So, I'm extremely annoyed at MS these days. Every dang OS update I get some new advertising, etc. Anyway, so I decided to give Copilot (preview) a swing. Now, call me paranoid - I actually believe that corporations collecting data on us is completely out of control - with that said, I cannot run Copilot queries unless I'm logged into my MS account. There can only be one reason for that...

That was previously true for chatGPT too, but I noticed recently that they will let you talk to it without logging in now. At least for me, it doesn't require me to log in at: https://chatgpt.com/[^]
Originally they said that it was so you didn't do crazy things with AI.
So, maybe that is what MS is thinking too?
or, they are tracking you like every other company in the world.
or both. 
Oh, and one reason it is nice that they "track" you is because later you can read over your discussions with AI that you had long ago. It's like a diary of your life.

I suspect you are correct. But this part: "It's like a diary of your life" - I have to laugh. My primary customer has gone full tilt into the MS eco-system. Can you say Teams? So now everyone is sending messages and files and what not over teams. The only problem is that there is NO data retention. Ah well, it's not going to matter much longer.

lol, yeah, I'm going fishing. I'll keep my foot in the water on small projects, but I'm ready to slow down.
what's weird is I cannot get sig changes to stick.

Oh Copilot half baked...
So, I'm fighting with a code base of ancient VC6++ code, trying to lift it to VS2022. I think, wth, I'll try copilot - since MS decided to push it to my computer...
My query: "best practices for migrating a vc6++ project to vs2022?"
The answer: "Sorry, it looks like you've been signed out. Please sign-in again." And yes I'm signed in.
 more half baked crap.

It's gonna get worse too if consumers don't take a stand.

You can run your own ChatGPT-like bot locally with no accounts needed using something like Ollama . Unfortunately, they don't have the code base training that Copilot has though. Not sure how good it'll be at generating code, but maybe worth a try. Thar be a YT video on getting it going too.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Perhaps because these aren't required for an understanding of C++ programming?

Of course those terms aren't in the glossary since those aren't the standard terms. There are base and derived classes that described an inherited relationship. One class A can be a member of another class B. A pointer to class A can be a member of another class B. That's basically it -- you're trying to create a new description to describe a relationship that already has a definition: member.

I'm not good with guidelines and I don't stay within the lines when I color.
They don't call me Picasso they call me Peculiar.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?
