What the hell,

Also, check this out:

[...] edit history, terminal usage, and your interactions with AI features. This may include code snippets, prompt text, and AI responses.

No sensitive or personal information is shared.

Access is restricted to authorized personnel and use cases.

For everyone using their IDEs: How to disable possible data-collection in IntelliJ-based IDEs (like RustRover, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.)

  1. Open IDE Settings
  2. Navigate to: Appearance & Behavior →System Settings → Data Sharing
  3. In the right panel, uncheck all possible.

@morihofi @kytta The blog post clearly shows you how to opt-out..one click...you're making drama because you can?
