| It isn't. Lots of unacceptable things going on these days and everyone seems to be accepting them just fine. |

| I think it's like some kind of collective inferiority complex. Nobody really understands things anymore but everyone is afraid to point out mistakes of others because they are scared to come under scrutiny themselves then. |

| We should make an alternative git site, but how to acquire users? |

| ▲ | go_elmo 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Make it nerdy enough to scare of agentic coders only. Also, blackjack and hookers are said to be helpful in such circumstances. | | | |

| ▲ | abnercoimbre 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | Could you expand? I couldn't find anything relevant after a few search attempts. | | |
| ▲ | dd8601fn 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yeah, look for HN headlines with forgejo and carrot (iirc). It made a lot of noise in the last couple weeks. |

| ▲ | tardedmeme 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | I don't know. Everyone seems to be using GitHub only because everyone else is using GitHub. Apparently that's important somehow. Me, I use "git init" | | |

| Guarantee enterprises with SLAs aren't accepting them |
| |
| ▲ | maccard 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | The thing about an SLA is that once you’ve broken it you’ve lost the trust. It doesn’t _really_ matter what the cost is for breaking it, nobody chooses their platform based on the refund they’ll get if they’re down. But they absolutely do choose based on reliability and uptime. The enterprise SLA refund credit will show as a (big) metering blip, but the problem is the people who signed the contracts are going to be speaking to Gitlab now |

| I think the default position people like to take generally is to just go with the status quo. GitHub has reached status quo level. As in "nobody ever got fired for choosing GitHub". It's the only forge I've seen advertisements for in the meatspace, and even non-technical people know about it. On job applications, companies ask for my GitHub URL. I think it'll be awhile now before they get abandoned. That said, I recently started moving my stuff over to Codeberg. The change needs to start with us, the people writing software. |
