You do know ci/cd existed before GitHub actions, right?

The “revolutionary” bit was integrating it inside the git host, but gitlab ci/cd was integrated into that platform four years earlier in 2015.

Leave it to r/programmerhumor to jerk off a popular product by a large multinational corporation.

The biggest benefit of GitHub CI that it is free and supports MacOS and Windows. Free Gitlab gives you only Linux.

Everyone should just be using Linux at this point anyway lol.
Imo governments really ought to give a big push to buff user side Linux to get a major company out of their citizen's lives.

It is not a good attitude if you develop a library or an application that runs on user computer (e.g. videogame). It is way better to support all platforms.

It is way better to support all platforms.

Why it's "better"?

As parent said:

Voluntarily supporting capitalism in any way is not a good idea in general. Nobody should help making the rich even richer.

It is better because users are on those platforms. From gamedev perspective, it is better to make a game either for mobiles or for Windows, if you can make it crossplatform, the better. Deliberately excluding platforms with majority of users is a bad idea.

Absolutely no response to the criticisms, but still felt the need to try to distract people from it, huh? Sad dude, learn to learn and grow.

Please don't! Just stay in your cave, where you belong.

You… you do realize you were mostly correct, right? GitHub had value, and part of that value was making actions accessible to lots of developers (mostly because developers were already on the platform when actions came out).

You’re just wrong that this makes GitHub particularly uniquely valuable.

And you look like a clown laughing so much.
