I am wondering how long this will last and at what point they will prohibit repo owners from using alternative funding methods like bounty source or bitcoin.
Since Microsoft's goal with everything they've been doing in the past few months has been to gain developer trust and mindshare (WSL, a better windows terminal, all the new Github features, etc.), I don't see this as a realistic outcome. They also don't seem to plan on monetizing this, as they're currently giving away free money and said they'll only start charging transaction fees next year. This whole endeavor is to get developers on Github so companies will pay to use Github enterprise
WSL is terrible and gives me a bad impression of MS (and gives Linux a bad name). Their new terminal isn't out yet as far as I know.
I found the contrary, different perspective perhaps :) - I do almost everything on Windows and WSL
In what way is WSL "terrible"?
I use it quite frequently, and I quite like it.
It is incredibly slow (20X), distro installs can't keep up, Docker doesn't work, systemd doesn't work, drive mounting has issues, and lack of a descent terminal.
How would they even enforce that? I can't see that ever working, or even making any sense.
Censor/block/hellban all links that point to the biggest competitors? It's not exactly a huge list.
If that was the goal, they wouldn’t have added funding.yml to begin with.
