  1. Why I'm leaving #GitHub

    source: jorijn.com/en/blog/leaving-git…

    TL;DR

    • GitHub logged 257 incidents in May 2025 to April 2026, 48 of them major. The CTO publicly apologised and said capacity needs to scale 30x to keep up with AI-driven load.
    • In August 2025 GitHub stopped having its own CEO. It is now a unit of Microsoft's #CoreAI division, the same group building Copilot and the broader AI stack.
    • On April 24, 2026 GitHub flipped #Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ user-interaction data to opt-in for AI training by default. There is no repository-level opt-out.
    • US-jurisdictional risk under #FISA Section 702 and the CLOUD Act is unresolved. Microsoft's own attorney told the French Senate under oath he could not #guarantee #EU data was safe from silent US #government access.

    So tell me why do they still use GitHub?

  8. Ich meine WTF? Was sendet hier welches Signal das es ohne mein Zutun in mein Iphone schafft und einen Podcast startet ohne die App überhaupt zu öffnen? Wer weiß was hier in meinem Iphone sonst noch passiert ohne das ich etwas davon mitbekomme? Sitz hier ein #Hacker und erlaubt sich ein Scherz? Oder geht das tiefer? Ich habe die Koordinaten im Starttröt angehängt für den Fall das sich Jemand (eventuell der #CCC?) dafür interessiert. Ich komme auch gerne vorbei und führe es vor. #Apple

  24. In cases like this, I avoid the word #hacker, because to me, true #hackers are the good guys.

    In the 1980s (and today), people who illegally copy software or media were called #pirates. To me, these people today, that break into systems & hijack them for ransom are committing true #piracy. I imagine them bringing their digital ships up alongside & boarding the victim.

    The 1980s pirates are just #thieves.
