as a user you literally are not the problem. the problem is the monopolization of technology by a small group of investors, which makes it nearly impossible for alternatives to rise.
why isn't a platform like Github part of the commons instead of a private, proprietary fiefdom? why is it instead the private property of, and part of the investment portfolio of, a person who says things like: "As the majority of hobbyists must be aware, most of you steal your software."
- zomglings 4y agoI do think that I am part of the problem. Although there is no commons alternative, there is Sourcehut - run by a team that is dedicated to the principles of free software. I should be giving them the money that I spend on GitHub. At the very least, I should be giving them more money than I give GitHub... I will do that immediately.
- not2b 4y agoSourcehut is also subject to US law and would have to take down your project if this company files a false claim against you. The problem in this case isn't GitHub, it's the filing of false DMCA notices. And that's not solely a US problem, it can happen in the EU as well.
