For me, they only have one of my repos, and I deleted all my repos months ago, so whether they actually have the code or just the title idk

Good news: If anyone wants the one they got, I host it myself here instead. Fuck M$, AI thieves etc.

I mean they can probably steal it from my site too but I've taken precautions, and the second biggest reason to migrate off corpo accounts entirely -- my site is a much smaller hacker target than Github.
