  • I get where this is coming from, and it’s good to move away from the libertarian fantasy that technology is neutral. But in practice, it is very hard to actually use.

    For example, you can’t use any GPL code that you may want to include, as that forces your project to also become GPL. And anyone using your code would also have to walk on eggshells for licensing, and they would probably just avoid it in the first place.

    It might be useful to some very specific end products, but this will likely not see a lot of adoption.














  • I just saw this late, but I agree here. Also they added CI to Github with very generous limits (which were promptly abused to mine bitcoin), whereas before you had to use something like TravisCI which hit free limits constantly or some complicated solution using your own Jenkins server. Not to mention very restrictive private repos before the MS takeover.

    People just like to complain because “Micro$oft bad” but when you point out the facts it’s just crickets…
