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 ?

    Using the first entry for steal on the English wiktionary:

    To take illegally, or without the owner’s permission, something owned by someone else without intending to return it.

    So, if you can’t actually own stuff, you can’t (by definition) steal it.

    I get your point, and this more of an AcKsHuALly type of argument, but it’s an fun way of begging the question of what “I own this” means in today’s society.
