Why are they focusing on privacy now though? It's always been private.
Probably to position themselves in relation to Microsoft offerings eager to siphon as much user data as possible for their own ratty "AI" and passing the rest off to third parties?
Yes but why now exactly? The only reason I see is GitHub but it's not their competitor at all.
Oh, there's a huge push to use Copilot in the entire Microsoft office suite now. My workplace is going all in on the damn thing, and I'm sure LibreOffice are also trying to nap some users as the next Windows version looms.
