Comment on Suggestions for speeding up Alt tech adoption, the GETTR way
masterofballs@wolfballs.com 2 years agoIll be migrating to Gitea for every thing soon. They just got activity pub to work so its joining the fediverse. I've got hundreds of github projects on my real life profile I'll have to migrate.
Ooooh, I keep learning so many new things on this site. Thank you my friend, I really really appreciate it !
You heard about the open source dev, who poisoned his packages for npm ? Color.js author ? He was protesting that he never gets paid to maintain, while huge companies make big $$ from his work. Github deleted his entire account and took over all his projects.......
Absolute fuckers
That's crazy. No I never heard about it. But if he didn't want them to use his code he could have made a license that said they needed to pay him money.
Its still his repo and code. He can make whatever change he feels like. Big Brother didn't like that, so they just stole his shit
git is decentralized though. Everyone can have a copy. I guess he doesn't technically have the right to edit Microsoft's copy. Definitely a reason to self host though. Fuck gates
