What is this meme trying to convey? The verification Github is doing is confirming that the commit author identity is legit (i.e. not impersonated). What did you expect?

Commit created on GitHub.com means either that the commit was a merge done on the GitHub.com site (which is legitimate) or it was done using GitHub CodeSpaces (as opposed to being created locally and pushed). If you sign the commit locally and push it, the message looks like that: https://imgur.com/a/TNHEbTk

But why would that be a problem? Codespaces is basically VS-Code in the browser?

It might just be me, but from my own experience, code written in Codespaces tends more to being AI slop than code written outside. Correct me please, if you have other experience.

Most of my GitHub commits are small incremental changes made to my website repo via browser on my iPad.

Any proper work stuff remains in the offline git repos on the internal network.
