    There are viable alternatives to GitHub already, especially if you need to host your own code.

    Gitlab comes to mind.

    Microsoft have actually been decent stewards of GitHub

      It’s impossible to imagine that they haven’t talked about nixxing something like Microsoft Activation Scripts though.

      The idea that a multinational corporation will be able to resist enshittification forever is pretty cute. These things happen over the course of many years. They haven’t turned it to shit yet, but it’s basically inevitable isn’t it?

        Microsoft is a services company anymore.

        You pirating their desktop operating system as an end user is something they don’t care a lot about if we’re being honest.

        Inevitable, idk. Maybe. Maybe not. I don’t trust them but they’ve acted in good faith so far as it pertains to GitHub.

        If they enshittify they have competitors.
