It blows my mind that so many devs did not see this coming the moment Microsoft bought it. I was waiting for this to happen the moment I found out about the acquisition.
I stopped sending updates to it and host my own gitlab now.
won't ever look back.

This is the most infuriating, heartbreaking and lame thing ever. AI bros are just a bunch of losers ruining stuff for everyone.
crypto bros == AI bros
always have been ruining shit for everyone else.

and it's arguably better of a service. CF supports private repo page for free.
oh yes, "use the service everyone else uses".
CF buyout in 3...2...1

And the unfortunate part is that crypto and LLMs are cool tech, but the bros completely ruin them.

I'm using gitea - why u guys use forgejo again?
All the reasons that others mentioned, plus it sound cool.

That had already started.
How has GitHub been enshittified? It's a genuine question, because I've thought Microsoft has been a pretty good steward of it until now.

Well there is only 2 options. Host yourself, host for free and risk a buyout.
If you always live your life in fear then you will never be living your life.

They're all avatars of nvidia which themselves
are avatar of TSMC and the silicon chip
manufacturing industry. There are underlying
technological current are driving cultural movement ...
Oh no "Culture is downstream from technology"
that is the most cyberpunk thing I've ever heardCULTURE IS DOWNSTREAM FROM TECHNOLOGY
I couldn't find it, but there's a moment where
::: spoiler spoiler
Cory Doctorow discusses how underlying technology
manufacturer end up controlling their downstream
consumer application of the technology in a
kind of "balance of power" of technologyI can't find this passage at the moment,
I thought it was in the "war on general computing" speech,
but I can't find it, I thought it was especially insightfulIn anycase there are the following links

third and fourth options
- infiltrate an open system on a poorly secured host
- don't host anything

Adding Oauth with GitHub and GitLab is pretty easy
OAuth is just making yet another account with a 3rd party authorization mechanism.
Yes, but you don't have to worry about the password

Pretty sure I had Embrace Extend Extinguish as my 'status' when microsoft inevitably introduced that linkedin style social media bullshit to a git server.
Plenty of good alternatives out there, or roll your own!

GitHub just got less independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation
Microsoft is bringing GitHub into its AI engineering team. It’s part of an AI shakeup, following the GitHub CEO resigning.
The Verge (www.theverge.com)
shit, whats this going to mean for repos like massgrave? will microsoft enforce shitty policies against DIY software that's published there if it violates somebody's terms of use?
-
I mean, it doesn't seem like an improvement jumping from Microsoft to Amazon. Still a massive POS company
Hell, I would go so far as to say Amazon is worse

I'm finding this kind of Pikachu surprised face meme worthy, really.
We all know and knew that GitHub is Microsoft's. We all know that Microsoft is fucking evil, yet everyone and their mother have their main repo management with GitHub.
W.T.F.
what did you expect would happen, sooner rather than later?
Well technically nothing has happened yet, but you can imagine the fun that is coming

i’m having these same feelings about my youtube channel. they tell me i’m paranoid…
‘what, you think youtube is gonna go down?’
it’s not that i think it’s gonna go down, but it’s that nothing gold can stay. i gotta get some eggs in a different basket.

There's plenty alternatives.
- Sourcehut sr.ht (possibly other instances)
- Various gitlab instances, e.g. framagit.org
- not to mention git's own web ui which runs under so many domains; some of them might even be open to signups.
Unfortunately none has quite as good of a search engine. Do any actually have social features like friends and feeds?

woah. I really didn't know. I guess in that case it's also strange it didn't happen sooner

GitHub is finally dead.
Still a zombie tho, and its gonna be for a long time, as long as it stays relevant

I’m only surprised it took this long.
