You just got forced into data collection on GitHub.

@Aurimas What the actual hell. Thanks!

[msfjarvis@androiddev.social]

@britter @Aurimas it's because of this: https://androiddev.social/@msfjarvis/116291712251904064

@britter @Aurimas Yay, EU data protection laws.

@Aurimas From context, it seems to be about AI usage only, but with MSFT you never know how they’ll spin it, so probably a good idea

[heathborders@hachyderm.io]

@Aurimas thanks. I turned it off and disabled copilot

[mewsleah@meow.social]

@msfjarvis @britter @Aurimas i've never used copilot, i have its visibility disabled, and i still found i'd been opted in. so everyone has to check.

@Aurimas Thanks for the heads up.

[mvilain@sfba.social]

@Aurimas Thank you for posting that link. I removed everything from github some months ago when the former CEO resigned and Microslop took over. Codeberg.org is serving me just fine.

Meanwhile, it's nice to turn this shit off, just in case.

@Aurimas The drop down is also very disingenuous: Getting your data stolen is a feature now.

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@Aurimas Is this a thing if you don't use Copylot? I don't want to get opted into it trying to opt out of something that's not even there if I'm not using it.

[aurimas@androiddev.social]

@dalias copilot is on by default too as far as I can tell. I had to turn it off.

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@Aurimas I'm pretty sure it's not for me. I rejected it way back when it was first introduced.

[vank@mastodon.nl]

@Aurimas for me this was the drop to delete my account and switch to codeberg.

[gytisrepecka@social.gyt.is]

@Aurimas Or even better - ditch GitHub for good
