Microsoft, who acquired GitHub 5 years ago, are demonstrating their true intentions regarding the future of the site that used to be the largest hub of free and open source community projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
I was a user of GitHub before Microsoft acquired it, and they have no moral right to impose their new rules and threaten to lock me out of my work if I don’t obey. You can debate the security, necessity and efficacy of 2FA in general or for GitHub in particular, but to sum up my thoughts on this measure:
– I’m not going to use any form of 2FA for my account on GitHub;
– I find forcing 2FA on long-term users, AND locking out those who don’t want it, unacceptable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, I have decided to leave GitHub permanently. I will not be coming back to GitHub even if they reverse the decision (though obviously they won’t).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among other projects, the following SADX mods and tools have had their source code relocated to GitLab:
Dreamcast Conversion<\/a>
Dreamcast DLC<\/a>
Sound Overhaul<\/a>
Debug Mode<\/a>
SADX Style Water<\/a>
Time of Day<\/a>
SADX Mod Installer<\/a>
SA1-DC-HD<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I am leaving GitHub, I will no longer be able to contribute to the following projects on the X-Hax organization<\/a>:
HD GUI 2
SADX Mod Loader \/ Mod Loader Common
SA Tools and SA Tools Wiki
SA Tools (research)
SADX Modding Wiki
Decompilation projects
bass-vgmstream<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will also be losing the ability to contribute (at least directly) to the following projects:
Lantern Engine<\/a>
Input Mod<\/a>
SADX: Fixed Edition<\/a>
Onion Blur<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on what kind of “restrictions” Microsoft put on my account, I may also become unable to report issues or participate in discussions in the above projects after October 6th, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaving is not easy, and losing touch with the community and projects I’ve put a lot of personal time into building and improving sure hurts. Still, I hope you understand and accept my decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for following my work all this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
