What you say is 100% true. And also 100% irrelevant to the topic at hand. The latter is the problem.

- toastal 4y agoIt's relevant. The article has a sarcastic section asserting that GitHub is an industry standard and job requirement. What I don't like seeing is a new generation thinking DVCS implies Microsoft GitHub.
- ZephyrBlu 4y ago> What I don't like seeing is a new generation thinking DVCS implies Microsoft GitHub It does. GitHub won. Git and GitHub are synonymous now.
- toastal 4y agoNo it's not. Every time they have an outage more folks jump to other Git hosting alternatives. The biggest free software projects like Freedesktop, GNOME, KDE, are all self-hosting GitLab. Folks concerned with their data and the idea of US sanctions and corporate control look at projects like Codeberg. and Folks tired of slow UIs and ‘social’ moved to SourceHut and cgit. The thing that keeps replenishing the proprietary platform is new developers being told they need to put their projects on Microsoft GitHub. Arguing decentralized version control, like Git, should have a centralized home is antithetical to the tool.
