IMO the intro “[shared] to the respective secret scanning partner” is a bit misleading because it can be read as third parties unrelated to the secret that do secret scanning. The text later on only mentions the issuer of secrets, though.

To protect the developer community, GitHub partners with hundreds of secret scanning partners to identify leaked secrets.

GitHub works directly with industry partners like AWS, OpenAI, and Stripe to build detectors for their specific secret formats […]
GitHub notifies the secret issuer when publicly leaked secrets are found, allowing the partner to take immediate action.

    Ok, fine, what's the point of generating commit message based on what's already inside the commit ?

    Commit messages are supposed to give informations that are not in the modfied code. It's supposed to be the "why" you did this, not the "what" you did !

    Was this the same CEO who was just in the news a few days ago telling everyone to use AI or leave GitHub? I bet he got a nice exit bonus for adding that bit.

    Also they are proud to market it as a “remote” platform with users all over the world. What happened to RTO then dickheads?

    Anyway, everything about this is terrible.

    Is there any other platform other than github for submitting issues?

    Depends on the developers. Some rely entirely on the repo's Issues, but many have alternative channels like Telegram, Matrix, Discord, etc.

    I reckon it is time to turn away from github like how we switch from reddit to lemmy

    Many are doing exactly that. Sites like Codeberg are popular, if your project is FOSS.

    Or you can host your own Gitea or Forgejo instance. The latter is what Codeberg runs on.
