don't get the negativity towards copilot in other comments.
it's a really smart autocomplete, and this is exactly what i wanted for the past 5 years.
(yeah it's not going to replace programmers or whatever people's exaggerated opinions of it are)

wanna quickly create a wgpu bind group?
let texture_bind_group = <tab> <tab> and it's smart enough to understand the context and pull in texture and texture sampler that are already defined as local variables.

too lazy to type this obvious thing in?
(like of course the next opcode islet op = self.fetch();) just press tab and move on with your life.

wanna quickly refactor something?
select, ask CP Chat to "replace all if statements with match", check if it's correct and click confirm (it will even show git-style diffs, so it's hard for something unexpected to slip in)

it's not perfect, and it's suggestions do not match your intention like 50% of the time but when they do match or your intention is REALLY obvious (like you already wrote a clear and concise variable name and need to complete the value), you're a single keypress away from completing those 2 lines of code

It's not a total deal breaker but it's definitely very useful. (especially for me, because of my very short attention span. unless i can quickly complete a thing I'm currently working on in less than a minute i will forget about the next 10 things I was thinking of doing)

also i don't believe the price is justified, but it's free for students so of course I'm gonna use it.

(you just need to verify your student email and upload a photo of your student id on education.github.com, and you get a free gh copilot subscription, gh pro account, priority support and promos on loads of services like heroku etc while you're a student)

there are detailed changelogs for almost every single KB on Microsoft's website

to be fair, the free "review" keys often end up on websites like g2a and kinguin, so if I were to publish a game on Steam, I would've replied with the same thing to anyone asking me for 'em.... the guy's based af

your fault for using a DE/distro which can't even handle fractional scaling

what the fuck is a lunch debt???

well it has been deprecated for a few years, and they're basically asking you to play for continued support.
they have a new REST api, but you still need the old one, pay up because otherwise there's no motivation to keep it around.

no, they probably dont.
they just send it to your email upon registration, which is kinda a bad idea, but they are probably storing passwords hashed afterwards.

well it's referencing this article now

tomatoes are awesome tho

you can try this

https://github.com/williamtcastro/carthing-non-premium-spotify

the whole ui/dashboard is just a web app, so it's pretty easy to "jailbreak" or modify

they do collect usage stats by default though.
which include typed sentences passed through their ai model and words usage counts.
it can all be turned off and gboard seems to respect these options. it doesn't access online services unless requested with these options off.
