       I'm with @webology on this one. GitHub has repeatedly refused to donate to the DSF/DjangoCon because "GitHub don't use Django", but they use mention Django in so much marketing material …This is probably because Copilot does an excellent job generating Django code ... but that's only because Django's documentation culture and open community forums provide high-quality training material. How about throwing us a couple of bucks to say "thanks for training our AI”?https://mastodon.social/@webology/112004988738622793

       I mean shit, GitHub even takes a 6% cut of the donations that people make to Django through their platform! So they're quite literally _directly_ making money off the backs of people donating to open source. Cool cool very cool very nice lovely.

       @jacob that's why I moved away from github donations for making financial contributions to FOSS projects. There are other options like @opencollective which of course also take a cut for their overhead, but at least it's a non profit taking that cut.
