Microsoft will start officially training AI on GitHub projects this month if developers don’t opt out, I don’t know if DC maintainers are aware about this or did already opt out or if they have a plan to migrate to a more trustworthy and reliable platform. There are also other issues with GitHub wh…

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…

It might also be a better translation platform, but same problem: [image] Moving translations from Transifex to Weblate Mutual Help Hello, I noticed that the Android metadata is localised in Weblate, but the app itself on Transifex. I’d both like to ask why w…

Indeed, the original poster probably only asked the GitHub repo owners to disable the toggle on your screenshot. And indeed abusers already violate content everywhere on the web, however content served with tdm reservation metadata is already considered a form of protection (definitely from a legal…

Github already admitted to training on all repositories, apparently: [Screenshot_20260405_201740] The common opinion seems to be, if you don’t want to get to be funnelled into the Co-Pilot sloppening then you should probably delete and move your GitHub repositories elsewhere. (I’m not saying that…

Deleting GitHub repositories is also unlikely to prevent your code from being added to datasets, someone will mirror your code to GitHub anyway and datasets likely include all the source tarballs of major Linux distributions regardless of where the source code is hosted.

Sure, but perhaps it could increase your chances in multiple ways. E.g. you’re no longer agreeing to the Github Terms of Use in regards to your latest code.

Thanks for your answers. What about projecting a migration splitted in steps? First moving repositories with minimal CI … and keeping to the last those repositories heaviest to migrate. For the simplest repositories it should not have so much cost, as I could migrate some of my repositories throug…

It might also be a better translation platform, but same problem:

It would be great if there were a FOSS team dedicated to assisting with such transitions!
