If the poster wants nuance, they are free to provide it themselves.
And that is the statement where I have to say that we must agree to disagree. I would find it a shame if the Fediverse just became Reddit 2.0.
Frankly I don’t know of any software company using Github Enterprise on-prem …
Self-hosted does not automatically mean on-prem. Most companies will not have their own server racks on site, but will either rent them or, most likely, use their own managed hyperscaler cloud. Github Enterprise Cloud, on the other hand, always runs on Azure and is managed by Microsoft.

What vibes do you think I’m going off?
What I meant was that you read the comments, identified inconsistencies from your point of view, and then responded in a confrontational manner without including the whole context.
You do have some good points. But instead of opposing everything that has been said, you could have differentiated much better.
For example:
- Public repositories on github.com are definitely used for AI training
- Private repositories on github.com are suspected of being used for training
- Github Enterprise Cloud is probably contractually protected
- Github Enterprise Server is the most secure of all options due to contracts and self-hosting (and therefore the only valid option for enterprises with proprietary code)
All of the responses are saying that Github reads all code.
The first comment explicitly mentions “hosted on GitHub”, which at least excludes GitHub Enterprise Server, which is self-hosted.
The article is about an open source project that, by definition, uses public repositories.
Github public and Github enterprise are products of the same organisation.
Coming from someone who tells others that they first need to deal with “adult life”, I find this statement surprising. I work for an international company and manage several Github orgas with hundreds of repos. Whether the code is stored on github.com or on our own Github Enterprise server is highly relevant and makes a huge difference.

Why are you referring all your answers to GitHub Enterprise and corporate contracts? Nobody here is talking about that, as the news is about an open source project. Public GitHub and GitHub Enterprise are fundamentally different.
You accuse others of responding based solely on “vibes,” but you do exactly the same thing in the opposite direction. And yet, of all people, you’re saying we don’t act like adults.

Some of her statements are even more out of touch:
[…] even somebody who works with us who’s willing to spend $40 million, they’re compromising also […]
And as a European this sounds crazy to me:
I haven’t cooked in 30 years, but [young people] love it.
- Comment on European Commission launching #Wifi4EU initative, 93k high-speed private access points across the EU, free of charge. 6 months ago:
Sorry, that wasn’t meant to sound so accusatory. I guess I (and probably a lot of other downvoters) are just very frustrated because your assumption doesn’t hold true, at least for Germany. I’m very envious of the Internet infrastructure that has been built in Latvia and Romania, for example. I would like to see the same here, but the government already considers 50 MBit DSL to be progressive.

most having infinite data
That’s a bold claim. Do you have some official figures to back that up? Where I live, I don’t know of anyone with truly unlimited mobile internet.
The cheaper unlimited tariffs cost around €30, but have at least one of the following restrictions:
- Speed limit after x volume used
- Poor network coverage
- <15MBit/s speed
- Significantly increased costs after 2 years of contract term
- Cancellation by provider if consumption is too high
- only a few Gb at full speed included in EU roaming
Genuine unlimited contracts with stable network coverage and 300 Mbit/s usually cost around €80-100 per month here. And unlimited EU roaming is still not included by default.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 7 months ago:
I had the same experience with Ubuntu many years ago. And I can’t speak for Pop!_OS since I never used it. Most developers only provide commands for Ubuntu, Debian or Fedora on their websites. So they don’t work all the time in derived distros.
At least in Bazzite there is an “App Store” called Bazaar, containing many popular apps as flatpaks --> 1 click install. I generally like using the command line, but it was not necessary at all so far.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 7 months ago:
It’s so much easier than I had anticipated. Funnily enough, the most complicated thing was organizing a 16Gb USB stick to boot because I only had 20 year old ones with 4Gb. On a newly purchased bare AMD PC, I was able to set everything up after work and play games with my buddies the same evening.
I opted for Bazzite and everything ran right out of the box without any additional hardware drivers: gaming mouse, wifi, wireless PS4 controller, printer, NAS, Android phone. The game libraries from Steam, Epic, gog etc. can all be easily connected via Lutris and so far all the games I’ve tried have run. For programs that are only offered for other distributions, I have installed BoxBuddy, where you can create Distroboxes. For most Windows native programs Wine just works.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 7 months ago:
I did the same this month. My hardware wasn’t supported by Win11, so I installed Bazzite. It works so smoothly that I’ve already installed it on another PC and will do so on every PC in my household. I’ve been able to run every single game so far, whether they were from Steam, Ubisoft Connect, GOG, Battle.net or the EA app. I had no idea we were at this point already.

I’m sure you’re referring to these Opalithplättchen, aren’t you?
Impressive that you could remember the name. I’m German and had to look it up since I never heard about Opalith before.
