"I don't understand why people in this political and ethical movement related to software development and consumption have strong opinions about the politics and ethics of a bunch of software development tools" is an incredibly nuclear level take that boggles the mind

If your FLOSS project self-hosts its issue tracker, may I recommend implementing a rule that redirects any referral coming from reddit to: https://www.myinstants.com/en/instant/fart-with-extra-reverb-63068/

Nothing makes a case for closed source development practices like free and open source software users

To be honest, it's quite shocking just how bad GitHub Actions are as a flagship product; completely opaque, zero debugging or logging, documentation is a toss up between "terse to the point of uselessness" and "LLM-enhanced word vomit". To cap it off, the GitHub documentation itself is so bad it's not even funny.
I didn't know it could happen, but they made me pine for GitLab's CI pipelines, and those are pretty terrible.

Whoever came up with GitHub actions should be tarred and feathered.
That’s it, that’s the toot.
