When the short term cost of non-participation is far, far higher than the long term cost for the individual, is the ToS anything less than coercive? If you don't use github on principle, you're fucked. We need the public square ba

These corporations are actively hostile to users and it's insane that anyone trusts or interacts with them. Recently when setting up GrapheneOS (android OS distro), my login to google play services was delayed by 24 hours for 'sec
