It's always good to remind oneself, that most dictators in history came to power through legal means. The Nazi's were democratically elected at first etc. Plus "Complying with a mandatory legal process" is a very relative thing for a multi-national giant corporation that pays very little taxes, hides most of its wealth offshore and is a leader in shaping the law through intensive lobbying.

Github, via extension of its owner Microsoft, is owned by some of the most regressive, monopolistic, oligarchic/kleptocratic, big-finance forces on the planet - the likes of Blackrock, Berkshire, Gates, etc. It is very much in their interest to centralize and control open source/free software (free as in freedom), and they have a well established track record of doing just that, by any means necessary. To say it more poignantly: Microsoft is a direct driver of perverse wealth inequality, endless wars and centralisation of power which effectively destroys any resemblance of democracy everywhere. Behind the clean corporate facade, they are just another mafia. If you support this system - by hosting your code on Github and buying MS products - you are de-facto supporting this techno-dictatorship.

Weaponising open source is a new low, even for this particularly clueless US regime. But this is really only meaningful in the short-term. In the mid-term (2030ish), the tech game is very likely to have drastically changed: Other countries will have taken the technological lead (china & co), while the US is still engaged in endless internal conflicts (in effect a mafia-state, akin to what happend in Russia after 1990). All the global talent that once powered the US tech innovation motor (droves of Chinese, Indian, Russian and European PhD students etc.) will have disappeared. At that point, we might see headlines along the lines of "Globally leading open source platform Gitea Blocked US Access". Personally, i would prefer to see yet another scenario, where the entire global Intellectual property market collapsed and was replace by "open source everything" - but that might be a more long term vision.

The authors often don´t provide one or the other, so we opted to give them choice over convention. API integrations are planned down the line. As well as using machine learning techniques to cut down on noise.

top abstract = human readable overview of what paper/code describes. the other abstracts are paper/code specific - which often deviate allot. The aim is to give you an overview at a glance. If you have ideas on how to improve, please post them on our github issues page, always open for great suggestions!
