@blainsmith 💣 💣 💣 ⚠️ #Github is shutting down ⚠️ 💣 💣 💣
(imagine that a #rugpull!)
#Github = #Microsoft / #Microshaft
"Having the worlds largest repository of important open source code reside in the hands of Microsoft is madness."

OpenAI'M: Micros(ha)ft Shell Company Using Its Technology To Kill
Earlier this month, the company that brings us ChatGPT announced its partnership with California-based weapons company, Anduril, to produce AI weapons. The OpenAI-Anduril system, which was tested in California at the end of November, permits the sharing of data between external parties for decision making on the battlefield. This fits squarely within the US military and OpenAI’s plans to normalize the use of AI on the battlefield.
Anduril, based in Costa Mesa, makes AI-powered drones, missiles, and radar systems, including surveillance towers, Sentry systems, currently used at US military bases worldwide as well as the US-Mexico border and on the British coastline to detect migrants on boats. On December 3rd, they received a three-year contract with the Pentagon for a system that gives soldiers AI solutions during attacks.

MINI RANT TIME.... #openSource is the hashtag to use when bending over and want to serve the #corporateState.... it could probably be labelled, #openWide or #openSeason, take ur pick.
#FOSS is the hashtag to use when you care about #freedom. Some other good ones are #Libre and #copyleft
#github is the microshaft platform to use when u want OpenSeason on ur software. If yuo do FOSS on #griftHub ur work will be stolen by #microshaft and handed over to the corporates, using the excuse, "the 'AI' stole it".
If u are using GriftHub, u are part of the problem, either due to ur #ignorance, or malevolence. This includes the #bitcoin ppl.
Gitlab is also quite nasty as it requires javascript to browse a repository, and its official service (gitlab.com) is via cloudflare, Avoid using for anything other than backup/#collateralFreedom.
Please look in #forgejo and #forgeFed and other types of forges /END RANT

The corporate hacks at #OSI have defined the LLMs that C.A.G.E.M.A.F.I.A. use as "open-source" without them having to provide the data (incl. art, journalism, books and whatever other content was used to train the system).
This is bad. It's bad for not only everyone in software freedom but EVERYONE who produces content.... and by that I mean EVERYONE.
The #microsoft cronies perpetuating #theft and #fraud at OSI need to repeal their demented #OSAID definition immediately, if they want to maintain any shred of respect for #opensource.
PLEASE BOOST, even if to preserve the definition of the word, #open. Thanks

We were inspired to make this gif in #GIMP. Its based on the firewall setup called #DFCA that helps to expose and block #digitalFeudalism in software and our society.

How about just starting the day by saying, "Today I will not use Microshaft GitHub, or CloudGlare GitLab, because its time to support a diverse #ecosystem of development, and by feeding monopolies I would in the long-term, hurt myself and those I love."
Start the day like that and get the fu$k over it.

This week is International Alternative to #CAGEMAFIA Week.
Today, we will celebrate by finding random people on the street and asking them whether they have heard of the alternative to Goo' Maps, #OpenStreetMap.org.
Tomorrow we will ask a question related to fediverse.
Join us in celebrating this special week we just made up.

Has anyone successfully setup #BTCPayServer to federate over #I2P network, rather than than Tor?
From this resource it would appear not:
https://web.archive.org/web/20230108230651/https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/discussions/4505While on the topic of #federated systems, aren't #bitcoiners embarrassed that they're on the invasive #MSGitHub platform? This question extends to #fedizens who list the #MicroShaft forge prominently in their bio.
The sooner we use alternative #forges day-to-day, or move to something like #ForgeFed the better.

For those interested in disabling #search from the #URLBar in #Firefox-based browsers, like #TorBrowser, #LibreWolf and the like:
In 'about.config'…
Change 'keyword.enabled' to false.
Someone at #Mozilla must've been awarded a 'Most #Obtuce Setting Descriptor of the Year' with that one.

We don't like to write people off but at some point a person must start categorising those who use #GitHub and #GitLab as mortal enemies.

@blacklight
That's just honesty, though.The art imitating life. There are no guarantees in life.
The #proprietarySoftware scene may have a bit more momentum from the #moneyPump post-1971, from Epstein-type backing *cough* *#Microshaft, c'flare, and lucrative govt contracts and collusion with organised crime like the ClA (#SpaceX).
From advert campaigns funded by ever lower interestRates (Ggle, Amzn), #stockBuyBacks (Apple), taxAvoidance etc.
Honestly, #FOSS is what you MAKE IT.
-
If #searx gave you an optional #captcha from #Yandex to fill out, to possibly broaden your search would you complete it?
So many instances give information to Ggle and #DDG (read: #microShaft servers).
We are getting weary of it.

Someone complained that during WW2 all the true artists disappeared, too.-_-

Please inform those who #needMoney desperately to this one weird trick that ***really does work***!
Hold up a sign in a #publicSquare:

They somehow wrote a #softwarePatent for #FOSS #Linux that socially engineers the demise of Apple and #Microshaft in just under 6 weeks.
No, its not Pokemon.
-
Escaping #Microshaft is more hard than it should be.
Its bad enough that they serve #GriftHub, #LinkedIn and are a partner of the CDN giant, #Akamai.
The fact that they also effectively host #DuckDuckGo, should really raise an alarm for any thinking man, woman, child, duck, duck and flipping goose on the planet.
Maybe #DuckCoverRun ought be the colloquialism.

@jeffcliff
We seriously going to laugh more emphatically, if #Microsoft are considering that level of #corporateSuicide.Close #Windows — open distros.
-
#github belongs to #microshaft, and #gitlab is hiding behind #clownflare - yet another reason why it isn't a good alternative.
just use and thereby support non-commercial services instead. (and don't forget to donate at some point)

@zleap @vae
Rather than read, #Microsoft, it would read "#Microshaft".This aligns with the experience that we had, in which Microsoft products were supplied to us at a young age in the hope that we'd be lifelong users.
