wow gitlab must be truly evil for being proprietary

• jraph 4y ago
  When I write GitLab.com, I'm referring to the service, not the software project. The service relies on reCAPTCHA. The project provides the feature but does not require it nor enable it by default. I'm not going to say that GitLab is evil. I don't think it is. I don't see the world like this anyway. But yes, there are proprietary bits involved in Gitlab.com (and the service actually runs Gitlab EE afaik). What do you expect from me as a free software enthusiast? Close my eyes and suck it, or live to my principles, which is easy considering there are good open source forges that are also not based on an open core model? As cool as GitLab is to the eyes of many people, I don't like making unnecessary exceptions. Now, I would still be fine self-hosting GitLab CE. But from a technical perspective, Gitea is probably better than GitLab for me: it's lighter on resources and easier to maintain. I also like the UI better.

    on features that are useful for individual users but are only available enterprise-only, kinda makes sense. https://sso.tax/ https://sso.tax/ for example lol
