I agree. Using GitHub for anything nowadays is just negative association. They're a business that never cared about the technical side of anything. It's all about shininess to them.
Avoid it like the plague.
Comment on: This is why GitLab is better than GitHub.
Functionally I think it's pretty decent, but the interface is absurdly lousy. The user pages display "<user> contributes to repository" even though I've made no commits to anything but my own stuff. And of course, that isn't even proper english given the context.
Comment on: Why the Open Code of Conduct Isnt for Me
So basically they're telling everyone on GitHub to accept shit code. Nice.
The stupidity is unthinkable.
Comment on: Github is adopting a code of conduct
I'm sorry, but why hasn't anyone boycotted GitHub yet? I saw this coming years ago just by observing their "hip and trendy" business behavior. They're a bunch of hipsters who prefer shininess over functionality -- and that says a lot.
This is almost like an exact repeat of what happened over on reddit/imgur. They get offended and use 'ethics' as an excuse to censor stuff they don't like while hypocritically letting all the other nasty behavior flourish because it doesn't affect them.
Remember when they took down that cplusequality programming language? It was nothing more than a harmless joke. Fuck them.
Comment on: Why this sub sucked on Reddit and how to make it not suck here
I'm pretty sure the real reason it sucked is because there were a lot of things posted that weren't even related to programming.
Nope. Crashes constantly on Linux too. You're not the only one who noticed.
