Thank you @harrysintonen for making me aware #github #copilot
@sethmlarson Thanks for posting this! Where have you managed to leave feedback, as per the final bullet point? I don't see anywhere appropriate ...
@sethmlarson @harrysintonen why do you want to disable it?
@sethmlarson @harrysintonen 2 notes:
* This links goes directly where you should go: https://github.com/settings/copilot
* The setting is now show as:
Visibility
Show Copilot
Enable Copilot for all GitHub features, including navigation bar, search, and dashboard. When disabled, Copilot will be hidden and unavailable. [Disabled]
@mdione @harrysintonen Unfortunately our accounts might have different UIs. GitHub "gifts" Copilot automatically to open source maintainers, and you can't refuse this "gift" in any way.
@cadid @harrysintonen I never signed up for the feature or had any interest in using it, GitHub is just pushing it on everyone regardless of interest.
I keep receiving emails reminding me that they are "gifting" me a subscription to Copilot, there is no way to refuse this "gift".
The home screen used to be 1/3 a Copilot prompt with completely unrelated example prompts (Why would I want to see anything w/ React? I have never interacted with that project!)
@jonathanmatthews If you go to GitHub Copilot itself (https://github.com/copilot) there's a (...) menu in the top-right with a feedback option. Annoyingly I can't link directly to it.
@sethmlarson I think that might only be present somewhere beyond the "free signup" page ... which I've thankfully never completed :-)
@jonathanmatthews Ah lucky you, they "gift" Copilot access to some open source folks (and keep emailing me to remind me of this gift I can't refuse). Maybe there is another place you can send feedback.
