Bro, I dont dig this either, but the title is a bit misleading. What they said (and they have been pretty transpartent about it: banner on the site plus email if you have an account) is that they will train their Copilot models from the user interactions with copilot, and you can opt-out.

Now, I know the importance of defaults, but we are talking about Github, a platform for developers, I would REALLY assume these are the people that REALLY are able to toggle a setting to their preference, especially when they have been properly informed about it.

Let’s try to save the indignment for when it is justified, this was not executed in a shady way, I would much rather Microsoft do any policy change this way.

At least thats my opinion lol
