    I only use GitHub as a dumb git repo for my GPL- and MIT-licensed projects - and as a place for others to report issues on my projects - and I never see any AI.

    If you don’t use GitHub’s proprietary features for projects that you give away anyway, you end up mooching off of Microsoft’s resources and they don’t get any of the benefits of locking you in, stealing your code (since it’s public to begin with), putting you under heavy corporate surveillance and ramming their AI shit down your throat in return.

    That’s kind of why I host my projects on GitHub, despite my everlasting hatred of everything Microsoft: I get to waste their resources and they don’t have a leg up on me.

    Consider this if you’re in the same situation.
