Coming soon - your org’s code powering every competitors products.

Looks like you can turn it "off" under the copilot section of your github preferences.

Until they add a new AI feature enabled by default or secretly turn it back on

Under coding agent I also changed "Repository access" to "No access"

Do not trust that opt-out will function.

I dropped off LinkedIn when MS bought it. I dropped off github when MS bought it.
I stand by these decisions.

@GossiTheDog another microslop classic!

@GossiTheDog i mean they probably won't be winning in this deal.
Our code is shockingly worse than what the average saas company produces.

Hopefully, Ubuntu also.

@GossiTheDog This is your daily reminder that you are the product

@SpaceLifeForm @GossiTheDog

I try to avoid snap or flatpak anything

[drwho@masto.hackers.town]

@GossiTheDog Already does. Scripts that go through and delete copyright on source code files have been a thing for twenty years and counting.

@GossiTheDog Orgs that should care wont care because they use other orgs code too. All up until no new code is actually created.

I suspect existing code will eventually get mutated into something inefficient or ineffective.

Hmm, sounds a lot like cancer.

@GossiTheDog Who didn't see this coming? I kinda figured it was already happening.

[loke@functional.cafe]

@0x0ddc0ffee @GossiTheDog what even are copliot interactions? They call everything copilot.

I already felt icky on the rare occasions when I had to use github. But, just like all the other products where freer, less exoitative versions exist, people will just keep using them. Discord, reddit, blue fucking sky, windows, the entire god forsaken apple ecosystem.

[enjoyingkink@mstdn.social]

@mxfraud @GossiTheDog Just my thought. Passively sabotaging the competitors was never this easy...

I spent yesterday migrating my stuff from github to codeberg and I'm not coming back.
