At this point I'm very concerned about the open source industry relying so much on github. You have to remember that any project there can be swept away overnight because it doesn't fit into the agenca of a large company, for example.

The author was bullied by Nintendo into voluntarily removing the repos, it wasn't DMCA'd.

GitHub had nothing to do with this one. And just like with Yuzu, plenty of people have uploaded copies of the repo already, thanks to git's decentralized nature where everyone have a full copy of the entire history.

Git itself isn't decentralized is about people copying it and sometimes mirroring it.

Anyway it is a good habit to avoid github entirely (when hosting a repo).

Anyway it is a good habit to avoid github entirely ~~(when hosting a repo)~~.

Yes but no, because I don't want to not interact with a repo at all just because it's on github for whatever reason (if there's one).

But yes, I understand your feelings. Fuck M$
