Just curious, why don't you like ai in coding? Because they're making money from open source code without contributing?

GitHub effectively contributes a significant amount of money and work hours by hosting close to all the open source software for free, including some CI time and the collaboration features. For some projects like Nix that's a really non-trivial system on its own. It's not just the code that counts towards FOSS contributions.

This is true. But what if they change their mind?

IMHO, this shows the huge dependency of all of the world’s open source software on a single company. (Microsoft, who owns GitHub).

In this context, Radicle - as an alternative way of hosting the world’s OSS - makes a lot of sense to me.

Then you can demand all your money back ; )

But seriously, it would be nice to distribute it. We already have other options coming slowly. The fediverse forges are being worked on and should be available in 2025, like https://forgejo.org/
