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

Basically guaranteeing themselves the worst code source.

Unless their goal is to catch common mistakes to improve their code analysis and quick fixes, in which case this plan is secretly brilliant.

From the other comments, it sounds like it's opt-out for the free tier.

[–] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

well, I recommend checking sources before jumping to conclusions.

I didn't jump to any conclusions. It was abundantly clear that what I was writing was hearsay based on secondhand information.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tbf they will just take from people who opted out regardless no? It's not new for companies to do that.

[–] Marand@feddit.dk 1 points 1 day ago

You generalize too much. If you think Jetbrains are likely to take peoples code even though they opted out you should substantiate that.
