The time to do that was when people asked GitHub to stop providing services to ICE to help run concentration camps for children and their military-industrial complex owners at Microsoft just shrugged and said “whatever”. (It continues to date. Microsoft has always been more than happy to sell software to the violent and authoritarian. The Snowden slides are PowerPoint.)
But yes, time to switch. I highly recommend Gitea + Drone, it’s the setup I use. Gitea thankfully supports U2F (and oauth for logging into Drone) which is awesome, and although they took shit for plainly ripping off GitHub’s UI back when GitHub was beloved, it’s super convenient to have a nearly identical UI to switch to now.
Well that completely passed under the radar. Last year November? Can't remember reading about this ..
Didn't we judge Nokia-Siemens when they did similar, developing DPI infrastructure for Iran and Egypt?
Good on those people resigning over this, that shows some backbone.
> “We do not know the specific projects that the on-premises GitHub Enterprise Server license is being used with, but recognize it could be used in projects that support policies we both agree and disagree with.”
That sounds like when Nokia Siemens Networks provided communications intercept technology with foresight of how the Iranian authorities might use it to violate human rights.
That reasoning does NOT hold, if the "policies we disagree with" part literally equates to children kept in cages.
Then "I'm just making a service, not doing politics" is being wilfully blind.
People resigned over this. That also means, the people who are still there, did not.
