This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
More distros need to follow. No FOSS should have any relationship to Microsoft or their products.
Jesus, all the pro-AI scum are coming out of the woodwork in force today to try and say this is a bad idea.
Excellent news ! I have been preaching the good word of Codeberg for months, delighted to see it's working.
If I can get NixOS to move, I will be the happiest gal in the world...
Did this few months ago. Everyone should do the same.
Hold on ....
Are you saying all software hosted on github is infected with copilot? Or am I misreading the situation?
I guess it's about copilot scanning the code, submitting PRs, reporting security issues, doing code reviews and such.
Copilot is everywhere and inescapable on any m$ service.
Your confusion is understandable since MS has called like 4 different products “Copilot”. This refers to the coding assistant built into GitHub for everything from CI/CD to coding itself.
All code uploaded to GitHub is subject to being scraped by Copilot to both train and provide inference context to its model(s).
Basically having your code in GitHub is implicit consent to have your code fed to MSs LLMs.
All code uploaded to GitHub is subject to being scraped
No kidding: That was literally my very first thought back in the days when I learned that M$ has taken over GitHub.
(Copilot did not exist then)
Mine too. More precisely: code uploaded to GH won't be yours anymore. IIRC there were changes to the TOS that supported this. But even if not, predicting the obvious doesn't make us prophets.
