I have written patches for countless applications I use. I'm not denying GitHub is good or valuable, but luckily we live in a world of gray areas and nuance. I'm getting a bit frustrated. The proposition is really, despite how everyone wants to twist it, quite simple. I spend my life on OSS, I haven't had a paycheck in 5+ years. I'm sick and tired of pouring my expertise and knowledge and investment into platforms that I can't fix. I use closed-source firmware, and that's it. My "unfree" predicates for my NixOS machines contain nothing. That's by design after 25+ years of using computers and applying the same philosophy. I build software and adopt software for the long-term, and every time I break my "okay, this time" rule, I get burned. Case in point, the GitHub issues *that don't exist anymore because GH memory-holed them* And yes, I spent less time moving my shit to sourcehut and getting CI going there than I did spending additional days working around GitHub. Obviously this isn't feasible for a large project overnight, but responsible projects are absolutely entertaining conversations about it.
