Snarky side quest, for anyone who's up to it:

Write a crawler to seek out every #GPL-licensed project on #GitHub, and submit an issue to each one stating that hosting on GitHub is not compatible with the GPL, since the code will be scraped and used to build #CoPilot crap.

@spinglass nodds in agreement

Whilst I use #GitHub for @OS1337, I don't use #GithubActions and it can be all done completely airgapped (merely depending on your ability to get sources & toolchain on your device and follow documentation.

• And I think #ReproduceableBuilds and a truly "#SelfHosting"-capable system is necessary of you want it to be real #FLOSS that is actually working!

But then again I'm not deploying some 3rd tier esolang.

Loudly shouting at #Microsoft to stop forcing "AI" on #GitHub users might lead to some sort of success. Until the next shiny thing comes along.

I took stock, understood what is really happening, that you are accepting to be locked in to a walled garden that you do not control.

So I silently packed up my stuff a while ago and moved to a place and community that accepts, respects and defends my freedom. My repos have moved to #codeberg, I am running my own #forgejo instance and build runners.

@Codeberg I'd propably at some point do #SelfHosting and merely continue to leech #bandwith and #storage from #GitHub until they axe that!

While procrastinating something, I noticed a wave of script kiddie traffic with a browser ID string matching a Github hosted "security scanning" project, but one without contact info. #github #security #scriptkiddies

Should I

#github rss feeds are starting to be nonsense. I wonder if they rewrote it with #ai. Here, the order of the repos in the title is different than in the summary and you're left wondering what actually happened.

#codeberg and #forgejo to #Github is just like #Fediverse to #Facebook or #Twitter. Real communities, where real people interact, share and discuss, not really caring about "reach", likes and how many followers, but places where we are far more interested in p2p in the real sense. People to People. Not People feeding Machines.

Sure, it's a comparably smaller group, but only when you compare it to what it doesn't aim to replace. I like it here, because it's different :)
