  • I would be careful with some of these providers depending on your usage.
    You are potentially sending a ton of info to them…

    I have access to Bing Chat Enterprise through my company, and only because its the Enterprise version i am half confident in using it with more restrictive data.
    Though the frontend of copilot is so heavy and sucks, so i have a proxy for GPT-API to Bing Chat.
    Had hoped GPT4All Bing provider would support login, but sadly not, so essentially had to reimplement it all myself.









  • Copilot is weird and can give out very weird responses that have little to do with your conversations.

    And of course it might just grab context depending on what you do (e.g. clicking the copilot button might already do that).

    I found it works best as GPT model if you disable the fancy stuff like search. It too easily looses track of what happened or completly goes off the rails.
    (i believe disabling search is a beta feature in some regions, but its a hidden flag you can theoretically set, i made a tampermonkey script to add a button).

    I hate the slow UI of Copilot, so i translate requests from a different GPT interface.




  • Its nice to meet the team, start nornal conversations not necessarily bound by work.
    Getting to know the people in a way video calls rarely can fscilitate.
    BUT how often depends on the team, the distances, the company, and most importantly how often this happens.

    I really like my WFH, but its not a full WFH job, so we meet for important events like sprint planning every few weeks.
    But thats only 1-2 hours away and most of the commute is long distance train, so i can work that time and still get paid.
    Its nice seeing the team and other people in the company i would have never seen, it could be a bit less for me, maybe once a month would be better…

    I also think many people only have their work colleagues as contact and little real friends to meet with outside of work… after all one is paid and theother time you have to maintain your life constantly.



  • Better quality releases and more active users with much less leeches as they get thrown out.
    Though there are many site admins with some complex here too… your experience can vary.

    And of course you need to contribute to the community, most trackers will grant you buffer for both uploading and keeping the torrent running. You want something, then you have to give back.
    If the tracker doesnt give possebilities to build your buffer in multiple ways, other than just uploading, its usually a shit tracker.
    And some are just super hard to impossible to get into. Start small, wait for open signups or just go to new trackers, they might get bigger over time.
    Dont publicly beg for invites, you can humiliate yourself in private chats if you are into that.
