Comment on Using StartAllBack? No Windows updates for you, says Microsoft
Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 2 months agoMicrosoft owns github. I wonder if there’s going to be a purge of this kind of software from the system coming down the pike.
I’m sure if they did that it would spark a mass exodus and the development of a viable alternative, but I’ve never seen those kinds of inevitable consequences stop a corporation from enshittifying.

There are viable alternatives to GitHub already, especially if you need to host your own code.
Gitlab comes to mind.
Microsoft have actually been decent stewards of GitHub

Ah. That’s the “embrace” phase.

Luckily for us their are viable alternates out there already. If GitHub disappeared we’d have alternates.
Git itself is not owned by Microsoft.

It’s impossible to imagine that they haven’t talked about nixxing something like Microsofiy Activation Scripts though.
The idea that a multinational corporation will be able to resist enshittification forever is pretty cute. These thing happen over the course of many years. They haven’t turned it to shit yet, but it’s basically inevitable isn’t it?
