@vaporeon_ furmer
@vaporeon_ i still hate that it’s a feature at all though, purrsonally
@aescling Definitely, and I think free software projects should move off GitHub (It's controlled by the enemy (Microsoft)! It promotes "AI" trash! Why are you still on there?!) and onto some free software solution if at all possible
Just, disappointingly few of them have done that :(
@aescling I do admit that I have a GitHub account under my deadname, I think I created it before they got bought by Microsoft, and I kept it around because I needed it for my thesis (which involved extending an existing program whose source code is on GitHub)... I suppose I could delete it now, but I do worry that such a situation will come up again, and I'm not sure whether I have the energy to fight such a requirement (especially since surely there was no malicious intent, it was just the easiest way for them to get a shared Git repository most likely)
But whenever I finish any of my current projects, I promise that the source code will be on my personal website and not on GitHub
@vaporeon_ anyway, i’m sure the existence of this feature is not going to do anything to mitigate
’s distaste fur github lol
@aescling OK, so this is just the maintainers of this particular software being terrible, not GitHub pushing this onto everyone
Otherwise I'd be a lot more worried, since an unfortunately large number of free software projects are still on GitHub...
