It's also why these days I do not host any of my code on Github. Only then did I realize how much of an iron grip it has on the ecosystem. People expect Github Actions, Pull requests and well now people want to use CoPilot for all their work.

It is extremely worrying.

Me neither. I moved to Source Hut. I'll be restarting my work on my previous research and pondering on whether I should keep its code at a Forgejo instance buried under a VPN, until it's ready to release.

Same here, I moved to SourceHut. There are other alternatives that look much more like GitHub for those who like that (like Forgejo).

That's the "extend" part of the embrace, extend, extinguish game plan.
