Finally we can do collaborative coding in powerpoint, put it on sharepoint, and have copilot link it to issues in teams.

It was dead when MS bought it. Software developers aren't immune to denial.

It’s not just GitHub. People are also using VSCode, despite it slowly suffocating the non-MS dev ecosystem.
Microsoft switched from the really aggressive “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” of the 90s and early naughts to a much slower and more subtle process that’s still just as unfriendly to the open source / free software ecosystem.

Microsoft buying Github is the best example of the fox guarding the hen house that exists. Even better than an ad company making a web browser.

the mergers & acquisitions leviathan eats yet another beautiful thing, just like it ate my precious linode.

People not realising (or not caring enough about) the irony that more than 80% of open source projects are hosted in a platform which is a) not open source and b) owned by M$ has always been a mistery to me.

It was braindead when MS bought it and kept artificially alive.

I didn’t have many but I’m pulling all my repos from GitHub.

The ensh*tification continues. Time for community git to somehow be federated like lemmy.
Some sort of encrypted collective sharing of the whole through BitTorrent style shared hosting.
I would seriously consider donating a few TB space and half my bandwidth to that.

Already being worked on for a while. It's called ForgeFed and being developed by Forgejo (the software powering codeberg). It's an extension to the ActivityPub protocol, which is also powering the fediverse.

Thanks for this! I’ll check it out.

Git has always been decentralized. That was one of its purposes. Sites like GitHub, Gitlab, etc actually went against the grain and centralized them; I personally believe this helped popularize git back in the days of CVS and Subversion being the two most popular version control systems.
Git patches were made to be email friendly as a means of distributing code between developers — it’s how the Linux kernel does it (or did, I’m not up to date on their current practices).
