The biggest change Copilot has done for me so far is to have me replace my VSCode with VSCodium to be sure it doesn't sneak any uploading of my code to a third party without my knowing.

I'm all for new tech getting introduced and made useful, but let's make it all opt in, shall we?

Care to explain? Where are they uploading code to?

Whatever servers run Copilot for code suggestions

That isn't running locally
