Perhaps next time you should consult with legal before asserting co-authorship on end users’ code. The appended comment was not “edited with VS code” or “sent from VS code”, it was “co-authored by Copilot”. You do understand that there are legal implications to claims of authorship, right?

I would also really like to see answers to these questions. This change explicitly claims that MS co-authored the commit.

What is the use-case where you expect users would be happy that you modify their commit messages with MS marketing? Do you think it would be ok to edit every commit to append “written with VS Code”?

For people suffering from tinnitus, here is a technique that greatly helped me:

1. Place your hands over your ears such that your fingers are on the back of your skull - thumbs should be on your neck and middle fingers at the base of your skull.

2. Tap your middle fingers on the base of your skull repeatedly for ~30 seconds

It apparently doesn’t work for everyone, and it’s not permanent, but for me it greatly reduces the “volume” or stops it entirely.

I have no idea what the explanation is, but it’s free, safe, and you can try it right now.

Hope that helps! Tinnitus sucks.

The timeline of the campaign makes it pretty clear that either:

1) they knew they were insolvent, and wouldn’t be able to continue

or

2) the campaign was used to demonstrate market demand to enable their sale to Fitbit

Edit: also, they sold for $23 million [1], total pledges were for about $13 million, and not everyone got a refund [2]

I'm not shocked - Pebble showed their true colors years ago when they ran the kickstarter campaign for the Time 2, which they cancelled and sold out to Fitbit. They never cared about their community.

Apparently, he leaked the email address in an early email sent to site users. It contained his real first name and birth year, and he used the address on several other sites.

When he was busted he was logged in to the site, and had several passwords/keys stored in plaintext on his machine.

Multiple OpSec failures.
