Just got this from Microslop GitHub:

> We're updating how GitHub uses data to improve AI-powered coding tools. From April 24 onward, your interactions with GitHub Copilot—including inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context—may be used to train and enhance AI models unless you opt out.

I barely ever use GitHub. When I do, it's when I am forced to because some project I rely on only uses GitHub.

If your project is only using GitHub, please consider migrating.

@rysiek I'm all for migrating off GitHub, but this looks like an odd item to peg it on: From your description, it only affect usage that is *already* using Copilot, and frankly, if I were using anyone's AI tools, I'd be surprised if it was *not* using its users for data collection.

@chrysn I have been banging the drum of leaving GitHub for years. This is just one more reason to do so. The whole "we're changing the rules, you can opt out" is abusive in and of itself.

@rysiek @chrysn I just double-checked my account and I was opted in. I'm pretty sure I opted out when they first introduced it.
