I like how in copilot now, I need to consider in vscode whether to accept a tab-complete, because if its coming from copilot it will count against my usage, whereas if it is coming from the ide tools it will not. So I'm like, making individual decisions on whether to type something myself or just "use up" some completion budget. Funny to get nickel and dimed like this by one of the biggest companies in the world.

I was very happy with Copilot but they changed it so it's obviously making me the product bc I'm not paying for it directly anymore.

I started using the local deepseek model I setup a year and half ago but never opened. It's wildly outdated but I really, really like that's it local, it feels different.

I'm now in the process of getting a more updated model running locally and phasing put ChatGPT and unfortunately Copilot too.

Tbh, Steam changed everything - I am actually considering Linux for the first time in my life.
