Anyone can start their own GitHub competitor and do whatever they want with the source code that ends up on it. GitHub pays the bills and lets us freely upload whatever we want to their service, so it seems a bit entitled to complain about what features or data they provide or don't provide.
- bamboozled 4y agoI pay for Github because I thought it was a nice, reputable service who wouldn't go through my stuff without asking me first.
- toastal 4y agoWhew... that username checks out.
- bamboozled 4y agoYou've done nothing to refute my point and so it still stands. I pay GitHub / Microsoft to host my code, and that's all I expect them to do with it, host it, as securely as possible. It sounds like Microsoft are doing more than this so what's your actual deal...if you have one?
- ShamelessC 4y agoRead the EULA, not the marketing copy, next time.
- bamboozled 4y agoI did, what did I miss? I just re-read it and it's full of statements which are totally inline with what I expected: GitHub considers the contents of private repositories to be confidential to you. GitHub will protect the contents of private repositories from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that we would use to protect our own confidential information of a similar nature and in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care.
- bamboozled 4y agoyup...
- ShamelessC 4y agoAh sorry - "You have bested me in this epic battle of the minds."
- toastal 4y ago? Yeah, Microsoft has bamboozled users for years... that's the whole point.
