GitHub Copilot privacy in VSCode - here’s what I found
A deep dive into minimizing telemetry, blocking Copilot in sensitive files, and clarifying the real (non-)function of .copilotignore.
good thing the US is gutting beneficial ownership regulations that would make it easier to understand who actually owns US trusts and corporations while simultaneously trashing both crypto enforcement at the DOJ but also more generally cyber defense
"The companies, Blocknovas LLC and Softglide LLC, were set up in the states of #NewMexico and New York using fake personas and addresses."

Automated PR reviews from GitHub CoPilot might be one of the best features it gives. Just found a very stupid mistake that way.
So currently I'm hosting gptel-org-tools on my own forge...
https://git.bajsicki.com/phil/gptel-org-tools
I can't seem to find a good way for people to create issues.
I thought that creating issues via email was a thing with Forgejo, but it appears not.
So here's a poll. Despite my hatred of Microsoft, is it for the best to move the repo to GitHub?
Or is there some way to federate with GitHub users so I don't need to open public sign-ups on my git?
I'm not exactly clear on what the move is here.

We migrated the Pixelix repository to the Ghostbyte organisation account.
This is the new link: https://github.com/ghostbyte-dev/pixelix
Please feel free to tell me if I forgot to update the link anywhere.

Machinet is "a developer of context-aware AI coding assistants with more than 100,000 downloads in the JetBrains ecosystem." You'd be trading one AI for another.

@djm62 Good point.
I can already add anyone's public key on my #GitHub Profile.
That alone is not enough to prove ownership of the key itself.
It only proves that the GitHub account *claims* that is their key.
We'd still need to solve the "this Radicle profile claims to be that GitHub account" to fully link the two.
Fellow #GitHub users ! I need your help!
Context: More and more people are trying out @radicle as a #decentralized #GitHub alternative.
#Radicle has a different identity system than Microsoft's, so when moving projects over to Radicle it is important to know which GH user the Radicle projects belong to.
What would be a way you would use to link your Radicle and GitHub identities?
(Radicle identity is based on #SSH keys, specifically `did:key`).
Boosts for reach - appreciated.
Thanks to @botteaap's #gradle version catalogue update plugin, I now have a replacement for #GitHub #Dependatbot, which means we're on feature parity for our #Forgejo instance 
.
Thanks Hugo

The amount of spam and phishing attempts I receive through my github-only email address is too damn high!
Some of it is directly through github tickets!
The platform itself is annoying me to enable my "github copilot".
Uh, how the heck does one delete an unwanted pasted image from a #Github wiki page?

Anyone here working with #nix and #github actions?
I am not building with nix. Just using nix flakes to have all the tooling installed and services running for local dev.
I want to see if I can get nix devshell cached properly.
But because of the way nix flakes work I dont want my entire repo to end up in public cachix for example...
