GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation

I really wanted to migrate to codeberg, but swapping out my hardware token and rotating keys everywhere for *one* platform? not going to happen, so I'll stay on my locally hosted gitea instance...

I was a huge fan of Gitea, but recent behavior by them was very questionable.
 
IBM fired tens of thousands of employees who were approaching the 25 year retirement mark.
They brought us in and offered the choice of a pittance separation check or fired outright without severance.
They confiscated our pensions.

They fired so many in the Hudson Valley manufacturing area, they destroyed the property values with countless houses that went into default.
I understand one guy was so distraught in the San Jose facility, he brought in a shotgun and capped some managers at the lunch table.

All those who were kicked to the curb were replaced by green kids at much lower salaries, and minimal vacation time.
Those of us who actually knew how to fix a mainframe and I/O were no longer necessary.
Neither is program support.
The new kids are just parts replacers, little skills required.

I'm a "he" ;)

Wow, that sounds very familiar!

When we were all kicked out some ten years ago, we got told, nobody needs to understand the Internet anymore - and we were replaced by linuxkiddies.

Basically, what I had done was, help all the big corps to get rid of their mainframes and replace them with unix machines. Working for a consulting shop. But then the consulting shop was bought by IBM, and we were all fired.
