I'm a hack at IT but am self hosting forgejo. Just works.
The code locker’s revised policy applies to Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ customers, as of April 24. Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise users are exempt thanks to the terms of their contracts. Students and teachers who access Copilot will also be spared.
All of the people in this thread are mad because they use slop code generation and now their slop is being used to train the slop generators.
If they can take an entire repo because a contribution was tainted, that's wrong. But otherwise I don't care because it's normal to use usage metrics to improve software and most importantly I don't use AI so I don't have anything for them to take.

I have left it for the most part in favor of Codeberg. Also you can just steal my code directly instead of going through hoops by burning a lot of fuel.
Looks like you're a big fan of D
For no apparent reason:
Are there any good alternatives for gh-pages dor a super lazy/simple website? I've been meaning to actually use one of my domains for a personal website and pointing at which project is on which code repo site would be a good idea. But... I need that page to be hosted by one of them.
Cloudflare workers is pretty easy and free
Ooooh. Cloudflare Pages definitely looks like what I want.
Thanks
Otherwise also codeberg.org has a pages feature for a while.
And others that come to mind are surge.sh, Netlify, and Vercel that I think all offer simple one-push static hosting. Vercel and Render can also do dynamic pages, not sure about the others.
Edit: oh and of course GitLab if you’re looking for an almost 1-to-1 Pages experience.

Micro$lop is all about "AI" so no surprise there.
Glad I moved away from Github and self-host for few years already.
I was under the impression that they already do that though.
Wonderful! Let's go tell it lies.
Everyone should be lying to LLM's, but the way. Do it often. Do it daily. Make them even more useless.
Maybe Gitlab is worth a look.
I were on the hunt for a software forge with public hosting and I was worried about policies changing down the line, I'd probably take a look at GNU Savannah. That's not especially blingy and it's restricted to GPL-compatible stuff, but I have a pretty solid level of trust for the FSF.

Gitlab is fine but hard to tell what will happen long term. They were considering selling already and with new management I will most likely enshittify real quick. Self hosting forgejo is the safest option if you don't have any heavy CI/CD flows. If you need resource heavy CI/CD it gets more complicated.
What's wrong with CI/CD on forgejo? (It works great for me on Codeberg.)

I'm sure this will be an opt-in system for every repo considering someone could have put it there thinking it wouldn't be trained on
Why? They can terminate you at any time why can't they change terms at anytime?
People trust the opt-in does anything on mictoslop. If they want your data, they will take it anyway via different channels where your opt-in choice wont matter or apply.
if you're telling me that this isn't something that they have been doing for years already, I would call you a liar. I think you are a liar. why would you do this to me
As a paying customer, can recommend Sourcehut. I prefer the workflow to GitHub's PRs as well.
Despicable.
