The repo got taken down due to DMCA and the user is blocked,

Ah, hah.

so you wouldn’t see anything there, even if you did log in.

Haha.

Imagine making a competitor to GitHub that sucks even worse

Web3. Making things worse!

Earlier today I created a new repo in github for a personal project, and for a second I thought “I hate that they scrape this for AI but at least it works”

Then I realized that gitlab most likely does all that AI shit but somehow even worse

I hope my code makes those models even worse

It was way better than github for a long time. But the Era of Zero Interest Loans died of CoVID. So capital instructed them to focus on enterprise monetization because thats where the guaranteed money is. They’ll make money off of all the companies that are already locked in. But they won’t get anyone new so they’ll go the way of SourceForge eventually.

Microsoft could easily be running GitHub at a loss and it be worth it to maintain market dominance. GitHub is the Microsoft Office for programmers and both are basically critical infrastructure for the economy.

Sign up for codeberg.org instead! It’s free and you’ll love the lack of ads and LLM spyware.

also title says github not gitlab?

I am not observant. I’m actually going to google anti-phishing extensions because I am at that level of unobservant.

You could have a look at my self text edit.
