Copilot is great, but a hundred bucks for what is basically a smart autocomplete seems a bit much - mostly, I hate the fact that the code is constantly transmitted to github (my repos are mostly local) - are there any reasonably convenient options for doing this without github looking over my shoulder all the time? I'm using VSCode but not wedded to it.

Codeium is the best alternative I know of that is also more respecting of privacy.

thanks! This also looks like a viable replacement for copilot and per their pricing info Individual users get free forever access to Codeium.

Also plugs into VSCode and based on their demo it seems pretty slick and should be a good replacement.
