Since Microsoft owns Github, Gitlab is Corp owned now since 2022, why are so many who preach privacy or using Linux, etc, still using a MS product?
Genuine questions. I’m assumming either familiarity & simplicity with GH or difficulty migrating elsewhere?
People want to be popular and have it for free, it’s what they care about --> “i MuSt UsE mIcROslOp GiThUb!”
Same reason people use Facebook (Instagram, WhatsApp), Google (YouTube, gmail, Docs, Drive,…), Microslop (Github, Winblows,…), Tiktok, Snap, etc. They follow trends. If it were trendy and free to use opensource and care about pirvacy, people would do it.
You’re not going to get logical arguments from the people using it. They will say anything to justify their conformity.
