Author claims that #middlepowers cannot go it alone without #major #power support, and by the end opines that the #US is still the #only major power that could #guarantee #safety with its #military #hegemony. Some bits of the analysis seem flawed, but worth the read.

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?
