    You go accepting one small thing after another, and soon you will be locked into a crappy service.

      How could you possibly be locked into GitHub lol, just move your repositories to a different service and shut up

      Sure mate.

      It’s like covid where we got told we’re all going to die from the vaccine and there will be super cancers or whatever.

      Years later, and it hasn’t happened.

      Firefox made Google their starting page decades ago. They profit from it, have things gotten worse? No… Better stop using Firefox and move to edge. But, based on your comment, they should have by now

      This is literally a tiny non intrusive text just mentioning a service they offer. Everyone would be confused unless it didn’t have that red square

      Are vendors no longer even allowed to link to their own services now? Because in another thread, Microsoft literally got accused of this because they offered things like issue tracking in GitHub. It’s apparently fine for other vendors to do this though.

      May I recommend you complain about this on the front page of the github repos you own if you actually believe it’s a big deal?

      It might have even been there for months lol
