Pretty much no one quit GitHub over the Microsoft acquisition

>At that time, some warned of a mass exodus from GitHub to GitLab and other rival code repositories. As Roberto Galoppini has pointed out, however, no such exodus has happened. There are currently 85 million code repositories on GitHub, and only a lilliputian fraction of those have exited.

>So, if you bolted from GitHub because you feared the Redmond beast, it may be time to eat some humble pie and come back. There aren't many of you, so there will be plenty of pie to go around.

>most people blindly trust the botnet
Wow what a surprise!!

Not unexpected, nobody stopped using linux after microsoft bought into the linux foundation board

I'm waiting for microsoft to fuck up, as they inevitably will, then I'll bolt. Not worth my time until then.

>and come back
Okay, how much were they paid?

So what's the realistic threat model that Microsoft poses towards any code I have on github?

I push to both now.

Can someone inform me why this happened in the first place? Github is closed source unlike gitlab

Fucking things up takes time. Anyone with half a brain isn't going to wait and see.

>he thinks websites can be open source

>He thinks that software that happens to use HTTP and HTML/CSS/JS as its UI can't be open source

Because most people probably usually enjoy not obliterating their data to oblivion.

There's never any way to truly verify what you're really running, retard.

you dont have to worry about server-side code though you brainlet, you care about client code aka what executes on YOUR machine

I never understood this. A lot of small companies (especially st*rtups) and similar work on sensitive projects and valuable, private data that amazon, google, microsoft, and others would love to get their hands on to develop their own products, and yet these same companies and people blindly store said projects and data right on their biggest competitor's servers. What's stopping those big companies from literally stealing the little guys' work?

they'll get fines if they steal or abuse power
read their terms of service for what the are and aren't allowed to do, which can be upheld in court

by that metric github and facebook are open source

>st*rtups
do you have to be a fucking faggot
do you

I left and am definitely not coming back, even if I was the only one. You simply don't get it, people like us aren't going where most people or money opportunities are, we're simply trying to do right things.

no because the code is obfuscated (at least on facebook)

Based. I'm in the same boat, my principles matter more to me than the majority. After all that's what gives us meaning and satisfaction in the end
anyway.
Peace

this is assuming that multinational corporations are held to the same standards as we peons are
they aren't

also, i imagine this study isn't taking into account repositories that were left vacant and later cloned on gitlab. i know for a fact that the extraflags guys over on Jow Forums migrated to gitlab, as well as one of the more popular repositories over on the solus forums - but both left their github repositories open but un-updated. the oneechanx github was closed however, but it's definitely a minority case.
i'd like to see the number of repositories who had an immediate decrease in activity following the microsoft announcement.

They wouldn't publish any data that puts them in a bad light.

Everything is fine, hahaha, come back pls, nobody left in the first place so please come back to github

It's like why Jow Forums is still really the only usable English imageboard out there even though there's been over 30 other chans with better software features and better staff even; size is power.

We simply cannot ignore this girth,

>>So, if you bolted from GitHub because you feared the Redmond beast, it may be time to eat some humble pie and come back. There aren't many of you, so there will be plenty of pie to go around.
I don't understand. Not very many left over the Microsoft thing, but why does it mean that those who did should come back? What's the logic here?

>What's the logic here?
What logic? You're on Jow Forums, m8

I was talking about the article. Why would those who left come back to GitHub because not that many left?

alt-right > left

its a paid article probably

i personally switched to gitlab and i was pleasantly surprised, i can have private repositories and automated testing for free unlike github

>using fugitive and not based magit

Practically all current st*rtups are scams or failures in the making, if not already done.

>what are blockchain-based services?

>but why does it mean that those who did should come back? What's the logic here?

They're idiots for thinking a lot of people left. Github is a more humble platform to work on than the alternatives.

>They're idiots for thinking a lot of people left.
Let's assume they're right. But why should they come back because as many didn't leave as they assumed?
