Shiiiit. I remember the site, movie-web.app, getting taken down months ago, I was meaning to self-host it. This year is a dark year for open source piracy repos.

Also fuck github for taking down open source project they don’t like.

What a thicc article but it’s probably the best critique of github in the internet

It's from Software Freedom conservancy, they regularly publish such great articles. These guys do a whole bunch of great work in general, I highly recommend checking their other articles, maybe follow them on Mastodon (@[email protected]) or donate a few bucks to support them.

Just noting that Microsoft acquired Github back in 2018.

was just about to mention this, github literally has a vested interest in killing inconvenient open source projects whenever it sees fit
