Thank You GitHub
What the fuck?<p>Today, participation in the development of Free Software is more difficult than ever as tons of projects make it impossible to contribute unless you use a proprietary piece of software to do so--namely, github.<p>Also, how is it even remotely sensible to compare the state of github today to the state of not-github a decade ago? If anything, the proprietary nature of github and its network effects is likely to have hampered progress in the development of Free Software collaboration tools. It&#x27;s not exactly like you need a proprietary middleman in order to not exchange patches by manually attaching them to emails in a world with ubiquitous broadband internet.
