    It's still going but I think a good chunk of the FOSS community avoids it. Distros that still ships it disable the telemetry.

    Definitely feels like the desperate attempts to monetize it, and the enshittification that typically arises next.

    As far as I know it's still fine to use if your distro disables the telemetry, which is what most people had issues with. It's still under the same license in the end, which is probably why they're now pivoting to cloud features: that they can make proprietary. I'm sure cloud-based AI plugins are next.
