  So can we now please please pretty please move all open source projects away from GitHub? Finally?

    Not only that, but can we stop trying to pretend that MS has changed and that those of us watching them since their inception are not just refusing to move on when we continue to remind people of EEE and their other business practices?

    A tremendous number of people predicted this would be bad when it happened in 2018, and a surprisingly large number of tech pundits were ready to suggest we were just being being a little too hard on poor old microsoft and a little too predictable as longtime Linux users.

    CAN WE NOT forget this time?

    Same request on the whole Hitler/Trump thing actually. Let’s really remember it next time around, not somehow forget in a couple decades. At least the how and why will be tremendously well documented for historians this time around.

      I would never have imagined the hatred I would have for the word “tremendous”. Any time I hear it now I just want to punch someone’s teeth out.

      Yeah, let’s please not forget even though we all collectively will forget anyway because we’re all so dumb

    I guess so. This was the final straw for me

    I hope gitLAB can pick up some more staff from the MS layoffs and get help with some long-standing issues.

  Uff, hope my favourite projects finally make the move soon.

  • grue@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    My favorite projects definitely will, because any that don’t will lose the status of “favorite.”

      Maybe. But there are projects still on that I could not replace. Jellyfin for example, I haven’t checked if they even consider moving. I moved away from Immich to the simpler setup of PiGallery2, also no clue of they have any plans on the horizon.

    I was afraid MS would keep it as an 'independent' service while syphoning data out of it. Buut looks like it entered the 'ravenous extraction' phase of enshitification, hopefully it accelerates market share loss.

• GreenKnight23@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  as was planned.

• C1pher@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  So no more open source projects? Microsoft will slowly retain all of them and implement in their own paid enshittificated “services”?

  Hand to the gods, I thought MS owned gitlab. Good to know.

  All your base are belong to us

• rbos@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  I guess we should start thinking about replacing Gitlab at work. Vendor lockin will be a serious problem else.

    Why would you mention GitLab in an GitHub article?

    • demiguru@infosec.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Didn’t GitHub acquire GitLab?
