Genuinely infuriating that nearly the entire industry put their trust in GitHub, didn't divest after the Microsoft acquisition, and now that reliability has been garbage for a long while, seemingly no one cares. I see a few people talk about it on Fedi, but I would expect that from Fedi. Very few people I talk to about this seem to give a shit, and the fact that Microsoft isn't constantly being publicly dragged through the mud for fucking up the reliability of GitHub is not a good sign for the industry.

Put differently: if what is arguably one of the most important pieces of infrastructure in the software world is allowed to enshittify this hard, then we're truly cooked. Microsoft is actively learning lessons from being able to provide such poor service for such a critical piece of infrastructure. The lessons they are learning are not good.

@fancysandwiches@neuromatch.social I was thinking earlier today the Forgejo instance on my NAS probably has better uptime at this point..

@fancysandwiches@neuromatch.social GitHub also became de facto enabler of hyperscale ripoff by OpenAI and friends. "training" their LLMs on our code and then trying to replace us and shrink employment in our life's profession. they can go fuck themselves right off, to hell. despicable predators
