The internet's reaction to this has been so silly.
Jetbrains has for a long time included a set of optional plugins that are disabled by default and make HTTP calls to Jetbrains servers:
- Spaces
- Code With Me
- Shared Indexes
- their plugin authoring plugin
- (probably more I'm forgetting)
Now they released plugin #5+, that is also disabled by default, and also requires you to take a series of several explicit steps before you can enable it and use it, but this time everyone loses their minds? I feel bad for the engineers there.
