How to disable Copilot in GitHub?

For the first time in months GitHub has released a feature that I actually enjoy: a way to disable Copilot on the home screen. Thanks to Harry Sintonen for sharing this on Mastodon:

• Login to github.com
• Profile -> Settings -> Copilot
• "Dashboard entry point" -> Select "Disabled"
• While you're here, disable the rest.
• Don't forget to leave any feedback you have in the (...) menu, too.

I am not holding my breath that GitHub will start delivering more features that actually benefit users any time soon (GitHub Security Advisories? Remember that feature?)

Seeing a cascade of users disabling Copilot might provide enough signal that they are wasting their time pushing these useless features down everyone's throats.

Wow, you made it to the end!
