GitHub adding releases was the real UX mistake.
Anything outside of code repository stuff is outside their lane.
Start a new startup or something to solve that problem. Too late now that it's under Microsoft.
Gatekeeping OSS is a thing now?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding.. but are you saying GitHub, the corporate entity acquired by Microsoft for 7.8 billion dollars 6 years ago, is a champion of the free and open software movement and that needs some rando on the Internet to stand up for it?
People have lived through many cycles of Microsoft doing this shit. They don't deserve defending.
Maybe I misunderstood your comment. I'm talking from the layman's perspective looking for a stable build of whatever the software is.
