Angry Devs Vow to Flee GitHub Copilot as Metered Billing Takes Hold, by @theregister:

Microsoft Won.

In the beginning, Steve Ballmer famously called Linux a "cancer" because its copyleft mechanism threatened Microsoft's proprietary software license margins. They tried to destroy it with FUD. They lost because open source's community-driven distribution velocity was unstoppable.

Then, Microsoft pivoted. They bought GitHub. It was an acquisition of a software supply chain.

And now, Microsoft extinguishes: they use an LLM to launder the logic of GitHub repositories, rendering the licenses written inside of them completely toothless. By making the code inside a repository something that can be synthesized on demand, Microsoft shifts the economic leverage away from developers and locks it into the platform that can host and generate code.

Screenshot of Github Pull Requests tab of chibi-scheme repository. But that isn’t the most important part. The important part is that Pull requests tab has a badge with 4 (open PRs) in it, but the contents of the tab list only one. This pile of dung cannot even count things properly.

Das gibt fuer viele Entwickler:innen heute ein boeses Erwachen, denn #Github #Copilot stellt heute auf ne Token-based Abrechnung um.

Bei einigen werden die monatlichen Rechnungen um das 25-fache steigen und zeigt wunderbar, wie die diversen Betreiber von AI-Fabs um Profitabilitaet kaempfen.

Es wird ein Hauen und Stechen!

To leave GitHub is a good idea, for several reasons.

A quote: 'The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.' This is not new. This is capitalism.

@Codeberg
How long can a migration from #Microsoft #GitHub to #forgejo at #Codeberg take?
My current migration is taking 17 hours and still working.

Used a "Token (classic)" from Microsoft GitHub.

Ironically, since moving to @Codeberg I've had nothing but problems. I keep getting time outs and refused connections when pushing, and now the Pure Blog updater is broken because it can't pull from Codeberg.

No issues reported on their end, but it's definitely not a Pure Blog issue as I updated a number of sites yesterday.

I'm seriously considering a switch back to #GitHub.

So, #GitHub has been hacked.

With so many posts popping up about “leaving GitHub” or discussing how poor the experience overall is with that platform, I will share my old post again on moving over to SourceHut :)

I'm running Forgejo in a container now to isolate SSH access, but I also had it installed directly for some time.

This is what I use now, after #selfhosting Apache SVN, Perforce, Tuleap, RhodeCode, Phorge and Gitea so far.
