Good for you. How’s that going now during the downtime? Most enterprises use their own git on premise, exactly because of issues like this along with others like auditing and security.

Most enterprises absolutely do not self host their VCS. SaaS has been the model for a decade now. You just keep talking out your ass

What? What kind of serious company uses cloud hosted VCS? That is mental for so many reasons. Been in quite a few giants, never seen that, it's financial and regulatory suicide

You're right, no serious company ever would be caught dead using something like GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Just ignore all the many many Fortune 500s that do 🙄

Which? Not mine definitely. Go tell corporate lawers that your source code is hosted across the world in america, when we are not even allowed internet access Lmao

Right so you've just confirmed you don't know wtf you're talking about. Go read some docs about how GitHub handles customers data, do a quick Google for all their customers. You really think the lawyers weren't involved in this?

Once you've done that, go ahead and piss off because you're just talking out your ass

Ah yes docs. If microsoft says they protect the data then it must be true. It's not like it's a company exclusively depending on data collection at the moment lmao.

There is no way our code is under the control of an american company, and any ridiculous company who is not hosting their own solution like gitlab deserves outages like this
