It's fun if just to watch the consternation.
I don't imagine much will change.
Alan - what up with this reply. Is it a reply to a REALLY OLD Thread? This was the only message I saw from that thread - and my Inbox goes back like 2 years on this machine!

Hey Carl - just curious...
Are you new to this forum? I don't remember seeing replies from you - although going thru old emails I see you sent a posting in like Feb of this year! I've been on here for Years now - and just didn't recognize your name. Also, was surprised by your name - it seemed to ring-a-bell in my head. Then I remembered, there is a Ted Lindner on the morning show here on WBAB on Long Island.
L8r,
Kurt

ProTip: Visit the leafe.com archives for FoxForum, fill in the "Filter on authors containing" textbox, select "OffTopic" and "NonFox" should you want, and "All Messages" to read a brief history of Carl's messages going back 19 years, to a delightful thread at https://leafe.com/archives/full_thread/1624
So many ProTips & So little time...
Another Faux Pas on my part. But, truthfully - all ProfFox emails go into 1 folder - and only 2 emails from Carl in the past 2 years. Guess he normally stays quiet and likes to Lurk.
And - OMG - there were some Pretty DAMN Funny replies in that thread!!! Thanks for pointing it to me Ted.
So - now its time for me to be quiet again...

Not a mistake on your part, just pointing out alternative ways to get the info, spying on your friends for fun and profit, and despite bitrot, The Internet Does Not Forget.

Butt - if it didn't get delivered to ME - maybe that means that there were OTHER folks who also didn't get it!
No???

It's a reply to Stephen's post of 5th June saying that MS had bought Github. Or at least it was intended to be ...
Yesterday's twitter feeds were a hoot. "We're the New Microsoft!" "You can trust us now!"
BitBucket is already advertising their migration plans. (I've had a BB plan for years. git is a Distributed version control system, and I've learned to have fallbacks over the years.)
GitHub needed a buyer and there were a lot of worse options: Oracle. Computer Associates. AT&T. Hopefully the founders made good money from their hard work.
I've been a paying member for years, and got my money's worth. They either keep earning my money, or I move elsewhere.
MS acquisitions under the New Management have a mixed track record. As do, pretty much, all acquisitions, ever.
There are lots of communities who put everything into GitHub and use it for more than just a git repository, and those communities are going to have to do a lot more work if they want to migrate. At the moment, nothing has really changed, and it won't at least until the deal closed (estimated "later this year") and Microsoft starts setting rates and restrictions and new Windows-only APIs and Professional/Ultimate versioning, and then Microsoft Teams integration and features that only work through VS Code and then the folks that don't need that can shop around and move their processes elsewhere. Or maybe Embrace, Enhance, Extend, Extinguish expired with Ballmer and it's a new day.
Make sure you have a towel handy and Don't Panic.

Thank goodness the Ballmer days are gone. Did not like M$ under him as much. Today's leader seems more open minded, willing to play with others, and not a predatory ahole.

They're very different animals for sure. Ballmer was like having the dad in Modern Family in charge.
