cpressey/README.md

Hi there, I'm Chris Pressey. Most of the things I make, I make under the auspices of Cat's Eye Technologies, so if you're looking for things I've made, you probably want to look at https://codeberg.org/catseye instead.


Cirriculum vitae


When Microsoft acquired GitHub, I didn't leave immediately. I wanted to give them a chance. Well, they had their chance.

It's not that I've suddenly become a Free Software zealot. But I do think open source should be more than just something that enables a "Community Tier (FREE!)" business model.

There is also a significant amount of irony in a code host based on an open-source distributed version control system becoming "too big to fail", and actually, when I say "significant", what I mean is "insupportable". So, I can no longer in good conscience support it.

¹ As far as is humanly possible. Actually, insofar as what I've done has been open sourced I can't actually prevent anyone from uploading it here, "stopping using GitHub" for me consists in (a) not visiting the site if I don't have a very good reason to, (b) not hyperlinking to content on GitHub if there is any other option, and (c) promoting viable alternatives, such as Codeberg.
