Microsoft bought GitHub for $7.5 billion in 2018 but since the current CEO is leaving, Microsoft is now set to gain even more control over the platform likely fucking up the little independence Github users once held.
For those who may not be aware, GitHub was once a champion of open-source software, providing a platform for developers to collaborate and share their work. However, with Microsofts faggot ass, I am now worried that the platform's priorities will shift towards more commercial and proprietary interests.
For those looking to obtain more control over their Software Repositories, I encourage you to consider making the switch to Riseup's 0xacab a Open-Source, Decentralized, and Community-Driven Platform!

None of the links work. You can post proper working links in this sub, everything requires approval anyway.
Fix the issues. I'm this close to just nuking the thread.

Done!
iI'll leave the rest for /u/drisdane to go through.
It's a known link. I think I even have an account there.
Damn my github account has a long history of stupid projects and contributions on it, I don't think I can let go of it so easily ;-;
Don't worry, your secret's safe with me. I also have a graveyard of embarrassing projects on my old GitHub.
