GitHub is finally dead.

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

Lol they're going to integrate it into their business software slop that nobody cool uses

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.

So long and thanks for all the fish indeed

And, which is the real Copilot now? Fuck MS and their terrible terrible naming.

Are we moving to Codeberg now?

i don't think being owned by a shitty billionare company counts as independent

Side note, now that GH is in Microsoft “CoreAI” it just feels even more gross than before.

My data is front and foremost the product.

I’ve been self hosting forgejo for a few months and it’s pretty nice plus low maintenance. It does all the stuff I care about. I might have to just make a public instance and figure out how federation works or join codeberg or something.

Don't just move to Codeberg; donate to them too.

We've been warned. (And unsurprisingly, Roy Schestowitz is being bomarbed by Microsofters with a chain of SLAPP suits.)

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).

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

Or your own server. But yeah this is not so good for the rest of us. They are doubling down on AI.

I believe that's probably why they specify in the headline "at Microsoft" rather than just "independent."

You can have an independent division within a company that doesn't get orders from the company's main CEO, or you can have it be fully under that person's oversight. It used to be a separate division with its own management, now it's not, thus it's no longer internally independent.

I mean, it's clearly not really been independent for a good while now

I would like to but I do want some private repos.

Maybe self hosting is the best move from here on in.

Huge différence when you have an executive team that can say no.

Now that the No guys are out, MS CoreAI team can do whatever the fuck they want.

I should have deleted my data earlier.

You've still got time. Even when management transitions, it takes MUCH longer for actual systems and processes to catch up to the new "vision" they have for it.

If you want to delete your data, now would be the time before they actually start implementing any new practices.

Long live Microsoft 365 Copilot CodeShare Professional
