I thought this was going to be a FOSS discussion, comparing GitHub and it’s current owner - Microsoft - to the ethics of other hosting services like codeberg.org or something.
Then I saw where this was posted.
I am new here. Can you kindly elaborate.
The previous Microsoft’s CEO truly hates FOSS, famously calling it cancer. Then the next CEO reversed Microsoft’s stance on FOSS, acquiring the largest FOSS collaboration site. Naturally, many view this move with suspicion since Microsoft has a history of embracing something only to extinguish it later.
Didn’t that person just want to use it to stalk an ex on Facebook.
Dafuq??? EDIT: Yeah I just checked the app I guess it could be used for that in a way.
Our boy is over on 4chan right now posting about that again and everyone remembers and posting NYPA (not your personal army).
Yeah, that dude went on 4chan asking some very specific questions, that’s how I recognized it.
a legend is born
Is this copypasta yet?
I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE CODE!! WHY IS THERE CODE? JUST MAKE A FUCKING EXE FILE AND GIVE IT TO ME.
who needs code, when all we need is exe files.
I agree with GitHub being bad, but the meme’s content is worse and I’m afraid that there are people who agree with it. I don’t like GitHub or Microsoft but since I get their stuff for free I do use but I’d love to use something that’s open and supports git properly.
I used to think github invented git when I was new to programming 😓
Jokes on you, I just never stopped using SVN out of laziness.
everyone knows the proper place for code is stuffing it into a trunk
I just store mine in memory (meat memory, not the computer stuff). If someone wants the source code I just tell them. Version control by oral tradition.
You joke, but that’s how a lot of the stuff I work on is documented. Passed along from one developer to the next - legends, really.
Joke’s* on you
(Short for “The joke is on you”.)
Jokes on me for saying github != git though

I’m looking forward to the Forgejo Federation to be completed.
It will be nice to not have to choose between self hosting your repository and having your repository discoverable.Is forge federation ready to be used by developers around the world? Not yet.
But the first Forgejo release with native federation implementation based on ForgeFed and F3 is expected next year.
Info from June 2023: https://forgefriends.org/blog/2023/06/21/2023-06-state-forge-federation/Current state of Federation in Forgejo: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59
https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/ more seriously
(note, the GitLab Enterprise Edition, which is provided to the public on gitlab.com, is (like GitHub) trade-secret, proprietary, vendor-lock-in software)
Isn’t EE source-available but proprietary? Plus if you just use the free tier you’re not using any enterprise features
I’m sorry, you were saying something about mental derangement after posting this thing? Jesus.
It’s a pretty popular meme format, it’s not serious
Use Codeberg ;)
I love repo.or.cz since it is enough.
What do you mean? Real Programmer use Zip file to share source code.
“real”.
repo.or.cz is lightweight. Codeberg isn’t, and it is currently not as fast as github.
You can always fall back to your “zip”, anyways. But why don’t .tgz?
I was just joking man. Yeah, I visit repo.or.cz it’s pretty lightweight and I loved it.
But I don’t think you are brave enough to take it up :)
Software Freedom Conservancy has a pretty nice page called Give Up GitHub!, definitely check that out
