      I replied this to someone else gonna put it here:

      Kinda a shit take. Canonical is very generous with licensing. They give you 5 free personal licenses per account AND they license per physical host which is practically unheard of now. Like everything is per VM or container or CPUs or sockets etc now. One pro license on an ESXi host could have hundreds of VMs and Canonical is OK with that.

      Source: I work with and use ubuntu pro. Canonical’s alright in my book. More than I can say for the RHEL team

      I don’t know about vim, but emacs does have a clippy package for real. You can even make it be useful if you try hard enough.

    Doesn’t npm have this already? I’ve definitely gotten requests for donations and various political messages when installing dependencies.

    Since this week I get some form of ad in the github diff viewer. “Copilot is available for purchase for you organization”. Horrible.

      Yeah they’ve put them in a couple places, It’s pretty bad. Had to work out how to create a custom uBlock Origin rule to block them.

      there’s a dismiss button under the hamburger menu right next to it, it removes all of these copilot ads permanently.
