if you're responsible for a FOSS project, it's now time to consider how you can run your project without relying on the US.like, using GitHub is fine. Continue using it - I do, too, and there's a lot of value of having projects centralized in one place.but you **need** to make sure you have a contingency plan. is your repo with all branches and metadata backed up somewhere else? do you own your project's website, discussion forums, or something else that allows you to point your users and contributors to a new place if you need to?can you continue work on your project if US-big-tech decides your very existence is no longer allowed?now is the time to take inventory and build backups.

@mangeurdenuage @denschub always call it Microsoft GitHub, never leave it off. Add a TM for extra salt

@dowitcher @denschub you mean the fork of the linux kernel that they coopted?? Using the linux foundation [aka a microsoft front organization]?? Which they used to force linus torvalds to submit to their whim, and bend the knee, kicking him out of his own project before letting him in again after he submitted?Yeah fuck that noise

@get @denschub I wish they'd take this opportunity to add federation to Gitea, which would solve the Github centralization problem, but instead they're too busy making a gay furry version of it with limpwristed leftist lingo called Forge Joe or whatever.

@denschub@mastodon.schub.social using GitHub is fineIt is not, it's a proprietary platform that harvests your data to train Yet Another Shitty LLM. It's always been a mediocre-at-best proprietary platform, let's not pretend it is anything more than that.there's a lot of value of having projects centralized in one place.I'd argue there's a lot more value in standardizing on using mailing lists and decentralized development. You wouldn't be having this entire issue/toot if you did, as there wouldn't be a big issue for any of your projects if their sources and development practices were properly decentralized.You've correctly identified an issue, so I can only wonder why you're trying to tell yourself it's not an issue "just yet". Are you just going to wait, knowing it's going to become a bigger issue as you wait? Or will you actually learn from your mistake and fix it before it blows up?Use a decentralized approach to your projects. If you cannot, use a free (as in freedom) platform.

@dowitcher @denschub @jeffcliff Don't forget that Linux is only a kernel, thus it's just Linux, although if you wish to stress that Linux is only a kernel, you should write; the kernel Linux.The patches microsoft make are mostly only useful to them (i.e. the driver that interfaces with proprietary hyper-v), or break things.When it comes to contributions to Linux, is it really a contribution if it's not licensed GPLv2-or-later and is for free software?
