    Let us git rid of it, angry GitHub users say of forced Copilot features

  • it might work just don't delete your github account, since they have another baclup.

    Just keep it and do a few commits a year at least to make sure your code can't be used.

  • Just accept that it's bad and go somewhere else;

    before leaving github, it is better for them to ensure that their code on github cannot be used to train AI.

    Embrace, Extend, Extinguish

    Microsoft’s Copilot push isn’t strategy, it’s the old embrace, extend, extinguish play dressed up in “AI” robes. GitHub was acquired to embrace developers. Copilot is the extend phase: saturating every workflow with unasked-for AI noise, from issues to pull requests to editors. The extinguish part is already visible - trust in GitHub is collapsing, and the very maintainers who underpin Microsoft’s ecosystem are moving to other platforms.

    On earnings calls, this is presented as “momentum”. In reality, it’s forced adoption: a hostile takeover of developer experience. When customers explicitly ask for an off switch and leadership ignores them, that’s not innovation - it’s managerial negligence. Any competent operator knows that coercion isn’t growth, it’s decay.

    GitHub’s competitive advantage was never a Copilot sidebar, it was trust and network effects. Those are finite assets, and they’re being burned for vanity metrics. The result? A platform that once symbolised collaboration now feels like adware, and developers - the same ones whose code powers Azure and every Microsoft AI demo - are signalling they’re done.

    Shareholders should be asking a simple question: what is the long-term value of poisoning the well you drink from? Copilot may inflate short-term KPIs, but the cost is strategic: erosion of goodwill, flight of open-source projects, and reputational damage that no amount of AI rebranding can fix.

    I agree with the first paragraph, this is just another M$ EEE. Utilizing source codes on github to train their AI to be smarter in coding. So they can promote vibe coding to people with a little or no experience in coding.

  • Google's practice of requiring Gmail addresses for user accounts is illegal, according to a German court ruling. The parent company of GMX and Web.de (Ionos) had filed a lawsuit.

  • No, it depends on where you live. In my country, goolag asks for your phone number. You can't use your other email address to create a goolag account.

  • Google will require developer verification for Android apps outside the Play Store

  • Another excuses from goolag to create their walled garden on Android OS. That means it will be more difficult to install .apk from f-droid or from other sources.

    We desperately need a real open source mobile OS.

  • While I'm very happy to see it, what about Whatsapp users in the EU? Suckerberg knows that this is Meta's strong position, and that's why he insisted on not signing.

  • The biggest problem is that M$ has had upperhand in big corpos and governments for a long time, Active Directory is their weapon.

  • In large companies and governments, these kinds of decisions are made by IT Directors and Politicians and often they are just average users who are not tech savvy.

  • Trump threatens 200pc tariffs on medicine

    Jump

  • Is this one of those things where I go and check where most American drugs are made and it's already the us?

    Just by looking at the value of drug imports to the US, most likely

    Britain exports £8.8bn of pharmaceutical products to the United States and is home to some of the world’s largest drug companies including GSK and AstraZeneca.

    Mr Trump’s drug tariffs would be especially punitive for Ireland, which is responsible for 28pc of America’s imported drugs.

    The country, which exports $66bn worth of pharmaceuticals, has 30,000 people currently employed in plants by US drug companies.

  • Yes, I think it's still a problem

    Even if Gemini App Activity is off, Gemini will still get access to these tools on your mobile phone. So how would the user know which feature setting this applies to and how they can stop this?
