GitHub makes FOSS no longer stone age.
- marginalia_nu 5y agoGitHub also makes FOSS rent its web presence from Microsoft.
- gaius_baltar 5y ago> GitHub makes FOSS no longer stone age. Until GH or Microsoft does dislikes the project and kills it, with all the PRs, bug reports, etc. Email makes things safer.

- rurban 5y agoFree software hates GitHub and Gitlab. Because it's non-free
- RealStickman_ 5y agoGitlab is open core, so basic functions you get with the free tier can be self hosted.
- eternityforest 5y agoGitHub is nonfree but it's just a UI for git. If it disappears or goes in the chamberpot, everyone can go to GitLab or self host. At most people would lose the issues. It also doesn't handle sensitive data(It's all public!) and it can't really change stuff easily without messing up the hashes and making it quickly noticeable. Although I suppose on a large project it could slip in commits nobody would notice. Even the actions bot is open source!
