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 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.

    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.

    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?

    Didn’t GitHub acquire GitLab?

    Just a reminder that Codeberg exists, is completely free and open source, and has a GitHub import feature.
