Alt text: an ad for Github Copilot when viewing files in a github repo
You must log in or # to comment.
That text has been there for like a year?
Only noticed it today. I guess years of adblocking made me ultra sensitive to ads that this one stuck out like a sore thumb.
It is quite antithetical to the principles of FOSS to rely on a platform that pushes ads. It’s unfortunate that we settled on github but it is what it is.
You can always clone it and use services like gitlab or codeberg. Or host your own Gitea instance.
Github is not a two sided market, enshittification does not apply. They make all their money from users.
- it’s not intrusive
- it can be dismissed in one click, and this hides these ads everywhere and permanently
Omg text you can block with an adblocker so scary!!! ENsHITtIfIcATiOn WoOoOOO
