Maybe we need to call it Microsoft Github routinely? There's nothing on the Github website even mentioning Microsoft so am guessing they don't like people making the connection?
When I started calling the book review site Amazon Goodreads, judging by replies a lot of people didn't realise who owned Goodreads. (And the Goodreads website is also devoid of Amazon branding as if they don't want people noticing.)

@FediThing @mray Good thinking. I should do that more consistently.

@FediThing I like that a lot. So much of how a few huge companies come to own everything has to be that branding obscures that all these different things are all really one company. Not just the tech sector, for sure.

@FediThing @dentangle @mray I guess that is Copilot GitHub nowadays?

@FediThing @dentangle @mray I would add Amazon IMDB as a key example. Especially since Amazon produces/distributes movies and shows.
