What “‘real costs’ in running GitHub Actions” are these dipshits even talking about? All they need to do is send a message to my runner. All the rest happens on my machine. Is the “real cost” pulling the latest changes?
Storing the repo, keeping a TLS session open to the runner 24/7 so when you poke the run button it does it now, not when the runner checks in next.
It costs fuck all but with millions of runners it does add up.
I hope this move and despite the pullback means more people will move away from GitHub and over to Codeberg, or alternatively run Forgejo themselves which is the software behind Codeberg
Won't somebody think of the shareholders? With your greedy attitude they won't be able to feed their poor families :(
The real costs are the ~$100m they spend a year on developing GitHub and providing it for free to most people - including free CI.
They charge 3x the cost price for runners so that they can actually make money. This change is so that they can't get undercut by alternative hosted runner providers.
I do think they could have just explained that and it probably would have been more palettable than their "we're making it cheaper!" lie, but I guess there are also a lot of people that still think the only moral pricing is cost plus.

Well, that (surprisingly) didn't last long.
It will be implemented, they'll just do it slower.
