Are you guys fine with these new shenanigans from Github. I found a bug and wanted to check what has been the development on that, only to find out most of the discussion was hidden by github and requesting me to sign-in to view it.

It threw me straight back to when Microsoft acquired Github and the discussions around the future of opensource on a microsoft owned infrastructure, now microsoft is exploiting free work from the community to train its AI, and building walls around its product, are open source contributors fine with that ?

    Anyone else remember when MS bought github and a LOT of folks were saying this is where we’d see that they have changed and won’t fuck things up this time because Nadella is so much cooler than Balmer? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
