fwiw I don't feel good about touchHLE's code being on GitHub since it'll get fed into Copilot as training data, but I feel trapped by network effects. I don't know if I'd have gotten half as many contributions if it wasn't on GitHub :(
@hikari you might be able to disable* this: https://github.com/settings/copilot
*y'know, to the extent one trusts this to actually do what it says it will; presumably there's already damage done, but..
@charlotte oh, thanks, I couldn't find the setting when I looked for it earlier. I didn't realise it was account-wide rather than repo-specific
@charlotte wait i don't see this option at all, just ads for copilot. uhhhhhhh
@hikari >:C this is why i hedged with "might". i guses this implies you have to be a copilot user to opt out!? rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
@hikari ... oh. ok. it turns out what they mean by "my code snippets" means something entirely different. https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/configuring-github-copilot/configuring-github-copilot-settings-on-githubcom#enabling-or-disabling-telemetry
@hikari https://github.com/features/copilot/#faq-privacy-copilot-for-individuals (tl;dr they save the copilot request/response unless that's unchecked; doesn't relate to which repos are mined at all)
