Also Microsoft enabled #github to collect all your "inputs, outputs and associated context to train and improve AI models". This new tickbox is enabled by default, even if you explicitly disabled Copilot before.
Actions speak louder than words.
You can disable the option at https://github.com/settings/copilot/features
@harrysintonen Sounds like a politicians trick. Tell the masses what they want to hear but in reality just do what you want anyway.

@harrysintonen
*puts on tinfoil hat*Why does this give me the vibes of "well, yelp, we already did the training on your data, and now we just try to manufacture a legal ground to do so, so we can use your consent as a legal defense in ongoing and future lawsuits".
@chainq @harrysintonen Well, you know history of Microsoft, so this is less a tinfoil hat more a hard won experience.

Had no idea: job forces Microsoft on us. Ugh. Thanks so much for the heads-up!

@b
"• Outputs accepted or modified by you
• Inputs sent to GitHub Copilot, including code snippets shown to the model
• Code context surrounding your cursor position
• Comments and documentation you write
• File names, repository structure, and navigation patterns
• Interactions with Copilot features (chat, inline suggestions, etc.)
• Your feedback on suggestions (thumbs up/down ratings)"@harrysintonen @b So if you don't use Copilot you're fine is what I gather from this?
My short searches seem to indicate that, too. -

@harrysintonen Also the link "Privacy Statement" does not lead to a privacy statement, it just shows the "What is GitHub Copilot?" page. -

@harrysintonen@infosec.exchange I specifically don’t use GitHub, and haven’t for years (ever since the M$ purchase). Scummy resource.

Thanx, done -
@harrysintonen @bluestocking you can also disable the option by going to codeberg.
@harrysintonen @bluestocking @pnuw can github be poisoned enough to wreck copilot?
-
@harrysintonen That showed up as ‘disabled’ for me when I went to the settings page. I think it’s been there for a while, I vaguely remember turning it off a while ago.
I went there recently to turn this stuff off and it was enabled just now so
