TPM is a dedicated chip or firmware enabling hardware-level security, housing encryption keys, certificates, passwords, and sensitive data, “and shielding them from unauthorized access,” Microsoft senior product manager Steven Hosking wrote last month, declaring TPM 2.0 to be “a non-negotiable standard for the future of Windows.”

    I’m okay to get downvoted.

    But unless the solution provides a easy way to create issues and MRs, has high upstream and I can read the code in a browser, then I’m sticking with GitHub.

    I say this as a person who contributes to open source and I absolutely know that if I hate something, I should fix it. But I’m dumb as rocks and I just want to contribute, and GitHub hasn’t Enshittified itself to a point that stops me from doing that. Yes, it’s under Microsoft.

    I’ve tried a few others, and I keep going back to GitHub because it has the least barriers of entry. I can contribute, I can get feedback, and I can move on.

      There are a few quite good alternatives, like codeberg.org and gitlab. But, im not really disagreeing. Perhaps out of familiarity, GitHub UI/Features is still my favorite.

      Gitlab is ok, and Codeberg is getting there.

      I think the main thing that keeps me on GitHub is the network effect - all the other projects are there. They also have very generous (basically anti-competitive) free tiers.
