Interestingly, it is disabled by default for me.

Reading the github blog post "If you previously opted out of the setting allowing GitHub to collect this data for product improvements, your preference has been retained—your choice is preserved, and your data will not be used for training unless you opt in."

Is this the new name for the setting? I cannot find one that sounds like the previous one you mention

Notable that they have no "privacy" section in account settings

gpm · 2026-03-25T19:44:52 1774467892

Me too, which is making me wonder if they're planning on silently flipping this setting on April 24th (making it impossible to opt out in advance).

martinwoodward · 2026-03-26T03:27:17 1774495637

We are not. The reason we wanted to announce early was so that folks had plenty of time to opt-out now. We've also added the opt-out setting even if you don't use Copilot so that you can opt-out now before you forget and then if you decide to use Copilot in the future it will remember your preference.

Would you be able to comment on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47522876, i.e. explain the legal basis for this change for EU based users? If there is none, you may have to expect that people will exercise their right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

ThrowawayB7 · 2026-03-26T15:24:30 1774538670

Why would you expect an engineer to be able to comment on legal affairs? Presumably it was cleared with Microsoft's legal department or whatever GitHub's divisional equivalent is.

That's precisely what the term 'engineer' signifies. (I know it gets used incorrectly for software developers.) Workers in general need to decide whether something is legal independently of their company, because the company lawyers have the interest of the company in mind, which might conflict with the workers interest to not do illegal things.

Big Tech is known for clearing illegal things by their legal departments all the time.

spiderfarmer · 2026-03-25T19:45:41 1774467941

Is it because I'm in the EU?

paularmstrong · 2026-03-25T19:51:14 1774468274

I'm in the US and it's off for me. I believe I've previously opted out of everything copilot related in the past if there was anything.

gpm · 2026-03-25T21:05:02 1774472702

I'm in Canada, so not only the EU at least.

xgdgsc · 2026-03-26T01:14:19 1774487659

I guess we have to check out again on April 24 ?

archb · 2026-02-17T14:41:24 1771339284

Yeah, it's really that simple. I have tried various applications as well and keep coming back to my custom script because when a new voice model drops on HuggingFace it becomes possible to customize it immediately - rather than wait for that application developer to support that new model.

archb · 2026-02-05T18:06:24 1770314784

Can set it with the API identifier on Claude Code - `/model claude-opus-4-6` when a chat session is open.

arnestrickmann · 2026-02-05T18:28:12 1770316092

thanks!

I like Parakeet as well and use it via Handy on Mac. What app are you using on your phone?

jiehong · 2026-02-04T18:58:10 1770231490

Spokenly has it on Mac and iOS, in both cases for free when using parakeet

archb · 2026-01-15T06:42:23 1768459343

I also tried that and got https://twitter.web-safe.link/BUuLrg_document.zip

Good news - it looks like the GitHub Copilot team is actually working with the OpenCode team to support subscription authentication [1]

I think it does use JMAP because that's how the core Fastmail web experience works.

archb · 2025-10-14T14:45:59 1760453159

Mostly performance benefits that JMAP enables, and masked email addresses feature for example. - https://www.fastmail.com/blog/how-and-why-we-built-masked-em...

Yes, the keyboard shortcuts are available, but I am unable to see browser navigation shortcuts like 'command + left arrow' to navigate to the previous page.
