I feel like I'm in good company, I moved my stuff to my own forgejo instance about two month ago because finally I had some time to set one up. I wanted to do it for years because it was embarrysing to host open source code on a closed source platform ran by Microsoft. But my main kick in the but to really just do it was their CEO told his workers to embrace AI or get out: https://www.businessinsider.com/github-ceo-developers-embrace-ai-or-get-out-2025-8 I knew this is not the place to be anymore.
Let me guess… Thanks to this “bug” Microsoft / GitHub are charging their paying costumers for something that otherwise would be just idle time. 🤔
they're always trying to screw you. feel free to call me delusional but i think like mark zuckerberg. i'm not as good with code as he is, but i'm autistic and i'm very low on the empathy scale.
mark zuckerberg is one of the world's highest functioning autistic psychopaths.they all are. they all hate humans. they all want to accelerate the end of the world because they think everything is a simulation and when everyone dies they respawn in a better simulation
they talk about this shit all the time on the dark web
if he's actually autistic, he's fucked up really. hard. anyway jus wanted to note that he's certainly no good coder.
My favorite podcast is Behind the Bastards. Huge Robert Evans fan (I grew up with him) I'm also an anarchist, but I'm not his type. I'm a hacktivist.I work behind the scenes. Feel free to think this is aLARP, but if you want high quality transgender BDSM porn on whitehouse.gov, i'm your guy
anyhoo, zuck actually is a brilliant coder. he really is a fucking genius,. WAY smarer than anyone here, especially me. but he doesn't care about any of you. hopefullythat isn'tnewsto anyone here
it's not about the money. it's about the power. they want the power to kill every single one of us so they can respawn in valhalla. shoot robert evans a message on bluesky if you want to know more. i went to high school with robert in plano texas so we've known each other for like....20 years, about. he knows how to get into all this shit
if you wanna see this shit for yourself you gotta use tor and check out BHC
it's the darkweb so be
VERY
FUCKING
CAREFUL
you need a tricked out PC to deal with all the custom CSAM injections
Nope nope nope nope nope. Why would I trust a browser written by criminals for criminals or by the FBI/CIA for criminals with my browsing? Nope nope nope.
Xbox. Lol. Microsoft has the Mierda touch.
I think of it as the Shidas Touch
Shitass touch
…The same Zig that ditched LLVM, to make their own compiler from scratch?
This is good. But also, this is sort of in character for Zig.
IIRC, the difference here is that Zig's plan had always been to make their own compiler, but had to use LLVM to get started and, more cynically, to try and get some LLVM contributors interested in the project so they could essentially poach them.
I am pretty sure I have seen a video interview of Andrew Kelley transparently saying that ages ago but I'll try and find it to link it here.
That’s interesting.
I dunno if that's any better. Compiler development is hard, and expensive.
I dunno what issue they have with LLVM, but it would have to be massive to justify building around it and then switching away to re-invent it.

I've never even heard of Zig before today and it's right out of the gate with drama, cat fights, and public spats. Got to love the programming world.
I think that comes from Andrew Kelley having strong opinions, sometimes with harsh language added. It's like the internet is over-correcting for the much stronger and harsher early internet days, so he's admonished for being "unprofessional". I don't care for this sanded-down squeaky-clean vision of the internet that is being pushed for, particularly by the corporate crowd.
The Zig core team is pretty chill and pretty united around strong engineering ethos. And tbf their own compiler is pretty performant and produces similar level quality code. The argument that compiler dev is hard falls fairly flat when they are succeeding in developing their own compiler.
Tbh zig is as chill as an iceberg compared to rust! I really appreciate the mindset of "c with rough edges removed" that zig promotes. Already using it in our companies stm32 projects
Oh I did not mean to appear combative or being a contrarian. I don't even care about Zig or LLVM to be honest. I just thought that that clarification was sort of necessary seeing as the GitHub thing is a reaction to MS bullshit, whereas the LLVM thing at least seemed to me like it wasn't (initially) from some drama or a secret or anything.
Still, this is assuming I'm not just hallucinating what I am claiming.
I wish Microsoft keeps up with its AI obsession and push as much as possible. At some point they’ll realize the reputation damage, but the longer it will take the better. Just stop the negative publicity
IDK, the amount of abuse people have withstood only to keep using MS platforms is astounding. Some people would rather use trash than learn a new platform.
Yeah but what does the corporate world do when Microsoft implodes and releases "Windows 12 agentic AI" the operating system, co developed between AI and athletic employees?
I wouldn’t be so sure they will double down on it forever. I remember too many stupid MS actions like early 2010's convergence and metro UI because touchscreens and shit, where is it now?
Alright fine, I can tolerate the little ✨AI ✨ sparkles in my M365 webpages a while longer if it means more kaboom at the end.

Microsoft has gone all-in on AI to the detriment of basically every other aspect of their business. They are in deep deep shit when the bubble finally pops.
