This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Websites like this are the reason I'm forced to use noscript on mobile

I really can't believe this got the green light. GitHub has, or perhaps had, the trust of most of the open source world. It was used by everybody. This is so fucking short-sighted, it's signing away your stock portfolio for a popsicle. Whatever couple bucks they get from this ad is worth absolutely nothing compared to the trust and good will they have flushed.
Kinda hard to explain this concept to executives who have made their entire careers based off of dumb decisions like this. Problem is these execs never get fired or laid off, and instead get promoted upwards until all of Microsoft is doing the dumbest thing imaginable to their name. These people have never had consequence before, so are now destined to place those consequences on the company that's kept them woefully employed.
I think this is true with a lot of companies. Microsoft is a good example. Whoever is responsible for the current state of Windows 11 should be turfed as rapidly and efficiently as possible both for the good of Microsoft and to send a message that this sort of thing is not wanted anymore.
They believe they are irreplacesble and as a single central point for development they are. They'll ride this until users move to other options effectively decentralizing source hosting again. Good. Burn it down MS. Burn it down as fast as you can.
Like everything a techbro behemoth acquires?
Well yes, but have you also considered that line must go up?
I think once you turn your product into "Enterprise" or whatever that means, then you can do whatever you want with the company. it doesn't matter you're going to make like 3 trillion dollars
Wow thats actually more crazy than i though even Microslop would accomplish.
Their stock price is being hammered and for good reason...
Chat gpt will probably also add ads though. They were even open to sex bot chats as I understand it.
The Enshittify will not stop.
Come to Codeberg! We don't have AI slop built into the platform!
Look at this BS. lol
Jesus fuck that is bad. That PR should/would get rejected regardless of the code content. Would also consider further action against the contributor for spamming my repo.
I'm actually amazed at Microsoft's audacity on this one. And that bar is already hard to clear for a company I have such a low opinion on.
We're in that stage where Microsoft knows that we're about to break up and instead of fixing itself it is leaning into that abusive boyfriend injecting themselves everywhere they can.
Soon Microsoft will threaten to kill itself if we leave.
Promise?
I think we have to go through a long drawn out stage of Microslop pretending they can change before we get to that part.
We're past that stage. They're back to "It's you!
No, they're more like the "If I can't have you, no one can," vibecode.
Please threaten me with a good time
"Do a backflip!"
My switch to codeberg pays off! GitHub has turned into junk real quick since the last months.
GitHub has been in a downward spiral lately. Codeberg seems to be a better home for “small” open source. Large open-source organizations already use their forge.
I hoped for Refactor your body with ozempic style ads.
Yeah, or dick pills.
watch they will put adds directly your project/code if you don't pay..
People using GitHub when Codeberg exists deserve nothing less.
You use GitHub because you don’t know better
I use GitHub because I wanna poison AI with shitty code
We are not the same
Recruiters care too much about green boxes sadly.
Investors care too much about greenbacks, so there.
Codeberg has green boxes!
They’ll start making you censor READMEs to make advertisers happy.
“Make sure you run

Before trying again
This read me brought to you by ManGrates. There’s nothing manlier in grilling than ManGrates!”
every Linux distribution build script will now add alias unaliveall="killall" to the /etc/profile
Should lean into things and just add "--and-children" to "killall" instead.
Microsoft microsofting things...
Microslop microslopping things...
ftfy
Nah this problem goes way farther back than 2022.
So what you are saying is microsoft has been microslop for longer than a few years? I'd agree with that
The Windows 8 start menu was candy crush and a ton of ads, and that was over a decade ago.
It reminded me back then of a 50$ chinese phone I got off Alibaba.
One more reason not to use Raycast
atp they should just have their LLMs put in code that relies on proprietary services and apps. Go the extra mile man
I'm not going to defend this garbage but is this really slop? Just seems like your average ad injection.
So glad I never started using github
I don’t think it’d be hard to leave if you had. You can export your issues to CSV. Everything else is just git.
That’s really incredible as it was the defacto spot for git version controlled software since what feels like forever.
