they're downsizing free github copilot pro for open source maintainers. At the very least, it looks like small open source projects got their free copilot pro cut off

some of Github's open source maintainers have lost their free github copilot pro, guess this is really the next step for them to save cost in their infrastructure.

not available for Github Copilot pro(only in pro+, business and enterprise), I am really now feeling the era of subsidized AI is over.

I don't have much experience and I see C as something I would never be able to touch as they seem quite high level for me with the manipulation of memory and stuff.

And from what I see, Rust can sort of make it easier by making you think about the lifetime of the memory while coding and that's why I really wanted to learn Rust

I mostly just python and kotlin as my languages

hello, if you got some issue. It would be best to go their discord to contest it for the benefit of everyone who is going to use it in the future.

I've done it a few times too, and if ever the recent submission wasn't good they can lock the video from further submissions

I did have problem like this before too and I just made my search better by appending the `after:` to my google search to ensure the latest info

small nitpick but I thought it was just an icon but it turns out to be the button for switching light/dark mode. It would be great if you could replace it.

iirc, Your phone sends signal to all nearby towers and then pick the closest one to connect with, which means the signal towers can also triangulate your location based from your distance to the nearby towers

> There are some tricks I learned on HN to use uBlock origin to filter these spam sites but Google really needs to fix this.

Oh I did use ublacklist which mixes blocking in both of the google search and the google image search. But curious what is the filter you have in your uBlock origin?

if they penalize users, how they're going to get more data from the said users to sell.
