minus-squareHotznplotznlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up54·1 年前Why is Github, as a U.S. company, not asking the U.S. to fund Open Source?
minus-squareLena@gregtech.eulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up29·1 年前Probably because the US government is insane. If Github is so adamant about funding open source, they can do it themselves, too (though I’m fully in favour of the EU funding FOSS). They are literally owned by Microsoft.
minus-squarereev@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·1 年前The EU SHOULD fund open source, including but not limited to EU alternatives to GitHub.
minus-squareKissaki@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 年前GitHub is offering quite a lot for free to FOSS (and public repos in general). I wonder how much cost they have for all the CI minutes they sponsor?
minus-squareLena@gregtech.eulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前Yeah I find it pretty cool. All public repos have free, unlimited Github actions.

minus-squarebrot@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·1 年前TBH before the USA went totally batshit, they did fund a lot of open source software.
minus-squareBeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前Yeah, some of the software and data they release (or released) is amazing.
