Why I'm leaving #GitHub
source: jorijn.com/en/blog/leaving-git…
TL;DR
• GitHub logged 257 incidents in May 2025 to April 2026, 48 of them major. The CTO publicly apologised and said capacity needs to scale 30x to keep up with AI-driven load.
• In August 2025 GitHub stopped having its own CEO. It is now a unit of Microsoft's #CoreAI division, the same group building Copilot and the broader AI stack.
• On April 24, 2026 GitHub flipped #Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ user-interaction data to opt-in for AI training by default. There is no repository-level opt-out.
• US-jurisdictional risk under #FISA Section 702 and the CLOUD Act is unresolved. Microsoft's own attorney told the French Senate under oath he could not #guarantee #EU data was safe from silent US #government access.So tell me why do they still use GitHub?

#Linux gains more critical #Windows apps: 3D Movie Maker and Space Cadet Pinball
source: theregister.com/oses/2026/05/1…
It's not only a native port, they also had to do more work to make it 64-bit clean, add native file load and save dialog boxes, #MIDI background #music via #FluidSynth, and a video player powered by #GStreamer – among other things. Currently, they're looking at making a #RaspberryPi version as well.
Who even needs #Microsoft #Windows anymore?

The social experience of upstream #FLOSS desktop software maintainers:
You're a potato farmer calling out the shop managers who keep moldy potato bags on shelves years past the expiry date, with your farm's brand prominently on the potato bag, and you get yelled at by the janitor for sternly asking the supermarket's management to comply with food safety regulations.
Wait… I just ruined #FreeDesktop devs' fantasy of becoming farmers, did I? 🤔

«We disagree with the #NHS technical leadership’s decision to hide the source code of all of their repositories. Making code #OpenSource requires more work than keeping it closed. That hard work is the point. It requires a higher bar of quality.»

#floss #networking I need to replace a couple of old network switches.
Are there any companies doing open source switch hardware and software? I would like to tinker.
- 1U
- 12 or more10G fiber ports
- a couple of faster uplinks would be nice
- decent RESTish API or ansible supportSomething like https://vyos.io #vyos seems suitable but it looks like I would have to diy my own hardware

It'd be great if #GTK & #libadwaita's About dialogs had a property for "Months of support per version", which would check the app's running version against its "date" field in the AppData metainfo.xml and hide the "Website" & "Report an Issue" buttons if it's too old.
Thus upstream devs could avoid being the externalized cost of free "LTS" distros (users reporting issues about ancient versions) without being accused of being anti #FLOSS (like in https://gitlab.com/linuxmint/pins/mint/gnome-calendar/-/work_items/1)
