The article says it well - this sort of thing may encourage people to get involved in open source github alternatives just as this slop on windows has moved some people to linux.
I dont believe we will get a huge movement but every little bit grows the open source community which benefits everyone. It doesnt need to be the majority it just needs to be a growing minority to thrive and grow. Ironically Microsoft has always been very good at encouraging people to get involved in open source ventures just by behaving badly.

quite amazing that (a) Microsoft basically bought open source with GitHub (b) and are now trying to fuck it up so hard people leave

And that's why I Codeberg now. I even give a few bucks every month to pretend I'm paying a subscription.

Someone should come up with a catchy alliterative name for this tactic of incorporating competing ideas in Microsoft product family, augmenting them with their own proprietary crap and pulling the rug after achieving lock-in. Maybe call it AAA for "Adopt, add on, annihilate".
