The biggest problem with ChatControl is that you are required to weaken the encryption of your chat application, or possibly give authorities access to scan all messages.
Actually, I would prefer it if they offered their subscription service through data plans or balance, just like WhatsApp did before Meta bought it.

Just keep it and do a few commits a year at least to make sure your code can’t be used.
Just accept that it’s bad and go somewhere else;
before leaving github, it is better for them to ensure that their code on github cannot be used to train AI.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish
Microsoft’s Copilot push isn’t strategy, it’s the old embrace, extend, extinguish play dressed up in “AI” robes. GitHub was acquired to embrace developers. Copilot is the extend phase: saturating every workflow with unasked-for AI noise, from issues to pull requests to editors. The extinguish part is already visible - trust in GitHub is collapsing, and the very maintainers who underpin Microsoft’s ecosystem are moving to other platforms.
On earnings calls, this is presented as “momentum”. In reality, it’s forced adoption: a hostile takeover of developer experience. When customers explicitly ask for an off switch and leadership ignores them, that’s not innovation - it’s managerial negligence. Any competent operator knows that coercion isn’t growth, it’s decay.
GitHub’s competitive advantage was never a Copilot sidebar, it was trust and network effects. Those are finite assets, and they’re being burned for vanity metrics. The result? A platform that once symbolised collaboration now feels like adware, and developers - the same ones whose code powers Azure and every Microsoft AI demo - are signalling they’re done.
Shareholders should be asking a simple question: what is the long-term value of poisoning the well you drink from? Copilot may inflate short-term KPIs, but the cost is strategic: erosion of goodwill, flight of open-source projects, and reputational damage that no amount of AI rebranding can fix.
I agree with the first paragraph, this is just another M$ EEE. Utilizing source codes on github to train their AI to be smarter in coding. So they can promote vibe coding to people with a little or no experience in coding.

I don’t see any issues with Aurora Store, as others have said, try with VPN. Or check their telegram group if there are any issues.
I remember back then, some people defended not blocking Threads instances.
While I’m very happy to see it, what about Whatsapp users in the EU? Suckerberg knows that this is Meta’s strong position, and that’s why he insisted on not signing.
only one, online friend 👀
The biggest problem is that M$ has had upperhand in big corpos and governments for a long time, Active Directory is their weapon.
In large companies and governments, these kinds of decisions are made by IT Directors and Politicians and often they are just average users who are not tech savvy.
yup that’s right, I have a Redmi 9A that uses the MTK chip. I can unlock the bootloader in a few minutes and I don’t have to wait weeks to unlock the bootloader.
Yes, I think it’s still a problem
Even if Gemini App Activity is off, Gemini will still get access to these tools on your mobile phone. So how would the user know which feature setting this applies to and how they can stop this?
Yeah I guess, if you already have Android phone without Google Assistant or Gemini installed.
It’s probably already installed on the latest Android phones.
It’s already a problem since begining, costing up to 1 trillion rupiah or 60 million US dollars per day. And the money flows to high-ranking officers and officials through foundations that have kitchens that cook free meals.
