Summary

  • Gentoo is migrating from GitHub to Codeberg to avoid Copilot scanning and AI training on its code.
  • Codeberg is Forgejo-based and run by a non-profit, offering a privacy-focused host for Gentoo.
  • Contributions are accepted now on Codeberg; GitHub remains active for a transitional period.

How much would you allow an AI to scan and train off your code? People have differing opinions as to how much they’re okay with an LLM taking a peek at their projects, and I think it’s for the best of all humanity if I keep my own code away from the eyes of an AI.

Regardless, the team over at Gentoo has made a decision: they’d rather not have Copilot on GitHub going through all of their code. As such, they’ve been slowly migrating over to Codeberg, and they’ve just announced that they’re open for submissions over on its new home.
