RIP GitHub you will be forever remembered!
Today 4 June, 2018 the giant repo for almost all FOSS projects SOLD out to Micro$haft (microsoft)!
Just remember there can not be FOSS controlled by a company that REFUSES to give their own operating system's code out! They are ANTI FOSS! Micro$haft is a leach and by GitHub selling to them proves we can no longer trust them!
SET UP YOUR OWN GIT REPO SERVERS! GET OFF GITHUB! IT IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED! PLEASE FOSS community TAKE this warning seriously! We do NOT want centralized authority that HATES FOSS in charge of our repos!
They spent $7.5 Billion on this thing and now it might all disintegrate because it's the opposite of Microsoft's core philosophy of closed source.
Right lol they just don't get how much FOSS HATES them do they?
New FOSS Start up?
Time for a decentralized repo server @bigdeej?
Already part of shadow net ;) we realized this problem months ago and laughed at the irony of FOSS being hosted on a centralized platform. We just stepped up the efforts to get it out for FREE for ALL to host ANY PROJECT on a DECENTRALIZED GIT platform!
i like !
rest in peace
Jeepers!! Let's hope people heed the warnings, or those leeches will do what they do best.
INSANE isn't it? I can't even believe we are dealing with this! People need to be QUICK and realize this is NOT safe for FOSS!
How long before they re-write the terms of service and corner developers into altering the licensing of FOSS? Little-by-little I fear they will eventually cause a major change. Expect the arguments to include fears about software security, espionage, hacking, cyber terrorism and so on. Authorities have long had it in for FOSS on such grounds.
This looks like a major coup by microshaft and one has to concede that they have played it well. I'm not aware of alternative services that can compare to GitHub so let's hope large companies like the various Linux distributions will begin to create an alternative and start leading a migration? Look here, - the Russian Fedora distribution uses GitHub right now -
WATCH how fast my DECENTRALIZED p2p FOSS GIT service takes off ;)
well you just earned my follow
Thanks for appreciating my concern! Unlike those who for some CRAZY reason think I am spreading FUD for caring that MICRO$HAFT is buying GitHub... They didn't get the name Micro$haft growing up not sueing people like this: Microsoft_vs._MikeRoweSoft ;)
It is wrong for a software company to buy a software hosting service. If you are keeping your code on GitHub you are giving your code to Microsoft. How many of Microsoft competitors store their code on GitHub?
Thanks for your warning, your point of view is respected.
Thanks for sharing!
Save as many projects as possible on a blockchain- system ... finally every giant must surrender when faced with decentral solutions !
Oh look I just did that lol bye bye troll
Glad you did, not sure how you think I am trolling anyone by informing others of the potential threat this could be to all projects stored on GitHub though? What if they decide to just wipe out anyone's project that doesn't pay them? I think people should be careful. If that is trolling to you, then I guess I am trolling.
