  • Roman @rtsisyk revoked Github owner permissions from Alexander @biodranik and Viktor @vng and granted such permissions to the community contributor @pastk. This triggered Github’s automatic “sanctions” check and the whole Github OM organization was automatically archived and admin access was blocked until OM’s appeal was reviewed. It was unknown whether and when Github would review Organic Maps’ appeal and unblock the repositories, so 2 weeks later the project migrated to the self-hosted git.omaps.dev/organicmaps instance, using the free and open source software forge Forgejo.

    What the fuck? GitHub blocking the account because of automated security evaluation triggering (probably a good thing) but no review over two weeks (obviously a very bad thing)?

    Do you mean it works reliably well in letting users through, or in blocking AI?

    Do you have sources or more information about the effectiveness of it in blocking AI? What else it blocks as collateral damage would also be interesting.

Similar to consent dialogs you could go into settings for and save with opt-outs. But it’s a barrier and user-opposing functionality.

    I certainly don’t see it as a simply or only good and effective thing.
