  I’m finding this kind of Pikachu surprised face meme worthy, really.

  We all know and knew that GitHub is Microsoft’s. We all know that Microsoft is fucking evil, yet everyone and their mother have their main repo management with GitHub.

  W.T.F.

  what did you expect would happen, sooner rather than later?

  Well technically nothing has happened yet, but you can imagine the fun that is coming

    I honestly don’t understand ehy Github hasn’t been abandonned by users at this point. If I were a company, I’d either go to the competition, who is just as good if not better, or host in-house if the means are there.

    I’m just a freelancer and I gave up on github 3 years ago

      Go with self hosted solutions, it’s really not that hard.

        For a small to medium company it’s not necessarily worth it.

    i’m having these same feelings about my youtube channel. they tell me i’m paranoid…

    ‘what, you think youtube is gonna go down?’

    it’s not that i think it’s gonna go down, but it’s that nothing gold can stay. i gotta get some eggs in a different basket.

    woah. I really didn’t know. I guess in that case it’s also strange it didn’t happen sooner

        Source-available isn’t the same as free and open-source. You might not be able to distribute or modify as you like to the former and may have any sort of license provisioned with further restrictions.
