It's a shame that we are beating a path to another Microsoft monopoly.

Have we learned nothing?

When time comes, we will move away from GitHub actions too.

What will you have us do, in the mean time? Will you pay to run my open source projects' CI servers?

And if you do, what exactly makes you better than "another Microsoft monopoly"?

Why not move to GitLab right now? Their core product is OSS and the CI is integrated and free for OSS projects.

No free Windows and macOS runners.

It's easy enough to add your own. I use the cloud-based runners for Linux, then provide my own for Windows, Mac and FreeBSD, all VMs.

Maybe it's easy to add them, but I don't have any Windows or macOS servers in the first place.

I don't really see how it's any better. But I am using and loving gitlab ci for my projects on paid plans fwiw.

It's better because you could move to self-hosting if something happens to gitlab.com.

Also other CI systems support their configuration format: https://blog.drone.io/drone-adapter-gitlab-pipelines/

When what time comes? When? :)

Travis' fault man.
