Heads up GitHub users. You have less than a month left to opt out of "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training".

"On April 24 we'll start using GitHub Copilot interaction data for AI model training unless you opt out." github.com/settings/copilot/fe

in reply to LĂȘ FĂȘ is back

there is a blog post with some details about it here:
github.blog/news-insights/comp

specifically:

"This program does not use:
  • Interaction data from Copilot Business, Copilot Enterprise, or enterprise-owned repositories
  • Interaction data from users who opt out of model training in their Copilot settings
  • Content from your issues, discussions, or private repositories at rest. We use the phrase “at rest” deliberately because Copilot does process code from private repositories when you are actively using Copilot. This interaction data is required to run the service and could be used for model training unless you opt out.

also to comment on @dalias 's earlier answer (same source):

"From April 24 onward, interaction data—specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context—from Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ users will be used to train and improve our AI models unless they opt out."


-> I believe this means if you are not part of these Copilot user groups then, indeed, they do not use your data to train Copilot.. for now at least..

@byteborg @cstross
is Codeberg much different from Github in terms of functions, interface etc.? I mostly mean, is it as easy / convenient to use?
anyone knows if there is a version of github desktop for Codeberg?

#GithubDesktop #Codeberg #Github

@elduvelle Codeberg is much simpler. I mpstly use command line git. Check the docs at codeberg.org, perhaps you'll find what you need.

@elduvelle @byteborg @cstross Codeberg is very similar to GitHub, whereas GitLab feels disorienting in terms of UI
