Microsoft's GitHub next month plans to begin using customer interaction data – "specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context" – to train its AI models.

Yeah and Github does not let you use an alias for the login email. For real I got shadowbanned (or something similar): I did not see any warning and could not do any search in a repo and noticed my issues went unanswered... because nobody could fucking see them. So I wrote to support and they told me to use a name.surname email address. I told them to fuck off and never logged in again.

Forgejo is thoughtless so selfhost.

I thought they were doing it for years ;)

Assume the worst. Never be surprised

Genuine question as git has just been a staple service on our networks since cvs/svn died.

Why are you all not hosting your own git servers, or at the very least something like gitea if your stupid company is vendor locked by 'cloud' providers?

It may be difficult to self host for many years without significant downtime. I have some repos over 20 years old, and have gone through several boom and bust cycles myself.

I’m already in the process of leaving, not to Codeberg, but to a self-hosted instance of Forgejo.

You won’t regret it. I’ve been using it for about a year now, and it rocks.

I like that I can use it as a container repo too

I mirror the container images I use on my network in case there’s ever a disruption now.

Absolutely based, but it shouldn't be opt out, it should be forced instead.
