I don't mean to be facetious here. It's just that if GitHub doesn't end up going through the usual enshittification process, it'll be quite the anomaly.
Now, maybe it'll be an anomaly, exceptions to rules exist. But it just seems to be an endless cycle, trusting these companies, getting burnt, trusting again, getting burnt again. Is there no end to the cycle? Is there some new pressure on these companies to behave better that was not there before, and therefore we should all give them (yet) another chance?
I don't see why we would, personally. It even seems obvious to me that we shouldn't. Like in an abusive relationship, no matter the regret and the promises, eventually you've to say enough is enough, and ideally sooner rather than later. Nonetheless, it's very common practice for people who appear at least superficially like smart people to trust these companies a second, third, fourth time.
Either these apparently smart people know something I don't, or they like getting paid large amounts of money so much that they'll stay quiet and use the popular services and simply use their tech savvy to jump to a new thing quickly when the shit hits the fan. Or maybe I just prefer being cynical, and it's a personality thing. Someone, educate me here.
One of the main reasons I pick GitHub issues for this is that they have a very stable, reliable API that I can use to get my data back out again - or use to run continual automated exports, should I ever get around to doing that.
I wouldn't trust any system for my notes that doesn't have this.
Step 2. ...?
