  • I like and been using JetBrains IDEs for years now,
    and am/was happily paying for a good product.

    However I feel like they’ve been going backwards in the last year or 2,
    it feels less premium,
    and more like your a paying beta tester,
    since lately I deal with bugs in their IDEs too often to my liking.

    But this news kinda scares me,
    usually if something is free,
    then you are the product,
    paying with your data.

    Which I can see happen to these IDEs now :/
    Especially in this day and age where massive data collection by big tech is sadly normalized, and where coding data likely is wanted to be trained upon by AI companies with the current ongoing hype bubble and all.

    If that would start to happen to JetBrains products, I fear for enshitiffication in the forms of:

    • Losing your privacy
    • Leaking company secrets

    And further once the AI bubble pops,
    which will lead to less demand for data,
    since there will be less companies.

    Wayland might be the future,
    but today we’re still living in the present…

    I was a fan, and tried Wayland,
    but it took less then 24hrs before I switched back to X.

    Just too many random bugs remain in Wayland rn…

    E.g:

    • Grayed out screen under HDR
    • LookingGlass unable to boot in fullscreen
    • Some program icons replaced with Wayland icon when running
