Got smacked with the pull request incident banner yesterday and now I'm actually considering to just move all my random personal repos to GitLab lol.

I've been putting off spinning up Forgejo at home because I really need to clean up my homelab design (really abusing quadlets to the point where it would be easier to just do K8s), and I already know I'm gonna immediately waste all my time setting up a dumb CI/CD pipeline that looks really cool but just makes a big mess every time I commit a mistake because I am not in the mood of setting up a monkeychain of pre-commit hooks at home lmao.

how many vibe coding incidents will it take for microslop to learn?

Downhill ever since they removed the horizontal merge graph from the classic Desktop, then closed an issue about it because too many people were affected.

I was thinking of joining GitHub back then, but the announcement that MS is buying it put me off. I was right from the start.

You know, when Boeing let the MBAs run engineering, several hundred people died. It doesn’t seem like any other companies have learned from this.

Start migrating elsewhere folks

lol. they really are speedrunning their end, aren't they?

Github has not even one-nine of uptime. Normally you want three-nines or four-nines, they have ZERO-nines. A server in your basement is worlds more reliable.

1. Have a project works well
2. Amass a massive community with lots of goodwill
3. Project gets bought/merged/under new management
4. new management destroy everything that attracted the community and goodwill
5. ???
6. Somehow, not profit

I wonder where it's gone wrong. What would it have cost github to keep operating decently for the vast majority of small users, and still have a business side?

Forgejo is the best alternative. They are also working on ActivityPub support, so different Forgejo instances can communicate with each other.

Codeberg is one of the many Forgejo instances.

A mistake in the article: ghostty is not "nearly two decades" old. It's like two years old. I think the author saw that the ghostty developer had been on github for that long, and assumed that the ghostty project had been going the whole time.

It's great to see popular projects moving to alternatives.

more FOSS projects NEED to get off github. there's been countless things I've stopped using because I refuse to open another github account to simply post an issue or contribute to something.

lol; Windowscentral.com topic sentence: “Microsoft's ability to acquire successful companies and then destroy them needs to be studied. Today, we're talking about GitHub.”

More to the point the uptime fiasco(es) aren’t even the biggest issue. The biggest issue is that microsoft is not secure. Take it as a rule of thumb and you’ll never be disappointed, and hopefully never compromised.

Of course microslop acquiring it was the signal to move. Of course it was.

Bonus schadenfreude in blaming Nadella. As if he isn’t doing exactly what they want him to do. As if Balmer wouldn’t be upside down in a smoking hole in the ground by this point.
