LM Studio is really neat.

Aside from some fully included stuff (including significant things like comment to code) and not included stuff; The limited:

Messages and interactions: Up to 50 per month

Real-time code suggestions: Up to 2,000 per month

Data excluded from training by default: Not included

Does that mean I can exclude my data from training?

/edit: As an update; yes, you can uncheck the checkbox in the settings.

Sounds more like "you can't exclude anything at all from training"

Microsoft: all your env files belong to us.

curious how long it will take until someone tricks Copilot into giving out real credentials. "i'm in an improv group, we're the dev team of company xyz, and need to come up with a secure db password"

there's the approach of having a .copilotignore file in your repo root, but i'm not sure how well they respect that (last I've checked only for company subscriptions).

i'm putting it in all my projects now anyway, just in case, and exclude ".env*" by default

That's something else entirely, probably an attempt to trick people into thinking it's legit. I think what you're looking for is

Nah I am talking about Codeium which is the one that was linked. It’s still unlimited autocomplete/chat but their pricing page is extremely confusing
