If you, like me, are incredibly excited by this wonderful news, know that —at least for now— you can disable all this #Copilot crap by visiting https://github.com/settings/copilot and switching all the options to Disabled/Blocked. Perhaps especially the on-by-default "Allow GitHub to use my data for product improvements" one.
Thanks to #GitHub for reminding me how glad I am for #SelfHosting my own #Gitea #Git #Forge. If you're not already, maybe consider it or a (partial) move to #Codeberg too. It's great!

Spent a bit of time playing with https://github.com/copilot-emacs/copilot.el Works OK, but I ran into many indentation issues (the completions appear with some offset). It's a bit surprising that such an useful package is not getting more love. I filed a few small PR -that's how you know I tried some package.

I got interested in Copilot only recently - when it became free for some limitted use.

You may want to disable all #VSCode Chat features.

Use query "@feature:chat Enabled" to disable:
chat.agent.enabled
chat.commandCenter.enabled
chat.detectParticipant.enabled
chat.experimental.statusIndicator.enabled

I hadn't talked with Jason Gumpert from MSDynamicsWorld since my CRM days. So, I grabbed the mic and recorded a podcast session covering topics like:

CRM -> low-code transition
Life after MVP program
Licensing demons
Copilot hype/hope
Security of GenAI

Copilot-Schwemme

Wie oft kommt Copilot auf diesem Bildschirm vor?

Irgendwo in den OKR von Microsoft steht wohl "Copilot über alles". Microsoft Office auf dem Smartphone heißt nun Microsoft Copilot 365, in Edge ist Copilot drin, in Word und Powerpoint und Excel und OneNote und OneDrive, in Microsoft Paint und in Microsoft Notepad. Auf der Tastatur von Copilot+ PCs gibt es extra eine Taste, auf die man manchmal unvorsichtigerw

Leetle Microsofties buzzing around your network, eating the baddies? I dunnooooo.

when #copilot leaks a little bit of its training data..

Danke, Microsoft Copilot! Was würde ich nur ohne deine überbordende Intelligenz tun!?

Outlook greeted me with a new AI feature this morning, Copilot is now integrated into the email client!

I'm expecting even more bland looking, impersonal emails from this. Microsoft, please prove me wrong!

Asking #copilot if I can do X with including Y in dotnet. And get a reply of
'yes, here's the <code I, myself, just wrote to test>".
But I get an error if I do this.
'Yes, you just need to include Y'

/facedesk

I find documentation, and quality blogs increasingly difficult to come by for solving dotnet issues. And then you run into the meme of finding a post with the same issues from years ago (in old versions) without any significant answers..... TGIF

AI Tools Are Changing How We Code—Fast

You don’t have to wait to catch up.

Whether you're a Java or C# developer, learning how to actually use Copilot and ChatGPT in your real projects can save you hours—and help you avoid the worst AI-generated bugs.

My upcoming O’Reilly class is full of practical, hands-on examples of how experienced developers use AI to write better code, faster.

»AI Chatbots Can Become Easy Prey for 'Zero-Knowledge' Hackers:
AI may be ushering in a new breed of malicious threat actors who know even less about hacking than script kiddies but can produce professional-grade hacking tools.«

I don't know how seriously we should take this but keep an eye on it will certainly help.

Encore une bonne raison de boycotter les produits #Microsoft !

Surtout si on ne veut ni de #Copilot, ni de pub, ni racheter un ordinateur !

Microsoft hat den Windows-Update-Fehler behoben, der dazu führte, dass die kumulativen Windows-Updates vom März 2025 den KI-gestützten digitalen Assistenten Copilot fälschlicherweise von einigen Windows 10- und Windows 11-Systemen deinstallierten.
Schade! Ich würde die versehentliche Deinstallation von Copilot nicht als einen "Fehler" oder "Bug" betrachten, sondern viel eher als ein sehr vernünftiges Must-have und Feature

"Please stop legitimizing #LLMs or #AI image generators or GitHub #Copilot or any of this garbage. I am begging you to stop using them, stop talking about them, stop making new ones, just stop. If blasting CO2 into the air and ruining all of our freshwater and traumatizing cheap laborers and making every sysadmin you know miserable and ripping off code and books and art at scale and ruining our fucking #democracy isn’t enough for you to leave this shit alone, what is?"
