jetbrains is far from the first company to make this particular pair of claims but it is simply, on the most fundamental level, impossible to mass-collect people’s terminal and editor contents and also not collect sensitive or personal data.

That sounds like a lot, and it is, but that’s where the real value for improvements comes from. If you allow us to collect this data, we will make sure that:

@paco Not many of us can remember back when Ballcock Shank was playing shortstop for the Brooklyn Dodgers, but those who do can't forget Joe di Maggio's line drive off his nut bag.

That is a very valuable piece of baseball memorabilia you have there.

I'm using `noai.duckduckgo.com` but you can't get all the AI crap out of image search. God I hate this crap.

Bullshit Poker hand showing six cards, 4 of which have "A" for ace. One has an upside down V with a heart under it and diamonds on the card. The sixth card is mushed and unclear. The chips are unrealistic blobs.

So evil kid took a long time coming out of the bedroom as a wolf. We now know why. He took all his clothes off to become a wolf.
