Google, and protecting it is crucial to Google's survival, more so than for any other company.
People get really upset when you point all of this out, because it goes against every bit of marketing and scaremongering over the past 10-15 years, primarily originating at Apple.
You've been suckered.

UPDATE: A massive thanks to everyone who helped out with this ☺️
As a result, my little single-user instance has made contact with 11,274 other instances across the Fedi 😲
So no further boosts needed, really appreciate everyone who helped out 😁
ORIGINAL POST: I've got a quick favour to ask. If you're reading this post on Mastodon (or the Fediverse), please click boost.
How come?
I recently moved across to my own self-hosted single-user server (using GoToSocial.org). For a bunch of reasons, including visibility across the Fedi, it would really help out.

🚨 Let’s Encrypt at risk from Trump cuts to OTF: “Let’s Encrypt received around $800,000 in funding from the OTF”
Dear @EUCommission, get your heads out of your arses and let’s find @letsencrypt €1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.
If Let’s Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we don’t let that happen, yeah?
(In the meanwhile, if the Let’s Encrypt folks want to make a point about how essential they are, it might be an idea to refuse certificates to republican politicians. See how they like their donation systems breaking in real time…)

EU can make it as a web developer. I use these:
- https://social.anoxinon.de/@Codeberg is a nonprofit for software development and collaboration.
- https://uberspace.social/@ubernauten does hosting for people with little shell shyness. ssh is the new black.
- https://mastodon.social/@inwx is a domain name registrar. It works.
Hey peeps, if you're still using #GitLab and #GitHub and you're twitching a bit because they're fellating fascists, I want to point to the sign that says you can self-host @forgejo - a project which is also working on decentralisation and federation.
Failing that, @Codeberg also exists, are a European non-profit that also supports the development of Forgejo.
Hope that helps 😀

With increasing attacks on trans people in many places of the world collecting and providing information about potential escape routes is becoming more and more important. @transworldexpress is collecting that crucial information. #transrightsarehumanrights

Der ÖVP-Bürgermeister in Tulln hat sein Herz und Hirn dort, wo es hingehört.
Ganz entgegen dem Trend seiner Partei. Und er hat damit 60% bei der letzten Wahl eingefahren...
Leider gibts zu wenige von ihm in seiner Partei...
Und das schreib ich sehr ernst gemeint als bei der Wahl unterlegener Grüner.
