     @harrysintonen As long as there's a "delete account" button, github has all the features I need!

     @harrysintonen@infosec.exchange People will spend weeks trying to figure out how to make some shitty proprietary platform slightly less annoying to use, when they could just spend an afternoon to learn to use better software.

     @tyil @harrysintonen Not even an afternoon in many cases, as some developers just use git and changing git hosts is as easy as a `git remote` edit.

     That's exactly what they set out to do and get.

     @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @harrysintonen@infosec.exchange Sadly, it is only "some" going by what I see at my job. The majority of "developers" relegate their git interactions to their IDE, in which VSCode (of all choices) is becoming the norm, or if they use GitHub itself, the "Github Desktop" client.
     
     Its as if they are actively seeking out the worst experience they can get.

     but can you even rely on that feature without allowing it to install and run nonfree software on your browser?

     @lxo If I never let it install and run nonfree software on my browser, I wouldn't have an account to delete in the first place.
     (I naively hope they have some sort of support email that would let me get my account deleted if I so desired, but knowing what I know of modern companies, I think otherwise.)
