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.

@pietrodc0 @TheEvilSkeleton Is there a plan to get gnome projects/apps entirely off of github and move them to a foss friendly environment?

@pietrodc0 @TheEvilSkeleton Given that you are a board member, perhaps it should be raised? It would be appreciated.

I am a Foundation Member, not a Board Member. I'll forward your question to some contact but I'm not part of the meetings nor I have vote on this matter, can't promise you anything than a forward nor provide you feedback (as I'm not going to have it either)
