GitHub’s Ex-CEO Just Raised $60M to Replace #GitHub (And He Might Be Right)

#GitHub be like:
> This page has been optimized for large pull requests. Some browser features (like Find on Page or Select All) may not work as expected.
And shows a super-slow page with >1000 modified files. So I click "Switch to single file mode".
> Only the first 1000 files are currently being shown.
And yes, that implies I can't even *select* the file I need to see 🤦.

To #Github Pages to całkiem ciekawe narzędzie! W ogóle nigdy nie byłem blisko z Github, ale chyba pora się z nim trochę przeprosić. Wiem, że nie jest to idealne rozwiązanie pod kątem prywatnościowym, ale chyba jednak trzeba wiedzieć przynajmniej o co w tym chodzi i jak się tego używa.

Oh, #GitHub is empathetic to #OpenSource projects impacted by all the #AI slop. They're willing to help, right?
#Copilot even once, and of course they're not going to let people actually block this piece of shit.

GitHub improved how its Terraform provider handles secrets. So now I shouldn't have recreations all the time. But I do have to update all of them; it only took 45 minutes to change all 500 of them:

Did you clone a large amount of git repos? Is ~/workspace/ a giant mess? Need to declutter?
If a remote exists and all branches have been pushed (or merged), and you trust the git host to stay up, maybe we don't need to keep the local copy.
Or if there's local branch refs for commits that have never been pushed, maybe they should be.

I would really like to move away from #GitHub with my projects towards #Codeberg.
I still would like to use #RenovateBot by Mend, but they don't offer it with Codeberg. Any good way to keep it running …

So #GitHub Actions only lets me rerun all jobs, all failed jobs or a single job — not a subset of jobs. On top of that, if I rerun anything, I can't do anything until it finishes, and I can't cancel a single job without cancelling everything. Truly great UX.
So now I have to choose between either starting a few very long-running jobs one by one, and waiting for every one to finish before manually starting the next one, or starting all failed jobs, including a bunch of jobs that will rerun unnecessarily.

Alternate code forges be like:
1. Let's offer this alternate VCS, so all the #git haters come to us.
2. Oh no, there's not much money in git haters. Let's offer git as well.
3. This alternate VCS is too much effort. Let's discontinue hosting it and tell our users to switch to our git hosting.
4. Why did all our users to move back to #GitHub?

#Microsoft really doesn't want you to stop using #GitHub Sponsors.
So apparently I can't stop people from sponsoring me myself. And I can't disable #GitHubSponsors either, because I have people sponsoring me. The only thing I can do is to contact support and ask them to handle it.
Fortunately, there's a ready support link with pre-filled form. Except it doesn't work anymore, so you have to go through the new support request form yourself. And after you write the message yourself, it is fed to a completely useless LLM that tells you how to disable account. Except that the process doesn't work, because as the bottom hint notes, if you have any active sponsors, you need to contact support instead 🤦. Well, at least it eventually lets you send that support request.
At least #KoFi lets you remove memberships yourself. It also lets you remove the account entirely but apparently not deactivate it. For that, there's apparently a support request. Sent one, let's see how it goes.
