I am thinking of migrating all my code from there to self hosted.
If now github is part of the Ai team at microsoft then I really don't want to give them more of my code as Im kind of moving on from open source to making projects closed, I dont see a reason to have a closed source project there

#102I wonder how much crime the ms has committed by training their AI on someone else’s code. I wonder if they dipped their fingers in private repositories, too.

Yes. I've also used this when leaving a job, albeit with a slight modification since the job did not provide fish. I suppose you could read it with the subtext that the dolphins are saying "see ya suckers" but I think it's more appropriate to read it as the dolphins actually saying "thank you" even though things didn't entirely work out.
If I remember correctly, the dolphins had tried to warn humanity without success and eventually gave up and left, so the “see ya suckers” reading doesn’t quite track.
Maybe I'm reading "see ya suckers" wrong, but IMHO that reading absolutely tracks.
"See ya suckers... [we tried to warn you]"

Also heard good things about Forgejo.
That's what gitea is called nowadays. The name changes every few years
They're different projects.

Infernally known as the "move fast break things" org
I mean, to be fair, it seems to be the prevailing culture in GitHub for a while now, to quote Nat Friedman[1]; "It's important to do things fast . . . Going fast makes you focus on what's important; there's no time for bullshit". [1] https://nat.org/
Well, Nat Friedman is an expert++ level bullshitter, so he should know all about bullshit. /s

One of my reports was a hardcore HHGG fan, including carrying a towel on towel day. He signed off with the "so long and thanks for all the fish", and I don't think anyone read anything negative into this. In fact, while that was some years ago, it was a tight-knit team and we still meet up for dinner with the original team members about 2-3x a year :)
Yeah. I always interpreted that quote as the dolphins saying “thanks, it was fun while it lasted”

#107>guiding us into the age of Copilot and AI, it has been the ride of a lifetime. Cool. Can we get faster load times on that mess of a SPA now instead of more AI stuff?
I mean it’s Microsoft. The UI experience will decline until it reaches Teams level. A good opportunity for a new git hosting service to emerge to fill the void.
This is the right time for the Europeans to wake up!

Imagine if the European Union adds a mandate to say something along the lines of a web app can't use x amount of resources as it's just too much and encourages spending more on RAM unnecessarily instead of learning to make more efficient software.

Given that it’s going to be a part of “Microsoft CoreAI organization”, whatever that is, there will be even more AI stuff.
I don't mind more AI stuff even if I don't use it. The fact that they've been neglecting the core user experience is more of my complaint
