Default Re: Big company takeovers

I fundamentally don't like the fact that we rely on such massive centralisation for what should be decentralised version control.

But for source code dependencies and packages, I need to point people to a canonical resource, and for that, I currently need something centralised like Github. If that need is to be "fixed", we need to have a broader argument about how to distribute internet resources in a decentralised fashion, but no-one is really clear at this stage how the tech for that works (I'm still crossing my fingers for IPFS).

For private stuff, I worked at a shop that hosted their own Git repositories, and for a few years now, I've been setting my git origin to my VPS.

To fully embrace the irrational argument, I have a feeling that part of my love for Github was the cute Octocat brand, and the juxtaposing of the Microsoft logo is one of those few times I year that I go "ewwwww....."
