    1. Did Your Code Project Just Break? It Might Be GitHub’s Fault
      from How-To Geek
      GitHub hosts code repositories for countless different projects, from personal websites to popular apps like VLC Media Player. If you have a script, application, or other project that relies on GitHub, it may have just been broken.

    1. GitHub's new privacy policy sparks backlash over tracking cookies
      from BleepingComputer
      Developers are furious at GitHub's upcoming privacy policy changes that would allow GitHub to place tracking cookies on some of its subdomains. The Microsoft subsidiary announced this month, it would be adding "non-essential cookies" on some marketing web pages starting in September, and offered a 30-day "comment period."

    I'm starting to wonder whether operating a shared #code-hosting platform is only possible with sponsorship. #Gitorious collapsed because their paid hosting couldn't cover their costs (which includes the cost of free hosting). I don't believe #Github ever publicly released figures, but I do remember hearing a rumor that they were not profitable before #Microsoft purchased them. #Bitbucket still persists, but #Atlassian has made so many changes to their offerings that IMO, using their platform is putting everything that touches it at risk. #SourceForge went to all sorts of dangerous extremes to try to monetize the huge number of repositories they host (most of which appear to be residue of projects that have either died or moved their active repos elsewhere).

    #Darcs_Hub ( #Darcs ), #The_Nest ( #Pijul ), and #ChiselApp ( #Fossil ) are all too small to experience the tremendous cost factors.

    #GitHub's proprietariness has always been an unseen landmine, but like its predecessors #SourceForge, #GoogleCode, #CodePlex etc, projects have chosen based on present convenience (FOSS friendly, zero or low price for non-profit projects and individuals, large numbers of users --> potential for drive-by contributions). However, the big issue with GH and the others listed above was that to some degree, they were the center of gravity for code-hosting in their respective time periods.

    #DVCS software such as Git, Breezy, Mercurial, Fossil, Darcs, Pijul and so on could be used to enable a much more distributed hosting model--and should be. If people and projects do not have to join a specific #code-hosting site in order to contribute to a project / attract contributors, the allure of sites like GitHub starts to fade.

    > Deleted all the forks I had on GitHub, moved the very few repos I care about over to Codeberg

    I believe moving over to #Codeberg is a big improvement over relying on #GitHub (which, as #SourceForge once was, is the center of gravity for FOSS projects' development).

    I closed all my repos on GH some years back. I kept one or two repos on #BitBucket for years, but they were basically dead. When BB rid itself of #Mercurial ( #hg ) and switched solely to #git, I took advantage of the opportunity to close my account there.

    That said, large numbers of people moving en mass from GitHub to Codeberg would just move the problem to a different platform. The problem being people rely heavily on a centralized service.

    As for GitHub, I still have my account, and with job-hunting, I really need to put something there. Seriously, I have had some places send rejection notices because they couldn't see any evidence (on GitHub) that I knew anything about the job. But I really only want GH to be a secondary mirror of a main repo hosted elsewhere.

    Thansk for everyone who recommended #Codeberg to their friends, collaborators and favourite projects.

    Although not everyone moved to Codeberg because of this (which is fine!), we spread awareness about alternatives and that development does not equal #Git**b. This is what matters!

    Thank you and keep going - Tell your friends! 💙

    I believe we’re at the Extinguish step of the Embrace-Extend-Extinguish plan of #Microsoft acquiring #GitHub .

    ♲ @me@social.catgirl.is: An open source developer pushed an update removing all functionality and deleted their project from GitHub (going so far as to use git push --force to purge the Git commit tree).

    GitHub and Microsoft used this library internally so they reversed the changes and banned them from GitHub for deleting their project.

    The issue here is GitHub said you are not allowed to delete your project.

    RT @slimsag@twitter.com

    Out of 2,000,000+ of the top repositories on #GitHub, 2,200+ have a #Discord invite, while 1,400+ have a #Matrix @element_hq@twitter.com invite, in their repository somewhere. Thought that was an interesting statistic!

    Logged into #GitHub for the first time in years. It immediately asked me to verify my e-mail address (the same one I've had and verified with them years ago). I'm going to have to create another address (a public one) to use, so I can generate new #GPG keys.

    Going to have to put something up there for job-hunting purposes. I'll use it as a backup or something, so I've got content there, but whatever I do is not entirely dependent on their goodwill. We all know that we shouldn't willingly give corporations the ability to control us, but I'm hoping to be one of the few that acts on this knowledge.

    @geniusmusing I’ll read the article later, but does this mean that #Microsoft is going to assist in overturning the vastly unjust #DMCA law? I mean, #GitHub is significant to developers, but to the outside world, they’re invisible. But if Microsoft as a whole says “DMCA is unfair, unjust, and hurting copyright and patent dependent industries by enabling cartels like #RIAA and #MPAA to freely trample on smaller, independent content producers and the people who just want to enjoy music and movies”, some of those empty-headed congressionals might listen.
