    1. I Am Moving Away from GitHub | Gavin D. Howard
      I cannot trust GitHub anymore. This is why.

    Logged into #GitHub for the first time in years. It immediately asked me to verify my e-mail address (the same one I've had and verified with them years ago). I'm going to have to create another address (a public one) to use, so I can generate new #GPG keys.

    Going to have to put something up there for job-hunting purposes. I'll use it as a backup or something, so I've got content there, but whatever I do is not entirely dependent on their goodwill. We all know that we shouldn't willingly give corporations the ability to control us, but I'm hoping to be one of the few that acts on this knowledge.

    @geniusmusing I’ll read the article later, but does this mean that #Microsoft is going to assist in overturning the vastly unjust #DMCA law? I mean, #GitHub is significant to developers, but to the outside world, they’re invisible. But if Microsoft as a whole says “DMCA is unfair, unjust, and hurting copyright and patent dependent industries by enabling cartels like #RIAA and #MPAA to freely trample on smaller, independent content producers and the people who just want to enjoy music and movies”, some of those empty-headed congressionals might listen.

    https://mikestone.me/i-dont-trust-github [mikestone me] "I Don't Trust GitHub"

    I'm not big on #GitHub (even before Microsoft bought them), but my impression of DMCA is that GH did not have any say about closing repositories.

    The claims in the DMCA request may have been garbage, but #Microsoft GitHub doesn't get to choose. They have to disable access to those repos or be liable for any further damages the copyright abusing #RIAA claimed.

    Due to an unfixed #GitHub bug, someone was able to use a PR to copy the YTDL repo's contents into the GitHub DMCA repo. https://github.com/github/dmca/tree/416da574

    I'm guessing the bug will be fixed within 24 hours.

    For those who are unaware, the #RIAA filed a #DMCA takedown request against #YouTube-DL's #GitHub repo. The claim is that ytdl is primarily used for circumventing copyright enforcement mechanisms.

    Planning to play with #Kallithea https://kallithea-scm.org/ soon. I’m still very much in favor of #Fossil https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki but I’m not rigid about it (the way many #Git and #Github users are). If either Git or #Mercurial ( #Hg ) https://www.mercurial-scm.org/ are appropriate for the situation, I’ll use them.

    I was on the #Pump.io #Github site yesterday and found a wiki page about servers. Not the usual Pump servers, but servers that provide services that most federated socnets generate from each instance.

    For example, RagTag\.io was to provide hashtagging for the network. There were statistics hubs, a firehose, a find-your-friends service, and more. The repositories are still there, mostly without being touched for 6-8 years, but the primary service point (such as ofirehose\.com and ragtag\.io are almost universally gone, replaced by domain squatters and the like).

    Considering placing some minor projects in my long-dormant #Github account. Primarily so that my current hitless streak in the job search will end.

    The most recent place sounded pretty ideal. I applied for a remote opening, and #sonTwo applied for an on-site position at the same place. Neither one of us has heard anything since. Yes, I know. #COVID-19 happened and most things are on hold or worse. But there wasn't even an e-mail message "we're currently in a holding pattern until the lockdowns end and our customers get back to work".

    Someone on SSB said they received a phishing message pretending to come from #GitHub. The link actually went to glt-hub\.com. Just so you're aware.

    Also, though I have not seen any sign of it, you can expect COVID-19 to be used by scammers.

    @moonman My feelings exactly. I didn't have anything original there ( #Github ) in the first place, but I had patches for others' projects. I removed everything several years ago. Yes, a couple of potential employers have passed on hiring me because my GH account was empty. I just (A) don't want to support centralized facilities like GH or SourceForge any more, when you can host your own #git / #hg / #darcs / fossil; and (B) as my role at work has changed more toward user support, I'm not creating or using such patches any more, so if someone found and started using them, they'd be potentially doing it wrong / importing security holes.

    ( For a while, I had my own #Fossil repo with some original stuff, but thanks to hosting changes are $EMPLOYER work scheduling / hotel Internet, that's all gone, too. )

    Microsoft y Coca-Cola


    ¿Que tienen en comun estas dos empresas?

    Aunque nos sorprenda, estas empresas invierten una cantidad insospechada en propaganda.

    Ambas empresas cruzan muy a menudo los limites de la etica y llegan mucho mas alla.

    #Microsoft adquiere #GitHub para tener acceso a una cantidad cuasi infinita de codigo y desarrolladores, es decir, a una fuerza de trabajo y de obras disponibles.

    #MS invierte millones en publicidad para mantener una imagen limpia.

    MS tiene comprados a cientos de politicos en los paises en desarrollo, donde consigue jugosos contratos:

    »Las escuelas publicas reciben licencias y parte de los equipos por uno o dos años. A cambio, los Estados se comprometen a comprar licencias por los siguientes 5, 10 o 15 años«

    De esta forma se construye una relacion de dependencia tecnologica de largo plazo. Gracias a esas relaciones, posteriormente esos paises contratan mas y mas licencias en otras areas e incluso en temas en donde se viola claramente la #independencia, #privacidad y hasta su propio #desarrollo futuro.

    Remember when a bunch of us were lamenting the end of #GitHub as a (somewhat) neutral development platform for #FreeCode development, after it got bought by #McSoft, and lots of people were trying to tell us it was fine? Now they're enforcing racist trade sanctions on behalf of the US government:
    https://www.aljazeera.com/ajimpact/locked-tech-company-comply-iran-sanctions-190731081829014.html

    Now I'm not one to say I told you so, but it's even clearer now how important code forge federation projects like #ForgeFed and #SourceHut are.
