We should all get used to no longer saying "GitHub" but "Microsoft AI GitHub" just so it's clearer where your code lies and for what purpose.

@tante just do what Microslop want and call it Copilot.

Don't worry about the people confusing the Copilot letter writer or Copilot numbers columns with the Copilot code hoard, Copilot will help them figure out which one is which.

People should leave GitHub and move to CodeBerg — It is GIT, but in Germany, Europe, for better digital sovereignty, privacy, and no AI.

@NetscapeNavigator @tante Or SourceHut (now in the Netherlands)

And (perhaps) (also) go self-host?

So many possibilities!

Show threadLenFeb 11

@NetscapeNavigator open source only, though.

Great if that's appropriate for your use case (I just used it for Global Game Jam) but not universally applicable.

Show threadNetscape NavigatorFeb 11

@Hyperlynx

If you're not producing something open source, there is always Forgejo -- That's CodeBerg, but self-hosted, which means you can run anything you like.

Show threadLenFeb 11
@NetscapeNavigator indeed, if self-hosting is viable.
Show threadNetscape NavigatorFeb 11

@Hyperlynx

You're looking for your cake and eat it too. That is no longer possible. You either accept that both GitHub and GitLab now use AI and no longer care about your privacy, or you choose something else.

Show threadLenFeb 11

@NetscapeNavigator you're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say a damn thing about Gitlab or Github.

As it happens, I pulled all of my stuff off there a while back, and recently settled on Bitbucket for private usage, as I considered their AI policy reasonable (ie they swear not to use your code to train AI).

I'm merely pointing out that there are no simple solutions, and merely saying "use Codeberg" or "host it yourself" are not one-size-fits-all solutions.

Show threadSean MiddleditchFeb 16

@Hyperlynx @NetscapeNavigator There's also options like worktree.ca, which is running on a heavily modified fork of gitea. Private repos are supported, there's free and paid repos, GHA-compatible CI/CD, etc.

All hosted in Canada. They're working towards running purely on "sovereign" infrastructure without any foreign/US-owned cloud providers, too, if that matters to you.

Show threadtxtx 🇪🇺Feb 11

@tante I've been wondering if it'd be helpful to make a bunch of false commits with misleading junk code on all my repos there, to "help" train their models.

I could simply remove all the code but they'll still use it in the future. I'd rather not have them benefit this way.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Is there some trick to make this simpler and faster (I have many projects on there).
