Are you guys fine with these new shenanigans from Github. I found a bug and wanted to check what has been the development on that, only to find out most of the discussion was hidden by github and requesting me to sign-in to view it.
It threw me straight back to when Microsoft acquired Github and the discussions around the future of opensource on a microsoft owned infrastructure, now microsoft is exploiting free work from the community to train its AI, and building walls around its product, are open source contributors fine with that ?
The biggest issue with gitlab is the web editor. They swapped out a really fast and light-feeling one for this frankenstein monster that looks like whatever the hell the barbies and kens writing powershell are using. It’s so slow, and so ugly.
Everything else about gitlab, so far, has been great. From v9 to here, it’s been easy to use and easy to upgrade; but we can debate the capricious worsening of the sidebar for something surprisingly worse each time .
Who even uses the web editor on any git website though? For anything besides micro fixes for projects I don’t already have cloned, I find it easier to just update things locally and push.
Don’t even get me started on github rendering tabs as EIGHT spaces.
