Programmers, can you inform me why people still use github? Its owned by Microsoft, promotes AI garbage, and that alone kind of makes it shitty as a place to host open source stuff in my book. As a simple plebian, am I missing something? I don't code, so does it offer something that other platforms don't?
@cloudskater For folks that use Actions, it's hell. Actions is an entirely proprietary execution environment, even though it's made of parts that are nominally inspectable and comprehensible to many nerds. If you use actions to drive automated tests, deployment, or many of the other things microsoft positions them for you're _very nearly_ welded to the Github platform.
