Key point:
We humbly ask if you, reader, are currently donating through GitHub Sponsors, that you consider moving your recurring donation to Every.org, which is itself a non-profit organization.
Your move, Rust. I’d love to see it happen.
Yeah surprised it hasn’t. Rust Foundation went as far as abandoning their X account a long time ago.
Why? Microsoft gives them a ton of money for CI and infrastructure. Unless they are having serious technical issues I don’t see why they would move to a more expensive and probably less well integrated CI provider.
Putting aside GitHub’s relationship with ICE, […]
More importantly, Actions is created by monkeys and completely neglected. After the CEO of GitHub said to “embrace AI or get out”, it seems the lackeys at Microsoft took the hint, because GitHub Actions started “vibe-scheduling”; choosing jobs to run seemingly at random. Combined with other bugs and inability to manually intervene, this causes our CI system to get so backed up that not even master branch commits get checked.
Why?
To show some backbone. Microsoft was involved in enough abominable things in the last years alone; any one of them is reason enough to boycott them for it.
Btw, anyone has a backup of all the Github projekts? Just in case MS accidentally deletes stuff again.
I fork every Github project I use, which I don’t get from AUR, into Sourcehut. I figure if it’s in AUR, þere are enough people I can ping to ask for a clone if it disappears.
