How do you handle secrets? Env vars as described in the docs don’t seem like a solution for a team and we don’t have a vault provider. I was hoping it would have support for encrypting the files with a password or something. What’s your solution?
Microslop is one step ahead and has an online editor with Copilot integrated into it. That makes the chance of getting an LLM assisted or written PR even higher. Knowing Microslop, hey will go even further and have Copilot activated on all active repos, submitting PRs - and CoPilot will be opt-out
I wouldn’t put it past them.
That is an excellent question and I wouldn’t put it past them. Only time will tell.
They are already throwing a fit because Chinese companies are distilling their models, so them trying to copyright their copyright infringement machines is definitely plausible. And with a US system as it exists today, it might very well work. Hopefully the rest of the world will have told the US to fuck off by then…
Gitlab’s pipelines are way better than Github actions IMO. The only downside is the lack of a market, but otherwise, it’s definitely worth the switch.
But it’s difficult to give advice without more details. If you’re stuck in some system that only plugs into Github, you have 2 systems to switch instead of one.
Microslop has an editor in Github that makes it dead easy to create PRs with Copilot. It’s very low friction. On another platform, you have to download the editor first and install some agentic coding plugin (or download an agentic editor) and pay for it to get started. Much more friction.
Public FTP servers with folders containing multiple copies of the code FTW!
I recognise your name, but not sure from where… It for sure isn’t github BTW, because I don’t use it, but it does look familiar.
Anyway, if you happen to be known due to something you wrote, that’s great but would your popular project be used less if it weren’t on github, even as a mirror?
And do you believe having a public github profile when you started out (/ whatever project(s) you’re known for weren’t popular) made the difference in your hiring procedure? Did you ask? And if it did, would it have made a difference had you linked to a repo on codeberg or Gitlab?
How has that worked before? I’ve never encountered the system in practice. Can you give an example and explain how it works?
My fear is that newcomers will be locked out because of the assumption their code is LLM code but it genuinely is theirs. Or that they used an LLM, are willing to learn, think the code is genuinely good, but don’t know why it’s bad.
Very curious how the existing system works.
I think part of the problem is Microslop’s Github Copilot in the web, which makes it possible for non developers to quickly and easily create PRs without understanding a single thing about programming, let alone software development.
It wouldn’t surprise me of people genuinely think they are helping.
Thank you both for the news @myszka@lemmy.ml .
I’ve never shared my opensource work and still gotten jobs. IMO having opensource profiles is a liability for those who don’t have well known projects. Mine are nearly all explorations into unknown stuff and quickly thrown together. If they looked at my profile, it wouldn’t be a reflection of my capabilities.
Ran into this at work too. They just nixed the free group tier. I hope here are opensource alternatives we can pay for.

Still largest economy by GDP. Next is China at 20 or the EU at 22.
It is not. Leave California and serve the rest of the country.
And the rest of the US is unimportant?
The rest of the US is still available?
Why not say “we won’t sell to any customers in California” and be done with it? If someone goes out of their way to install Ubuntu on their system, it’s up to them. Also, how is that going to work for OSes in the cloud? Will CI pipelines need to be age gated?
“My privacy doesn’t matter”
Famous last words.
GrapheneOS really had good marketing, wow. /e/OS had been around for a while, as well as LineageOS. Hopefully this is the beginning of more vendors supporting different ROMs.
Actually, now I’m curious. @e_mydata@mastodon.social why don’t you have partnerships with other manufacturers besides FairPhone?
Binary reputation systems aren’t good. I can say something that right and it can be downvoted because it goes against a person’s beliefs, because I’m unpopular, because a certain group doesn’t like it, because, because, because. Popularity is not a good measure of quality. Just look at the “publish or die” system. Just because you’ve been cited multiple times doesn’t make your paper right.
Imagine a trans contributor being downvoted just because they’re trans. How is that a good system? Do you expect trans people should only contribute in software projects where trans people are accepted? How are you going to prevent brigading?
