GitHub hasn't explicitly stated how it'll use data from the free tier copilot code completion AI account. Let me tell you, they'll use data from you to collect all your code and data to train their shity AI further. Now, most blogs, forums, and many repos are blocking freeloaders like Github/OpenAI/Microsoft LLM bots , so they need more data to train their shity AI. You are the product when it is free ;) Just remember that. It is now your choice
@nixCraft what’s a better alternative to GitHub and Microsoft word? Libreoffice writer is great but doesn’t catch grammatical errors as well.
@alexanderhatkins @nixCraft Codeberg (or Forgejo if you prefer to self-host) is a great FOSS alternative to GitHub
@danwalsh @nixCraft Thanks! I do prefer FOSS and selfhosted.
