4 days agoGitHub backs down, kills Copilot PR 'tips' after backlash
GitHub removed Copilot's ability to insert ads into pull requests after developer backlash.
GitHub will introduce a $0.002 per minute charge for self-hosted runners starting March 2026, ending years of free usage. While the company claims 96 percent of customers won't see higher bills, developers are pushing back against paying for software running on their own infrastructure. GitHub announced the pricing change on December 16, alongside a reduction in GitHub-hosted runner prices. From January 2026, GitHub-hosted runners will cost 20 to 39 percent less depending on machine type.
