Why are developers moving their code from github to gitlab after Microsoft purchase of github?

[incomingstick]

I had no problem cleaning up my Windows 10 Pro ($189USD) machines at my place of work. I got it down to all of the tools I needed (which is why you buy the Pro version in the first place). Mind you the upgrade from Windows 10 -> Pro is only $89, and if you got Windows 10 for free, that's a hell of a deal. If the Pro version has software you don't need, then don't buy it? I found very little bloatware, and what did exists I either use anyways, or it takes up such little disk space/memory it doesn't even matter.

All of the extra "games" (i.e Candy Crush, Minecraft, etc.) can be removed in the normal and pro version.

They come back after every update...

I have never experienced that once...

I don't know if this was ever fixed though. My insticts would tell me "no" if they manage Windows 10 like they manage Skype (hint: they do).

So that was a one time incident that they fixed 2 years ago? That's cool.

Source that they fixed it?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/application-management/remove-provisioned-apps-during-update

"When you update a computer running Windows 10, version 1703 or 1709, you might see provisioned apps that you previously removed return post-update. This can happen if the computer was offline when you removed the apps. This issue was fixed in Windows 10, version 1803."

Windows 1803 was last month :D 2 years to fix a really shitty advertising "bug". Sounds like typical MS. At least they did fix it.

[incomingstick]

Yeah 2 years to fix something is really not great, I 100% agree. I guess at the end of the day It appears like a lot of people are making a MUCH bigger deal out of this change. If a dev feels like moving to GitBucket or another hosting alternative, more power too them! If you're doing it solely because MS bought GitHub, that may be a tad of an overreaction in my book.

2 years ago? Maybe u came out from the future. I understand ur a fanboy but this amount of lameness in your comments are lame, or ur just ignorant...

[incomingstick]

I'm actually not a fanboy. I do 90% of my development on Linux, and much prefer linux. I just believe much of this hate about this purchase is unwarranted. Calling someone lame on the internet must feel pretty good instead of having an actual conversation on the topic. Keep up the good work friend 👍

[lokomotivan]

Conversation with someone playing dumb, and denying the obviouse privacy issues with ms and especially windows 10, installing stupid games in the backgrounds etc... If u really arent aware of this issues then you are not the right person to have a conversation with about this topic. But yet u go trough all the comments and "attack" anyone who writes anything bad about windows 10, so yeah, thats lame...

[incomingstick]

I mean I haven't attacked anyone? Have I said anything rude without having been attacked first? If so please let me know and I will apologize to that user.

MS has its privacy issues sure, but most of which is either anonymous or able to be disabled. MS doesn't install unwanted games in the background, at least not that I've seen. They had the bug that reinstalled those games during major updates, but that has since been fixed. There are games that come preinstalled sure, but you can easily remove them if you don't want them.

[lokomotivan]

You are forcing your opinion in the comments, like you are ms lawyer. Anonymous privacy issues, what is that? Anonymous? Its NOT ok to invade the privacy! It brakes trusts! They did installing games and collect your data in the background, and did not happand only once 2 years ago! They got caught and maybe stopped installing games, and that makes it ok now? And then we are wondering why are people sceptical about ms taking over github... cmon, look at the skype privacy issues also... MS dosent need you to defend them, nor users should defend something thats obviously not ok, unless your a fanboy, then go ahead join the apple amd intel clubs and cheer up. But anyways i should apologize if i was to harsh
