Did GitHub Copilot really increase my productivity?
Yuxuan Shui, the developer behind the X11 compositor picom (a fork of Compton) published a blog post detailing their experiences with using GitHub Copilot for a year. I had free access to GitHub Copilot for about a year, I used it, got used to it, and slowly started to take it for granted, until one day it was taken away. I had to re-adapt to a life without Copilot, but it also gave me a chance to look back at how I used Copilot, ... ⌘ Read more

Deeply questionable legality aside, do any of you use Copilot? Has it had any material impact on your programming work? Is its use allowed by your employer, or do you only use it for personal projects at home?
No never and I never will!

As an aside, my opinion on GitHub Copilot is clear – it’s quite possibly the largest case of copyright infringement in human history, and in its current incarnation it should not be allowed to continue to operate. As I wrote over a year ago:

What's that thing called when everyone on a social media platform (hardly matters which one) all post the same sort of thing. It all sounds oh so wonderful, or all so dramatic, everyone claps and cheers and thumbs up or whatever. What's that thing called? There's a term for it hmmm 🧐

Follow-up question:
What do we call it when you get to engage in discussion over topics you find in these “filter bubbles” with a different viewpoint, only to be shot down, overridden, or met with other arguments that support the existing “filter bubble”’s state?

Consequently, users become separated from information that disagrees with their viewpoints, effectively isolating them in their own cultural or ideological bubbles, resulting in a limited and customized view of the world.

TikTok Sues US Government Over Law Forcing Sale or Ban
Less than two weeks after President Biden signed a bill that will force TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the popular social media app or face a ban in the United States, TikTok said it sued the federal government on Tuesday, arguing the law was unconstitutional. From a report: TikTok said that the law violated the First Amendment by effectively removing an ... ⌘ Read more

ralphtheninja/open-funding: A guide for researching ways of funding open source projects. very useful set of resources that ayn help fund open projects 🤔
👋 Let’s crowdsource a submission for the Internet Freedom Fund 🤞 Please help me fill out all the TBD sections… 🙏
Apparently there are some ~30 users (real people) that actively use my pod twtxt.net 😳 in the past 90 days. 😅 The question I have is; what can we do as a small community here? 🤔 We have an Open Collective; but it doesn’t receive enough funds to be useful enough (yet?) to pay for small projects and continuous improvements.
What else can we do? 🤔
Additionally there are 7 other pods online too 😅 But not sure of their stats…
