privately on github

So Microsoft and their AI will have access to your code but people won't.

Yeah, I'm aware, but didn't bother yet to go further... I have been thinking about hosting my own git server to work on.

I'm not a prolific open source contributor anyways, but i'm wondering if the tides are changing in regards to open source.

I can imaging that many people in the open source community - even if they're giving away their code for free under the most permissive licenses, still somewhere enjoy the fact that people know they're looking at their code on github or wherever it may be hosted. But now that slowly people shifting to only looking at code via LLM chat apps, then they might want to contirbute less to open source... just wondering... ?
