Since Microsoft owns Github, Gitlab is Corp owned now since 2022, why are so many who preach privacy or using Linux, etc, still using a MS product?

Genuine questions. I'm assumming either familiarity & simplicity with GH or difficulty migrating elsewhere?

I've just been freeing up my phone and life from all major data siphons. Social media has been gone for years, but then news about LinkedIn getting way worse with data (which it's already sucked) and sharing now with Amazon, is just BS so I've closed it.

One REALLY annoying thing I've personally noticed and can't confirm but feel it; all the companies with jobs postings basically collect all these applicants data without ever hiring. It's another dataset that can be monetized, so now companies can make money off everyone without much effort. Through some efforts I've read online as all as gone through myself, we all know there job market sucks-especially tech, but I guess I never considered why there are so so many posted jobs still until now.

Fuck them all!!
