    @concretedog@mastodon.social "We want to give developers agency over their source code". Then maybe ask before stealing it?

    @concretedog@mastodon.social And the correct course of action, if you are an EU citizen, is of course to write a formal complaint to because they are collecting your personally identifiable information — in machine-readable form! — and distributing it to unknown third parties. GDPR, as far as I know it, does not care whether the processed information was publicly accessible or not. Only that personal information has been registered.

    @concretedog@mastodon.social @Gargron@mastodon.social And they require all opt-out requests to be made IN PUBLIC. https://github.com/bigcode-project/opt-out-v2/issues Sue them to the end of the world and back, for all I care.

    @concretedog@mastodon.social Not quite. It doesn't appear to have taken my RC2014-Z80 archive (yet). Although it did take my personal crappy Arduino code from 15 years ago. I have filled out the "Opt Out" forms, although I was tempted to leave that in there just to poison the database and screw with AI!

    15.9 TB Huh -- if that's all of github, it's surprising to me that it fits on one large-ish consumer hard drive. CC: @concretedog@mastodon.social

    @concretedog@mastodon.social ohh, and of course you need to make an issue on github to opt out. so people who deleted their accounts there are just fucked I guess

    @concretedog@mastodon.social Thanks for the link. For anyone reading, the link lets you search for your username, then open an issue in 2 clicks to request that your content is removed. Yes it's a dick move that you have to manually opt-out.

    @concretedog@mastodon.social Leandro von Werra (@lvwerra), the owner of the repo and employee of huggingface, hasn't close an issue since 2024: https://github.com/bigcode-project/opt-out-v2/issues/2067 ... are they even listening to the thousands of opt-out requests? This is so infuriating 🤬
