Microsoft training AI on GitHub code [please opt out in repo settings]

thank you for the pointer.

wrt censorship: i agree in general, however, it is also true, that github is available in cuba. where eg. gitlab, often praised as being more open, is not. reason is that microsoft took the effort to get an exception to bypass the embargo. microsoft may have shady reasons for that and may act differently in other countries, sure. and one can switch to a non-us hosted service, also true,

anyways, in general, most, if not all Delta Chat developers, including me, are critical of github since quite some time.

however, migration comes at quite some costs, there is lots of CI involved that needs to be migrated. this is lots of work, easily for weeks, until everything is fine. as we do not have additional resources to do the migration, these resources will be missing in Delta Chat and chatmail development. so timing is critical here.

note, that we’re using eg. codeberg for webxdc developments already today. and we’re also donating already today an amount of money yearly to codeberg.
