I’m Switching to gitlab.

After ingo (ingo.au) got shadowbanned for no apparent reason, I’ve decided I have had enough with github and microslop and migrated all my (important) repos to gitlab.

Whats wrong with github?

I dont want this to be too long so here are some bulletpoints

• AI everywhere
  • I don’t want (or need) copilot on my home screen
• Microsoft
  • Slopifying code
• Copilot training on public repos
  • No, stay away from my open source
• The github ui sucks! Just look at how unefficent this UI is! Github, why do I have to go into accounts to get access to my organisations/groups? WHY? Gitlab has done an awesome job of making a nice home page, and github, a company owned by microsoft can only produce this? EVEN MY SELFHOSTED GITEA INSTANCE HAS BETTER UI THAN GITHUB!!! Seriously, this open source project has BETTER UI THAN GITHUB?

Takeaways

• Your online accounts can be banned at any time
• Avoid oauth when you can
  • A lot of the pain that has been caused caused is because I was too lazy to use bitwarden.
    • Ill go more in depth into oauth soon…
• My new gitlab profile is castawhat
