Given GitHub's hostile push for AI, I desperately want to move Bottles's code to GNOME GitLab and keep the Codeberg mirror up.

I'm legit so fucking tired of it. It makes it hard for me to develop Bottles without Copilot spams demotivating me. Their hostile push has gotten like Discord where everything is Nitro COPILOT THIS Nitro COPILOT THAT. I'm stuck here playing the opposite of Where's Wally: as in "try not to find any mentions of Copilot".

It's been bothering me so much that it has become more and more difficult to contribute to projects hosted on GitHub. I also get uncomfortable when I contribute to software mirrored to GitHub, which includes GNOME apps.

@TheEvilSkeleton Copilot is disabled at org level in Bottles. Both for the "Coding agent" and general "Access". What you see in the issues sidebar is a kind of advertisement suggesting you to try it but is not kicking in if you are not requesting it.

I would like to know more about the sentence «Copilot spams demotivating me», could you make an example of what Copilot does?
I'm honestly interested in understand more.

You can now ask Copilot to open issues for you on repositories, it doesn't check for duplicates and it tries to write more rather than less about something it doesn't understand.

Better yet, it will look like it was opened by the user, so before you read it, you can't known whether it was written by Copilot or not.

This is just a huge waste of time for developers, and it's just another step Microsoft makes in the enshittification of GitHub.

@monster @pietrodc0 @TheEvilSkeleton is there an easy way to detect such issues and close them with a comment to submit again without copilot?

@lw64 @pietrodc0 @TheEvilSkeleton AFAIK no, which is terrible.
