No Excuses Left, Time to Leave the GitHub Monopoly

I can't even access this site because Firefox is complaining about it using a self-signed cert.

There are no excuses why this site should be serving an expired (10/04/2019, 18:24:11 (Greenwich Mean Time)) self-signed cert.

I am also not convinced. It is very easy to paint Microsoft as the villain of open source movements, but action speak louder than words. With their latest commitments to Linux, Github and the NPM ecosystem, I'm willing to stick it out and embrace the new era.

I’m not convinced by this screed. It’s heavy on innuendo and light on detail.

Maybe I’m just a “lost cause.”

blah blah.

I think github has actually been a force for good. I don't see much evidence of microsoft screwing it up either.

As to youtube-dl - I'm a user of it and I like it a lot. But there are some points on the RIAA complaint I think they have to deal with.

I'm pretty sure there's a way to put a form of youtube-dl on the site that downloads videos as before yet skirts the RIAA complaint.

But that's not something github can do for them. I think github has to follow the law and let it play out.
