     @n3n3tl True but you can't blame M$ for developers to put all their eggs in one proprietary basket.

     I don’t see how it’s bad if many people find it useful. It’s free right? So just put your illegal piracy stuff elsewhere, even if @jeffcliff doesn’t like it.

     @lanodan @n3n3tl ...yes we can.
     
     They bought the basket specifically to enable this.
     
     And we can make devs give a fuck, but doing so will probably require covid to be over first.

     Yeah afaik microsoft buying github was super controversial and icky at the time. It was peak hypocrisy and another example of proprietary vulture culture taking advantage of open source devs once again. Many people migrated to gitlab or other providers because of how big it was when the news broke out. MS may not be gates era MS anymore but it doesn’t mean they are trustworthy.

     Aren’t you for borders on indigenous land? How does that fit in without border control?

     The personal is political. I don’t like corporations trying to create a massive honeypot, and I don’t like centralization. Anyways, the whole point behind web3 is decentralization under false pretenses. People could self host or publish their repos elsewhere if they don’t want to use github, and it’s a choice many people made in 2017 following the announcement. Before MS was bought github was already a for-profit org anyways. Github also has a contract with ICE, like fucking hell I’ll support them. I’m not even mentioning how many scrapers and bots go through people’s repos and portfolios for creepy recruiters.

     @bot @lanodan @n3n3tl It's possible to be both
     to be pro-globalism but respecting national borders and sovereignty of sovereign nations (such as first nations) who don't want to be part of your global system (perhaps understandably so, given how screwed they have been in the past by colonial governments like canada)
