    GitHub has been in a downward spiral lately. Codeberg seems to be a better home for “small” open source. Large open-source organizations already use their forge.

      They’ll start making you censor READMEs to make advertisers happy.

    Wow thats actually more crazy than i though even Microslop would accomplish.

    Their stock price is being hammered and for good reason…

    Chat gpt will probably also add ads though. They were even open to sex bot chats as I understand it.

    The Enshittify will not stop.

    I really can’t believe this got the green light. GitHub has, or perhaps had, the trust of most of the open source world. It was used by everybody. This is so fucking short-sighted, it’s signing away your stock portfolio for a popsicle. Whatever couple bucks they get from this ad is worth absolutely nothing compared to the trust and good will they have flushed.

      Kinda hard to explain this concept to executives who have made their entire careers based off of dumb decisions like this. Problem is these execs never get fired or laid off, and instead get promoted upwards until all of Microsoft is doing the dumbest thing imaginable to their name. These people have never had consequence before, so are now destined to place those consequences on the company that’s kept them woefully employed.

        I think this is true with a lot of companies. Microsoft is a good example. Whoever is responsible for the current state of Windows 11 should be turfed as rapidly and efficiently as possible both for the good of Microsoft and to send a message that this sort of thing is not wanted anymore.

    We’re in that stage where Microsoft knows that we’re about to break up and instead of fixing itself it is leaning into that abusive boyfriend injecting themselves everywhere they can.
