Hi, I'm Kira. 🦊

I like free & open source software a lot.

However, I don't like the business practices of GitHub nor Microsoft (GitHub's parent company), such as vendor lock-in.

I think open source projects should not be hosted by closed-source software, nor run by a large for-profit business. Ditto for package managers.

I think that AI is generally harmful, because this society hasn't learned to use it responsibly, re: exploitation in the training process, and re: the high energy demands (often sated with fossil fuels) they promote. (re: GitHub's Copilot product)

For these reasons I have decided to publish new work on Codeberg instead: https://codeberg.org/kira/

Another nice option is sourcehut.

I hope you look closely at GitHub and Microsoft as well, and consider making your own decision in line with your values.
