That's a good reminder for developers in particular to AVOID being tied to any platform and being spread in multiple countries to remain free if one contry decide something against another hitting also innocents in the middle (think for instance about sizing of private citizens assets in case of war, some might have a role, others not at all but all are hit and that's not a new thing).
Nothing wrong in using a free code hosting just to host code, many things are disasters waiting to happening depending on their infra for development.
For citizens it's the same: we have countless of example of "suspended accounts" not ONLY for government requests, using BUT not depending on any specific third party is good, depending is a threat. Or the classic: using but not depending is free market, depending is monopoly etc.
- ganzuul 5y agoThe infra is git.
- kkfx 5y agoYes, and no. Many depend on PR to develop, many use GH CI and other services. So yes, if you have the repo you are not tied, but no, if you use other GitHub services, have no ML to communicate, have no personal project website etc you are in a very dangerous position.
