Just in case you don't already have a million good reasons to avoid giving BorgSoft money, or eating any pie they've had their filthy fingers in ...

... they're also the IBM of the 21st century, providing computer systems that help fascists do ethnic profiling more efficiently. Making them accessory to genocide

"The system was built to sit on Microsoft’s servers behind enhanced layers of security developed by the company’s engineers with Unit 8200’s instructions. The leaked Microsoft files suggest that a large proportion of the unit’s sensitive data may now be sitting in the company’s datacentres in the Netherlands and Ireland."

That data needs to be seized, and both Unit 8200 bosses and top BorgSoft executives hauled up for war crimes.

Oh and if you're still using GritHub as your code forge, obliging people to have and use a GH account to file bugs and push patches, you're collaborating with BorgSoft. Who have been knowingly enabling ethnic profiling for years, and continued to do so as it segued into genocide.

Please, don't do that.

I use and recommend CodeBerg, but there are many options. This list needs updating but gives a sense of the variety that existed a few years ago;

FYI hosting projects on GritHub also hides them behind the Great Firewall of China, making them inaccessible to anyone there who doesn't have access to a reliable VPN. So using GH discriminates against the Chinese, and blocks about 1% of the population from seeing or participating in your project.

Again, please, don't do that.
