@gabe the reactions to that tweet are something :D https://social.coop/media/KX6pdGPWvGm-pxlGw5w
@mayel Yeah, I'm really hoping this turns into some more decentralization-focused work on Git, as well as increased funding/support for the GitLab team to improve what they've got.
That said, the number of Microsoft apologists is astounding and incredibly disheartening.
@mayel @jjg Oh, absolutely. One of the worst parts of going through the CS program at my University (and there were a lot of bad parts) was seeing how woefully uninformed the developer (or at least the upcoming developer) community was about the ethics of FLOSS and the inherent flaws of developing software for capitalist industries.
We even had a mandatory ethics course where I thought maybe some of that stuff would be addressed... No dice, though.
