Enshittification of GitHub?

First, they restricted code search without logging in so I'm using sourcegraph But now, I cant even view discussions or wiki without logging in.

It was a nice run

You don’t need the question mark. If something is for-profit (or can be used for profit) then sooner or later it will be enshittified.

They have teams of people whose entire job is figuring out ways to wring a few more cents from somebody. Put them at the helm of a company that’s stood for 1000 years and they’ll be thrilled at how easy it will be to use that name to sell plastic dogshit at a premium price.

No. I am able to decide for myself, whether or not I need 2FA. A code via E-Mail is enough for me. If you feel like you need 2FA; feel free to enable it for yourself...

A code via E-Mail is enough for me.

Which basically is another type of 2FA...

At least this one isn't utter bullshit

You are right. It is much worse, but hey, who am I to say to you how to protect your data ?

Not sure how a company can turn a public digital key or a mathematically calculated number (both of them completely unlinked to your real identity in any way) to profit. But you do you I guess.

Well, I never said that. It just generally shows the direction, they are heading. They are literally FORCING you to enable that. I am not a baby. I don't need a babysitter.
