Don’t trust Microsoft extends to GitHub as well. Same company and same issues. GitHub probably has even more of developer mindshare and should get equal outrage as this. At least VS Code is open source.

This kills me because I use and love GitHub. I’ve tried Gitlab a few times and we do use it at my day job, but I keep coming back to GitHub for personal use.

  GitLab is fine and well-integrated, but it can be heavy and slow. There are alternatives. Sourcehut, Gitea, Codeberg (runs Gitea), GNU Savannah, or just plain cgit. It isn't a binary choice. I think GitHub might actually be best suited for personal projects. Projects aimed at others is now making contributors accept GitHub's proprietary ToS, vendor lock-in, and whatever experimental ways they plan to scan and profit from your code by offering it for "free".

Incredibly smart move from MS to buy github.

  Certainly is neo-EEE as developer "influencers" claim M$ has turned a new leaf

  Never rely on GitHub features, like issues, wiki or actions. While the repo itself cannot lock you in, theses can.
