↳ In-reply-to » 🤔 👋 Reconsidering moving Yarn.social's development back to Github: Speaking of which (I do not forget); @fastidious and I were discussing over a video call two nights ago, as well as @lyse who joined a bit later, about the the whole moved of all of my projects and their source code off of Github. Whilst some folks do understand and appreciate my utter disgust over what Microsoft and Copilot did by blatantly scraping open source software's codebases without even so much as any attempt at attribution or respecting the licenes of many (if not all?) open source projects.

They are fair points.

It could be one of these situations similar to how a privacy advocate might upload videos to YouTube - sheer audience, exposure etc. A small sacrifice to one’s personal morals in order to get the most reach and hopefully have a net positive effect.

That said, it would sure be nice if Copilot could be opted out of…
