My work was careful to explain: if you associate your personal GitHub account with their work org copilot, then they are the ones who manage copilot.

If you wouldn't use your personal email account on your work computer, I don't see why you wouldn't create a new GitHub account only for work.


There have been instances where GitHub has banned users for using an email address from a custom domain. If your account is associated with an enterprise plan the chances of that happening decrease significantly. Also puts you in much better position for recourse

Not private repos.

Now, anything that gets referenced in a copilot chat is fair game


Seems to acknowledge that windows 11 launched without expected features from 10.

Maybe they thought they could get away without taskbar location customisation, but now they have to put that complexity back in.


There's a CLI tool that writes the agent skills into the right folder. The other option would be to have everybody manually unzip a download into a folder which they might not remember.

Jenkins CI has a clever feature where every password it injects will be redacted if printed to stdout; `enveil run` could do that with the wrapped process?

Of course that's only a defense against accidents. Nothing prevents encoding base64 or piping to disk.


This is kind of backwards .

GitHub's privacy statement [1] says > GitHub personnel does not access private repository information without your consent except as provided...

Do you have any evidence that private repos on GitHub are being used for training?

In the opposite case, if you have a public repo on GitHub then you should expect it to be laundered through LLMs :\

Sounds like authentication is working great, but their authorization design may be flawed.


How is it flawed? That is the nature of crowdsourcing.


Maybe you could create a ballot initiative for the next election, that would disband the lobby? See how the people vote.


I think our corporate VPN doesn't send zoom video traffic through the VPN. As you enabled the VPN, you didn't see any dropped frames.

Split tunnelling means the UDP packets just go through the normal internet.


I'd rather you attribute your facts to an LLM vs. rephrase a hallucination that sounds right.
