I'm not much of a programmer, but why arern't more people just using GitLab instead of GitHub?

    Why go from corporate to corporate platform? Codeberg exists.

    Still learning git but apparently there's some "power features", and, aside from that, it's the same BS network effect that keeps everyone on all the abusive platforms.

    Discoverability, it's where all the other people already stashed their code, sunk cost, etc...

    We'd have an even bigger RAM shortage if so.

    Git repos don't really take many resources to host, look at Forgejo, also, the RAM shortage is very much artificial, there is no lack of RAM, it's just that it's all being sold all to a few companies
