    It’s frightening how the OSS ecosystem mostly centralized around GitHub. I’ve been trying all afternoon to debug issues with some libraries and most search results linked to GitHub… which spat out errors every single time.

      “we built this decentralized federated source code control system!”, great let’s get everyone to put all their code in one central location.

        Owned by Microsoft. The ones who have tried to destroy the core concept of open source for multiple human generations now.

        Only partially helpful. For me, when I open up issues archive.org often only has the first post in the thread. Often the stuff is months outdated.

        Don’t get me wrong, the Wayback Machine is an incredibly amazing piece of tech and I use it all the time. But it’s a less-than-satisfactory replacement for a working Github.
