GitHub was down

I still don't understand people who always mentions to Microsoft's acquisition. Until the official statement, it isn't Microsoft failure. Don't blame them.

I think you're right in that blaming Microsoft without any evidence is probably a mistake, but I also think "until the official statement, it isn't Microsoft failure" is putting a bit too much faith in corporate PR as a source of truth.

The following article has been shared in HN recently, so there's some ground to those claims

It’s a pattern. GitHub is now down a lot.

I have to agree that this feels like an abnormal amount of downtime the past few months -- it would be interesting to see some actual data over a longer term.

97% increase in minutes of downtime since Microsoft.

Could be better reporting now though.

Blaming without context or proof, outrage culture and assaulting people who were not convicted of anything yet is the Internet's primary sport.

You know if you use Microsoft products every day, and every day they let you down, and every day you experience the worst most unintuitive design in the world, and every day you have to deal with their reliability issues, and then MS acquires github, and github starts to behave like everything else MS touches ...

Clearly something about how MS runs is responsible for their past outcomes, why is it a stretch to assume it is responsible for another similar outcome?

It is like saying we don't know the rotation of the earth is why the sun rose this morning because we have not had an official investigation into the matter.

It's just your own feelings. I haven't had any issue with Microsoft products (and yes I use their services every day in my working life). All I can see from you is making a guess with your full of sentiments and negative thoughts. So as I said, don't blame them until official statement.

> I haven't had any issue with Microsoft products

How old are you? Where you using tech during the Win95 times? BSODs, office dying on you (Norton crashward anyone?) , plug and pray? Hotmail eating all your mail without a warning, Internet Explorer malware, NetBios worm (which infected your pc as soon after you installed windows) and oooh so many more.

There is data about this, which makes it more than pure anecdotes.

Nope. Github is down, I don't feel it is down, it is down. Office 365 falls apart when two people try edit a spreadsheet at once. Outlook does not allow you to unreject a meeting invite. Windows won't report DLL errors over a powershell terminal, Azure takes 10 minutes to delete a VM instance, Azure DevOps is so poorly designed that nobody can figure out how to find a repo without someone explaining it to them first, I can go on, but none of this is my feelings, these are actual things that people have to put up with from MS every day.

You seem to have problems with online stuff. I don't use cloud and have no such problems.

I prefer my option which is to just not use MS products but to each their own.
