Re: my last boost. Why are we supposed to be moving away from Github anyway? Mastodonians like to move away from apps and services for all sorts of reasons. I'm not up on the latest tech bro drama. I mean, organizational failures.

@Rosalyn Mostly because it had major downtime multiple times a month, for the last three months. And Microsoft keeps adding copilot to it, that nobody really wants. So everyone is afraid they're doing the typical "embrace and extend" that Microsoft is famous for, while also enshitifying it.

@fastfinge Whoa! Copilot? And Github?... In the same sentence... I think I just died a little inside.

@Rosalyn Yeah, it's all over github in the web interface now. And plus, they want you to pay for it.

@TomGrant91 @fastfinge Well you may not be doing anything that would prompt you for a premium payment. I wonder what they're charging for precisely. Or their payment scheme just may not have hit the UK yet. If so, lucky you.

@Rosalyn @fastfinge I'm just downloading NVDA-add-ons. Never really done that chat thing, I just skip to the heading on the releases page and boom, find the assets and download what I want

@TomGrant91 @Rosalyn Yeah exactly. But there's two links and a button at the top of every single page, for anyone signed into github. So developers see it constantly. And again, just one press of the button by mistake gets you endless emails and ads about it.
