chrome and firefox dropped support for it 5 years or so ago, it has had a lot of security issues over the years, was annoying over NAT, and there are better options for secure bulk transfers (sftp, rsync, etc)

I see, I assumed by ftp you also meant sftp.

Depending on your hardware (SBC), FTP can also be several times faster than SFTP for transferring files over a LAN. Though I'll admit to having used other protocols like torrents for large files that had bad transfers or other issues (low-quality connection issues causing dropped connections, etc).

Adding taxes to things does not help anyone and goes against free choice. A better alternative would be to create the incentives so that companies like these can be born in Europe.

Companies like Microsoft should not be given "incentives to exist" anywhere (at least as they exist currently). They are corrosive to the public good.

Are you sure? Enumerate all the competition and associated technilogy this has enabled for decades: tooling, software, etc.

I am not sure how someone should be entitled to prevent others from enjoying thr benefits of better technology.

If you do not like it, just skip it, as I do.

This doesn't work in when a market is run by oligopolies, you have to regulate to restore some sort of normalcy and competition.

Oligopolies are the result of overregulation.

Just fix the right things, not the wrong ones.

Disagree the only alternative is to let the people decide, I don't trust a dozen men that already have deeply undemocratic beliefs to dictate the direction of tech for society. You are against democracy, I am not. Democracy has led to some of the best advances of civilization, all oligarchies have done is introduce mass poverty, mass misery, and mass death. At least with democracy we went to the moon for mankind, not…

No. I am not against democracy. If you do not like what someone does, you have rights to fight for.

Your definition of not letting people choose goes more against democracy that what I mean IMHO.

Just do not let these people collude with the power. Fewer politicians would mean fewer people doing business to influence others through politics.

That is what my experience tells me.

Didn’t your ISP provide you with free FTP storage? The French ones did, at least.

Maybe decades ago. My current one doesn't.

I just checked, I’m not using the feature but my current ISP still offers it: https://assistance.free.fr/articles/631 (10 GB FTP storage tied to the ISP-specific e-mail address).

I don't dislike Codeberg inherently, but it's not a "true" GitHub replacement. It can handle a good chunk of GitHub repositories (namely those for well established FOSS projects looking to have everything a proper capital P project has), but if you're just looking for a generic place to put your code projects that aren't necessarily intended for public release and support (ie. random automation scripts, scraps of con…

Why would you want your remote source control repository to host your homepage?

Unfortunately I don't think there's really an answer to that conundrum that doesn't involve just spinning up your own git server and accepting all the operational overhead that comes with it. Hmm all that operational overhead... Of an ssh server? If you literally just want a place to push some code, then that really isn't that hard.

I suppose one could hypothetically setup an ssh-only forge and statically generate a html site periodically, but this is already advanced ops for the average Github user

> I think the internet has "GitHub Derangement Syndrome" right now. It's an outlet for people's frustration. I would argue that the open source people aren't the only ones paying attention right now. If you are hosting proprietary code on Github, it has become clear that Microsoft is going to feed that into their AI training set. If you don't want that, you don't have a choice but to leave Github.

you just disable the setting

I take it you've never disabled Windows telemetry settings and had them magically restored after an update?

This company either does what it wants to abuse people, or is too incompetent to make their software work as instructed. Both possibilities are bad. I expect the same translates to GitHub.

I don't like how it reads differently based on perspectives, they should be crystal clear on what's allowed and what's not, but when they say '...unhappy about...' as a statement, it feels kinda amateur to me although I'm pretty sure the operators must be way capable than me lol.

Totally agreed. I get the feeling they have not yet had to draw too many lines in the sand... Yet. So they're probably keeping it flexible until they have to really start swinging the hammer.

This comes off as a please don’t make me tap the sign rule.

Imagine a food pantry that says please don’t come here if you make over 100k, but 100k + earners keep coming. Maybe they don’t enforce the rule, but your obviously showing disdain for basic rules
