minus-squarehikaru755@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·edit-22 days ago if you are entitled to using a paid version for free (e. g. students, educators) you cannot opt-out of sharing your code. That is incorrect. According to the page you linked elsewhere: For individuals on non-commercial licenses: Data sharing is enabled by default, but you can turn it off anytime in the settings. (Emphasis mine) And for all other cases it’s opt-in. No idea how you got from that that you cannot opt-out. It literally says the opposite.

minus-squareexpr@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·2 days agoI didn’t jump to any conclusions. It was abundantly clear that what I was writing was hearsay based on secondhand information.

minus-squareMarand@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·2 days agoYou generalize too much. If you think Jetbrains are likely to take peoples code even though they opted out you should substantiate that.
