       Now that Github has lost is last vestige of independence, how long before it becomes as unfriendly as Teams?https://www.theverge.com/news/757461/microsoft-github-thomas-dohmke-resignation-coreai-team-transition'Microsoft is moving GitHub even more closely into its CoreAI team, following the resignation of GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke today.... Jay Parikh, head of CoreAI, described his vision of an AI agent factory in an interview with Notepad earlier this year, and how he is convincing the developer division of Microsoft to adopt AI. “Just like how Bill [Gates] had this idea of Microsoft being a bunch of software developers building a bunch of software, I want our platform, for any enterprise or any organization, to be able to be the thing they turn into their own agent factory,” said Parikh.'

       @leighelse heh. Yep. Best thing to do is abandon GitHub - it's too late, it's well on the way to becoming a slop source. Fwiw, I can report that hosting Forgejo is surprisingly easy. I hear there might be a local 'as-a-service' offering here in NZ before too long.

       @Niall @leighelse out of idle curiosity 🙃 any thoughts on how much you'd think it reasonable to pay per month for such a service?

       @lightweight @Niall I host git on my NAS, which is at the moment backed up to Dropbox over night.

       @lightweight @leighelse honestly don't have a feel for it. So used to everything being 'free'

       @Niall @leighelse yes, that 'free' is a tricky thing for those trying to offer viable alternatives...
