What a nice, handy little #device — and it runs entirely on free #software.

You should skip over the first part—it’s full of too much #advertising and self-promotion. The second part about the hardware—from the case to the electronics—is fascinating. All these features make my heart race with excitement. The whole thing even runs on Linux, and you can easily run your own programs on it and build your own extensions. Let's be honest—Big Tech would never offer us something like this. They'd lock us out and force us to buy expensive, certified add-ons. It's a project well worth supporting. Unfortunately, the electronics are very expensive due to the #AI bubble. But if you're real hackers, you can build the parts you really need yourself using cheaper components.

Why I'm leaving #GitHub

source: jorijn.com/en/blog/leaving-git…

• GitHub logged 257 incidents in May 2025 to April 2026, 48 of them major. The CTO publicly apologised and said capacity needs to scale 30x to keep up with AI-driven load.
• In August 2025 GitHub stopped having its own CEO. It is now a unit of Microsoft's #CoreAI division, the same group building Copilot and the broader AI stack.
• On April 24, 2026 GitHub flipped #Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ user-interaction data to opt-in for AI training by default. There is no repository-level opt-out.
• US-jurisdictional risk under #FISA Section 702 and the CLOUD Act is unresolved. Microsoft's own attorney told the French Senate under oath he could not #guarantee #EU data was safe from silent US #government access.

So tell me why do they still use GitHub?
