Among the software developers who use Microsoft’s GitHub, the most popular community discussion in the past 12 months has been a request for a way to block Copilot, the company’s AI service, from generating issues and pull requests in code repositories.

The second most popular discussion – where popularity is measured in upvotes – is a bug report that seeks a fix for the inability of users to disable Copilot code reviews.

    that’s what I did when I moved my stuff to codeberg and my private forgejo instance. I knew deleting the repos on github wasn’t going to do anything, they would likely still have them. so I just pushed a bunch of claude code AI slop into all of them. let Microsoft’s AI gorge itself on the waste from Anthropics. Literally just opened up a Claude Code CLI and had it do a bunch of absolutely dumb crap and when it’d get confused and say “this isn’t right” I would correct it and say “no, NO! you’re completely right! keep going!”

    It was actually kinda fun. like teaching a kid to ride a bike wrong on purpose.
