Do you also post "Take it away from $OWNER" every time your open source software breaks?

What antitrust issue does my open source software have?

Dude, you need to stay on script! Over here you're saying it's an anti-trust issue [1]. It's literally the thread above this.

Can we please demand that Github provide mirror APIs to competitors? We're just asking for an extinction-level event. "Oops, our AI deleted the world's open source." Any public source code hosting service should be able to subscribe to public repo changes. It belongs to the authors, not to Microsoft.

Your comment led me to create this:

What does antitrust have to do with the GitHub services downtime?

It regularly breaks the workflow for thousands of FLOSS projects.

It does? Do you know git is a dvcs? And therefore you're able to continue working without an internet connection or a service provider being up? It delays the code review process but doesn't break it.

I get it that you want it to be 100% up, but let's be serious your FLOSS projects probably break more stuff than GitHub being down does.

Being snapshot-based. Git has some issues being distributed in practice since the patch order matter which means you basically need to have some centralized authoritative server in most cases with more than 2 folks to resolve the order of patches for meaningful uses as the hash is used in so many contexts.

That's... literally what a merge collision is. The tooling for that predates git by decades. The solutions are all varying levels of non-trivial and involve tradeoffs, but none of them require 24/7 cloud service availability.

Using a Patch Theory-based option like Darcs or Pijul exist today & don’t have the tradeoff while also working offline.

Upper management in Microsoft has been bragging about their high percentage of AI generated code lately - and in the meantime we've had several disastrous Windows 11 updates with the potential to brick your machine and a slew of outages at github. I'm sure it might be something else but it's clear part of their current technical approach is utterly broken.

I'm so confused by what they think using copilot to either find/build an emulator for a 50 year old machine that can run Basic demonstrates.

How about Issue management?
