    I'm finding this kind of Pikachu surprised face meme worthy, really.

    We all know and knew that GitHub is Microsoft's. We all know that Microsoft is fucking evil, yet everyone and their mother have their main repo management with GitHub.

    W.T.F.

    what did you expect would happen, sooner rather than later?

    Well technically nothing has happened yet, but you can imagine the fun that is coming

    I honestly don't understand why Github hasn't been abandoned by users at this point. If I were a company, I'd either go to the competition, who is just as good if not better, or host in-house if the means are there.

    I'm just a freelancer and I gave up on github 3 years ago

    i’m having these same feelings about my youtube channel. they tell me i’m paranoid…

    ‘what, you think youtube is gonna go down?’

    it’s not that i think it’s gonna go down, but it’s that nothing gold can stay. i gotta get some eggs in a different basket.
