Anyone got any further opinions on what I should do about my projects and their source code hosted on GitHub? 🤔 #github #copilot

@prologic Before making a decision, ask yourself why you chose Github and why you stayed there for so long. Alternatives have been around for some time. If Copilot is 😈, then spread your wings and fly, fly Prologic! 😀\n\n#https://twtxt.net/search?tag=github> #copilot

Move your code. Copilot is just one more reason. I maintain an account to work with other projects, but won't host my stuff there.

@prologic @ionores @anth I've always hosted my code myself. Not counting the early days on SourceForge some millennia ago. I'm using GitHub just to collaborate in other people's projects.
@prologic I only see one semi-good reason to stay at GitHub: Lots of people already have an account there, so it’s easier for them to collaborate. That said, I left GitHub and switched to “just send me an email”, and I still get about the same amount of bug reports and feature requests. There was, however, a big drop in the number of *patches* I get. People forgot how to send diffs via email (or they never learned it, if they’re too young).

@ionores I’ll have a think about it this weekend 👌

@anth Ahh good ! I value your opinion (as I do many others) so this helps me decide what I will do 👌

@lyse Thanks!

@movq Yup good points!

@movq I have to admit, I never sent a patch via e-mail. At least not in the sense of proper patches. I have mailed fixed code when I helped out non-IT mates with their coding.
@prologic Very rarely to never did I discover new cool projects on GitHub. There are cases, where I look through people's projects, but that would work the very same if they'd hosted themselves. The thing is, that the initial contact was always made somewhere else, blogs, articles, docs, twts, that sort of thing.
@movq @lyse I have to admit neither have I 😳
