OOTL here. What did they do? Can't find anything obvious on their News or Releases tabs.
if you pay you can opt-in to share your code
if you use free version you can opt-in to share your code.
if you are entitled to using a paid version for free (e. g. students, educators) you can opt-out of sharing your code.
EDIT: I was wrong, you CAN out out in the last case, which makes the meme even more stupid
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.
thank you, I will correct all my comments regarding this

Yeah... I slowly stopped using it and am just using vim, and getting docs from sources.

I think I'd be liable if my code made it through to a LLM
The thought of that is so funny. Not the company that stole the code gets held accountable, but instead the poor schmuck they stole it from to make their AI. Actually this would not even surprise me all that much.
JB is cooked
Is it time to go back to the plugin-hell called Eclipse?
Well if you want a real world comparison:
We migrated a project a few years ago from Eclipse to IntelliJ. Outcome:
- Complains about the IDE dropped from around 10 per day to nearly 0
- Onboarding people now takes 1h instead of a day, because IntelliJ knows how to store configuration in a project
- IntelliJ has a built in updater and nearly everything works after an update
- IDE Fuckups: 1 per week (Eclipse) -> 1 per year (IntelliJ)
- Somehow still happend? Just click "Delete caches and restart" in IntelliJ
- No sources and javadoc for a library available? Eclipse: Have fun reading bytecode; IntelliJ: Yeah I just decompiled it for you within 10s
So yeah I wouldn't recommend going back into hell. Even VSCode and it's forks are likely better at this point.
It is NEVER time to go back to the hell that is Eclipse.
Go to frigging notepad or kedit before Eclipse.
