      I know the Git part of the GitHub pretty well, trust me. But you still need to create an account and API keys somehow.

      However, GitHub is not as bad as some services, I use it anyway. Just wanted to laugh at the fact half of open source in on that platform.

        So it isn’t necessary to have keys and an account on your preferred git server? What kind of insecure dumpster fire server are you committing code to???

          Don’t know where this idea come from. You need to run GitHub’s proprietary app in order to create an account and do nessesary things. Meanwhile services like Codeberg have both server and client side open source and there are hosts like SourceHut that does not require running any additional code at all.

            What proprietary app do you need to run… The website? Are you seriously arguing that making an account on the website is equivalent to having to run an app on your machine?

            You’re weird.

            God, what a bullshit, bad faith argument. I’m sure you feel like you have the high ground, but seriously, you sound like an idiot.

              What a nice language for constructive discussion…

              And yes. Because it’s not just a simple HTML+CSS website, your browser must pull full-featured, Turing complete compiled to JavaScript code and execute it in order for GitHub website to work.
              There is no much philosophical difference between running JavaScript on V8 engine in Chrome and running Kotlin code on ART in Android.

              Just becasue you don’t see app icon being added to homescreen doesn’t mean there isn’t downloading and running an app.

                I can confidently say at this juncture, that you’re an idiot.

                You know why you’re an idiot? It’s because you don’t understand that arguing in bad faith openly, as you have done, loses the argument for you pretty much outright.
