Protip: just do a nazi salute and Teslas will avoid hitting you

I just saw this late, but I agree here. Also they added CI to Github with very generous limits (which were promptly abused to mine bitcoin), whereas before you had to use something like TravisCI which hit free limits constantly or some complicated solution using your own Jenkins server. Not to mention very restrictive private repos before the MS takeover.

People just like to complain because “Micro$oft bad” but when you point out the facts it’s just crickets…

Move fast and break things. What could possibly go wrong?

Look, I get it that it’s trendy to hate on Microsoft, but these complaints don’t even make sense. You complain about requiring an account to contribute, and then you propose some other services that do the exact same thing! Turning github into a 4chan style free-for-all is a terrible idea. Maybe that’s exactly why you VPN got blocked, because it’s enabling spam accounts. And what info are you giving Microsoft to create an account? An email, a password and a username? Not exactly doxxing material, is it? I just searched for some code from one of my repos in incognito and it was the first thing that popped up.

Microsoft is not preventing you from migrating, it’s just that there is no standard for issues, discussions, PRs etc. But every other service has an import tool that can do it if needed. And if you’re only hosting code (doubt) you’re a git remote add & git push away from being free of that evil Microsoft that is hosting all your repos for free.

I hate Microsoft and big corporations just about as much as anyone on Lemmy, but geez, pick your battles people.
