      A glance at their website says that the data is only stored in Europe, though on Azure servers encrypted at rest to which Microsoft holds the encryption keys. That last bit is an absolute deal-breaker for me.

      Zero- knowledge encryption or don’t waste my time. I’m not putting legal/medical/etc docs into the cloud with only a “trust me bro” from the creators of Co-Pilot.

        Ohh, I don’t use their web based application… The compiler is open-source, so I just run it completely offline

        Github repo for reference on how to install the compiler/CLI version

          Great info. Thanks so much! I’m no defender of Word or of Microsoft, so I’m always on the lookout for alternatives, though Libre Office most often suits my rather simple needs.

      I can’t recommend this enough, we have had good, though unfortunately limited, experiences with it at my university so far.
