Ugh, can't believe they made this opt-in by default, and didn't even post the direct URLs to disable in their blog post.

To add on to your (already helpful!) instructions:

- Go to https://github.com/settings/copilot/features - Go to the "Privacy" section - Find: "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training" - Set to disabled

I always thought "opt-in" (not "opt in") meant something you have to actively choose to enable; otherwise, it stays off. So calling something "opt-in by default" sounds like a misnomer to me.

But English is not my first language so please correct me if I'm wrong.

You can't believe Microslop is force-feeding people Copilot in yet another way?

> and didn't even post the direct URLs to disable in their blog post

You can't believe Microshaft didn't tell you how to not get shafted?
