GitHub definitely would and has in the past. YouTube-dl is on GitHub and gets a pass because it is used by researchers and archivists, both are fair use. forgejo.org would let you be your own fedi-github and might be worth checking out (could be easier than designing a plugin system and additional repos).

Musk just had a judge in Texas say they're going to review the bid. I guess we know who the other bidder was now.

But then how will billionaires get to say they're literally thinking of the big picture because they got to go on a brief space joy ride?

Not sure who needs to hear this but the amount of money spent on private jets by these billionaires in 1 year could replace all our lead pipes in the USA.

Billionaires are celebrities now? Like that's true for Taylor Swift, but Bezos?

Probably because we'll all be dead, which also happens to be a solution to climate change.

The point is they don't get fired for laying off staff.

The board doesn't "let go" of people willing to do a hatchet job, they hire them into their other companies to do the same. "Failing upwards" is a term that comes to mind.

They are going to regret this?

A company doesn't remember, and the people who are actually responsible don't have regrets cuz the other option was to hand over control to someone else (hopefully more qualified).
