Just put anybody who PRs AI slop to any repo on a big, collaborative blocklist so we can all block them and move on with our lives. They would be PRing AI slop with or without Copilot integrations anyway.

Move to alternatives then, it won't be easy but it'll be worth it.

isn't this typical Microsoft behavior? Just look at Windows and how many components are forced upon you. Try uninstalling it, it just comes right back. Most of it, you can't even uninstall. Some you can't even unpin. That's a monopoly for you. And they steal your documents by making OneDrive the default so they can train their AI. It's malicious.

Is this actually a real problem? Note it says "forced Copilot features" and

> the most popular community discussion in the past 12 months has been a request for a way to block Copilot, the company's AI service, from generating issues and pull requests in code repositories.

but Microsoft doesn't automatically make these issues and PRs. Users have to trigger it.

I mean, I do think you should be able to block the `copilot` user but I looked at this users repos and their most popular one has a total of 3 PRs with no Copilot ones.

I also checked the Rust compiler which is obviously waaaay more popular and it appears to have had zero copilot PRs.

This is very interesting... I've just learned about Codeberg. Does anyone have any info on it?

cant wait for the forced teams integration

Corporate overreach like this happens if most open source developers no longer speak up because they want to be hired or retain their positions. They delude themselves if they think that attitude provides them any security. The opposite is the case: corporations will use the sycophants, secretly laugh about them and fire them if they have served their purpose. As in the case of the Google and Microsoft firings of Python core developers.

I love GitHub copilot.

Seriously just screw Microsoft. Screw their ceo. Blatant parasites
