cloudskaterProgrammers, can you inform me why people still use github? Its owned by Microsoft, promotes AI garbage, and that alone kind of makes it shitty as a place to host open source stuff in my book. As a simple plebian, am I missing something? I don't code, so does it offer something that other platforms don't?
pmonks (330ppm)@cloudskater Can’t speak for anyone else, but in my own case it’s solely due to switching costs. I do intend to switch, but it needs to be at a time when I have nothing more pressing and can afford to waste a few days moving all my projects to something else.
Glyph@pmonks @cloudskater "a few days" is definitely a programmerly level of optimism about even just the switching costs for most projects :)
@glyph @cloudskater Ha you’re probably right. I’m trying to drum up some enthusiasm for this thankless task, and lying to myself about probable duration is part of that! 😜
It would be so nice if we lived in a world where corporations didn’t constantly enshittify everything they touched. *sigh*
