Gemini also won't help you with C++ if you are under 18, since it would be unsafe. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39632959
Is it still true? That's two years old

I wish my GPL license would transit along with my code.
I said it few years back that code license doesn't exist anymore, some people just haven't realized it yet.
Nowadays, It genuinely feels a lot less because there are now services who will re-write the code to prevent the license.
Previously, I used to still think that somewhat non propreitory licenses like the SSPL license etc. might be interesting approaches but I feel like they aren't that much prone to this either now anymore.
So now I am not exactly sure.

It is not opt-in by default for business users. The feature flag doesn't show in org policies and github states that it's not scoped to business users.
Gah - you’re right - but given that I don’t use personal copilot - but I do manage an organisation that gives copilot to some of our developers AND I was sent an email this evening making no mention at all of business copilot being excluded it could definitely have been communicated better…

If you scroll down to "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training" in GitHub settings, you can enable or disable it. However, what really gets me is how they pitch it like it’s some kind of user-facing feature: Enabled = You will have access to the feature Disabled = You won't have access to the feature As if handing over your data for free is a perk. Kinda hilarious.
I agree that it feels like a dart pattern for the most part, makes me want to use codeberg/self hosted git
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Codeberg doesn't support non OSS and I'd rather just have one 'git' thing I have to know for both OSS and private work. So it's not a great option, IMO. Self-hosting also for other reasons. I'm not sure there are any good GitHub alternatives. I don't trust Gitlab either. Their landing page title currently starts with "Finally, AI". Eek.
Maybe sourcehut? https://sourcehut.org
What is the legal basis of this in the EU? Ignoring the fact they could end up stealing IP, it seems like the collected information could easily contain PII, and consent would have to be > freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. In order to obtain freely given consent, it must be given on a voluntary basis.
While some think this applies only to personal data, then yes. But it takes only one line of code to use my phone number for testing while I test locally a register form in the application I'm developing.
Once it gets sent to Copilot I can threaten with legal action if they are not taking it down.
Fun fact: Copilot gives you no way to ignore sensitive files with API keys, passwords, DB credentials, etc.: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/11254#discussi... So by default you send all this to Microsoft by opening your IDE.

Fun fact: you shouldn't have sensitive files with API keys, passwords, DB credentials, etc. in your repo
> On April 24 we'll start using GitHub Copilot interaction data for AI model training unless you opt out. Review this update and manage your preferences in your GitHub account settings. Now "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training" is enabled by default. Turn it off here: https://github.com/settings/copilot/features Do they have this set on business accounts also by default? If so, this is really shady.

My email does mention it clearly: > Again, your organization's Copilot interaction data is not included in model training under this new policy, but we are excited for you to enjoy the product improvements it will unlock.
