Are you guys fine with these new shenanigans from Github. I found a bug and wanted to check what has been the development on that, only to find out most of the discussion was hidden by github and requesting me to sign-in to view it.

It threw me straight back to when Microsoft acquired Github and the discussions around the future of opensource on a microsoft owned infrastructure, now microsoft is exploiting free work from the community to train its AI, and building walls around its product, are open source contributors fine with that ?

    Personally I’m impressed it took them so long to start driving it to the ground

    I moved to Codeberg

    Codeberg is a non-profit, community-led organization that aims to help free and open source projects prosper by giving them a safe and friendly home

      Git is already federated.

      New to me. Do you mean decentralized instead of federated?

          I would not say that distributed is federated. But i could not find a widely accepted definition of it.

          For example i would call FTP also not federated🤷‍♂️
