    Github is probably the biggest code hosting platform. There is literally no evidence that Microsoft will discontinue it… And they’ve spent a huge amount of time integrating it. It also generates 1 billion in revenue, so why would Microsoft sell it? Furthermore, its free for open source…

    Self hosting is part of the reason our project failed… We wasted a lot of time with that stuff. We used Mercurial, whatever the Canonical one was, and git, and we wasted a lot of time.

    Github works, and is well integrated to everything

    So… just to repeat myself for the 300th time

    This is a good example of why people use GitHub

    Because it’s an advantage that it’s hosted by a large company like Microsoft. There’s very little chance it’s going to be shut down or sold off. So developers don’t need to worry about their infrastructure as much

    One of our projects failed because we got caught up in infrastructure.

    It’s funny though how the people who are the most vocal against GitHub aren’t responding to this post. But they’re happy to make the biggest deal about every little button on it…

    You didn’t KICK him out… He still likely would have won tbh. But Kamala is a better fit. People are excited for the first time

    And demand she steps down? You’re not asking her to step down, you’re seemingly trying to let Trump win… Because he will if she does.

    And if trump wins, the consequences will be dire… Worldwide… It will be a return to bigotry, anti-environment and he’s already given hints that he’ll try to extend his term to be permanent…

    With him on charge, we might as well give up on global warming and accept it… It’s REALLY bad.

    Based on everything I’ve seen, Kamala will likely fight for the people… Not for herself. There is so much more else going on, and despite this, I believe she’ll do an amazing job

    Absolutely it can.

    But Redhat is a huge contributor

    The biggest threat that Linux faces isn’t from Microsoft or other companies. Over the past 30 years, I’ve noticed it is actually from the community. I’ve seen so many cases where the community blows things out of proportion and scares off developers. It sucks. Linux and open source would be so much more successful if we didn’t constantly make open source toxic for companies

    Poor people like Lennart Poettering get shat on constantly too. He could get a much better paying job

    Even right now… VSCode. It’s open source and MIT. People are STILL crapping on Microsoft and saying stuff like “oh wait for the enshittification”, instead of thanking them, or encouraging them for more

    It’s bonkers… There’s so much negative reinforcement out there that it’s scaring people away

  • Auzy@beehaw.orgtoProgramming@programming.dev•Do you use VS Code?

    Err… Those are bad examples.

    Skype was bad before microsoft lol. If anything, Microsoft actually made it more usable… Skype was NEVER good lol

    And very few people in the real world have an issue with Github. The evidence is that you’ll notice projects aren’t moving away from it, and Github is growing fast. I found there’s a small number of people making 99.99% of the noise (like the first main “enshiffication” post on Lemmy, which was mainly pointing towards comments made by a developer without many commits and as a open source project, they weren’t even paying for github). If you want a good example, Sourceforge would be a better one (although, it’s possible even they cleaned up their act)

    Nobody would call VS Code bloated or anything. There are some things I don’t like, but i have tried so many IDE’s in the past 20 years, and can honestly say that VS Code survived because its hugely easier, and it’s actually a high quality product. Anyone who has tried stuff like Atom or Eclipse will attest to that (Eclipse was great at the time, but was painfully slow)

    I did see a post about a rust one upcoming that did seem interesting, but its really just a slightly faster version of VS Code (and VS Code itself is no slouch).
