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?

    My own small problem I have with Codeberg is that while they allow private repositories for open source projects that are not in a presentable state yet, I, um, have a lot of projects that fit the description. Being an ADHD scatterbrain and all. I keep blowing dust off of years old projects and then they keep languishing.

    GitHub doesn’t care, put up as many private repos you want.

    Some people might say “well, why not make the crappy repos public, then” - well I could, but it’s not good for my mental state.

    However, I now run a private Forgejo instance so I have a good alternative for GitHub in that regard. (I also don’t get dependabot spam along the lines of “this barely working hack from 10 years ago has had critical updates to its dependencies!”)
