the "Why, github?" made me lol, thank you.

That menu is kind of insane though, especially how the useful stuff was clearly moved so you would click on the new stuff by accident.

one of the many reasons I switched to codeberg and my own forgejo instance.

Github is garbage. if you can, get off it.

Microsoft

I love Github Copilot. It fixes all of my spell errors in comments. Totally worth billions of dollars

Because Microsoft

codeberg has the stuff in green but none of the stuff in red :)

Why are you including codespaces in there??? That's a feature I wish more open-source projects made use of. Pristine working dev environments, on demand? Yes please

For-profit will never be for you.

I mostly agree. But would be more nuanced regarding Github Advanced Security.

Most features grouped under "Advanced Security" looks quite useful https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/learning-about-github/about-github-advanced-security Sadly Microsoft has to sneak copilot in there, but the rest of it looks good.

It's probably possible to get most of these features while avoiding copilot by staying away from Github. There are other code hosting platforms, and most support CI pipelines. Scans can be added to pipelines even if those platforms don't support scans out of the box.

GitHub Advanced Security seems useful. AI has successfully found security vulnerabilities that would've otherwise gone undetected, and as a rule of thumb all security vulnerabilities need to be found and patched.
