I watched the whole video and several times Allen says "... the overall threat to the general public is low". He also says "we know very little about the transmission" and "this is not going to be a Covid blow up".

Yes, we should take this seriously. But please don’t be overly dramatic when there simply aren’t enough details available yet.

    If that’s what you meant to say, you’re extremely bad at expressing it. After all, you wrote this:

    ... if you've never thought that spanking a child might be a good idea then you don't have kids. Those little shits don't understand empathy or anything else that you're appealing to when you say violence is never the answer.

    That’s exactly the opposite of the comment you were replying to. You’re not saying that parents sometimes get angry, but that they consider violence to be a solution. That’s not the same thing!

    They don’t specifically follow the tram tracks, but in major European cities, tram tracks are simply everywhere. As the route of the protest has to be registered in advance, it’s very easy to plan for this.

    With standard wheels on the barbecue, it would be far too bumpy to barbecue properly. And the risk of everything tipping over is 100 times greater.

    I think it’s a brilliant solution.

    I did a bit of research. As near as I can tell, there’s one (one!) paleontologist listed in the Epstein Files as “having contact with the Epstein organization,” Dr. Jack Horner.

    What does "I did a bit of research" even mean? Couldn't it be that DinoCon was told about other cases that he is not aware of?

    Banning people for being in the Epstein Files is stupid.

    Sounds like a typical straw man argument to me. "engaged in correspondence" is not the same as "being in the files".

    I’m in the Epstein Files

    Maybe he felt that it applied to himself and therefore did not read the announcement carefully.

    If the poster wants nuance, they are free to provide it themselves.

    And that is the statement where I have to say that we must agree to disagree. I would find it a shame if the Fediverse just became Reddit 2.0.

    Frankly I don't know of any software company using Github Enterprise on-prem ...

    Self-hosted does not automatically mean on-prem. Most companies will not have their own server racks on site, but will either rent them or, most likely, use their own managed hyperscaler cloud. Github Enterprise Cloud, on the other hand, always runs on Azure and is managed by Microsoft.

    What vibes do you think I'm going off?

    What I meant was that you read the comments, identified inconsistencies from your point of view, and then responded in a confrontational manner without including the whole context.

    You do have some good points. But instead of opposing everything that has been said, you could have differentiated much better.

    For example:

    • Public repositories on github.com are definitely used for AI training
    • Private repositories on github.com are suspected of being used for training
    • Github Enterprise Cloud is probably contractually protected
    • Github Enterprise Server is the most secure of all options due to contracts and self-hosting (and therefore the only valid best option for enterprises with proprietary code)

    All of the responses are saying that Github reads all code.

    The first comment explicitly mentions "hosted on GitHub", which at least excludes GitHub Enterprise Server, which is self-hosted.

    The article is about an open source project that, by definition, uses public repositories.

    Github public and Github enterprise are products of the same organisation.

    Coming from someone who tells others that they first need to deal with "adult life", I find this statement surprising. I work for an international company and manage several Github orgas with hundreds of repos. Whether the code is stored on github.com or on our own Github Enterprise server is highly relevant and makes a huge difference.
