Mine too. More precisely: code uploaded to GH won't be yours anymore. IIRC there were changes to the TOS that supported this. But even if not, predicting the obvious doesn't make us prophets.

FAQs are not legally binding. If you want to quote something, then do privacy policy and terms of service.

Just to add to what the other commenters said, the quote you highlighted doesn't even say what you think it does.

It says that Copilot data is not used to train the models, not that code uploaded to Github isn't used to train the models.

As an aside, your nitpicking of the term "scrape" and rant about how the user you're replying to must be ignorant is cringe, jsyk.

Oh my. The “you are all noobs, I am the only techie here, so I know it” argument is so unnecessary and makes you appear super entitled.

You obviously seem not to have an idea how all that shit works, where OpenAI and Microsoft scrape copyrighted material, which is illegal, to train their models. On top of that, in the US there are many laws where they can circumvent ToS if it helps national security, and we all know with Trump, that he will do everything to support his economy. So we end up with a situation, where the contracts say they will not use the data to train models, while doing this exact thing, and nobody ever will be able to prove it and the whole legal system in the US will protect the corporation. So good luck with that “lawsuit”.

But that is only when Microsoft would play by rules, which they don’t. Which no one does. So they just use the data to train the models, generating billions of value, and just wait for a lawsuit where they pay a fine of 100k.

This all comes to the conclusion that you are not just naive and inexperienced, but also an entitled asshole.

If you're gullible enough to believe an FAQ coming from Github themselves, then I have bad news for you.

Like Meta and it's privacy rules, I bet they do even if they're saying they don't.

Lmao desperately trying to justify sunk cost, I see?

You’re right, it’s not scraping, it’s worse. Most AI bots do scrape sites for data, though since MS has direct access to the GH backend, they don’t even need to scrape the data. You’re giving it to them directly.

The issue here is trust. Microsoft, along with every other company invested in the AI race has proven repeatedly that getting ahead in said race is more important to them than anything else. It’s more important than user privacy, ToS, contracts, intellectual property, and the law itself.

If they stand to make more money screwing you over than they stand to lose from a slap on the wrist in court, the choice is clear. And they will lie to your face about it. Profit machines as big as MS don’t care. They can’t. They are optimized for one thing.

Someday when you’re grown up you will realize how cringe your way of communicating is.

The long update has the advantage of providing an opportunity to touch grass.

Gentoo does not have always the latest builds, not by default.

Updates depend on your amount of packages, hardware, and willingness to utilize that hardware for compiling.

I don't use DE, just dwm+dmenu, so my biggest packages are Firefox and LibreOffice, which can take 3+ hours with dependencies. KDE or Gnome would most likely add more.

But you can put number of cores for compiling into config. If you have your PC on most of the day, you can set it to 1 or 2 and you most likely won't even know about it.

Or, if you have 16 core CPU, let 14 do the compiling and you can browse the web with the remaining two.

This all assumes you have enough RAM as well. It's not as bad, but you should have at least 32GB.

The distro is smooth, way more than anything I've ever tried, and I'm not switching from it.

Here, you dropped your 'I use arch, btw'
