Are you guys fine with these new shenanigans from Github. I found a bug and wanted to check what has been the development on that, only to find out most of the discussion was hidden by github and requesting me to sign-in to view it.
It threw me straight back to when Microsoft acquired Github and the discussions around the future of opensource on a microsoft owned infrastructure, now microsoft is exploiting free work from the community to train its AI, and building walls around its product, are open source contributors fine with that ?
Distributed version control system
I would not say that distributed is federated. But i could not find a widely accepted definition of it.
For example i would call FTP also not federated🤷♂️
Agreed. That said, with a few remotes and a cron job git could facilitate “duct tape and zip ties” federation.
