A World After Microsoft (and GAFAM) and After GitHub Shuts Down
Fake 'productivity' (slop plagiarism) is not productive.
GAFAM's influence around the world is waning* and microsoft.com losing visitors is just some arbitrary datapoint, not to be taken as scientific proof of anything. There can be many factors (for us too, during the weekend one of our articles was accessed over 50,000 times).
For GAFAM and IBM, the only growth area is debt. In the past year GAFAM's debt rose by well over 150 billion dollars, even 200+ billion if one counts Oracle as well. In less than a year!
At the moment National Sovereignty relies on Digital Sovereignty and it is a matter of National Security.
There are massive cuts and mass layoffs at Microsoft this year. The media repeats Microsoft's lies about the losses being "investments" and layoffs being "buyouts". Little by little, GitHub too is collapsing. From yesterday: "Microsoft's Code Entrapment (Microsoft GitHub) in Trouble a Month After Its Chief Quietly Quits Microsoft"
Free (gratis) hosting means Microsoft losses and it's only a matter of time before GitHub gets 'Skyped' (shut down for financial reasons).
Nat Friedman, former CEO of GitHub (lost job after a Techrights exposé), has been massively demoted in GAFAM and it looks like he aged at warp speed - he looks like he is in his 50s now. The CEO that came after him left the company and then, just months later, the next person in charge of GitHub also left the company.
In case it is not obvious, GitHub is dead man walking at this point. If it shuts down, it will mostly cause disruption to rivals of GitHub's steward. And maybe that's the point of buying GitHub. █
