FSF Urges Moving Off Microsoft's GitHub to Protest Windows 11's Requiring TPM 2.0 (news.slashdot.org)

TPM is a dedicated chip or firmware enabling hardware-level security, housing encryption keys, certificates, passwords, and sensitive data, "and shielding them from unauthorized access," Microsoft senior product manager Steven Hosking wrote last month, declaring TPM 2.0 to be "a non-negotiable standard for the future of Windows."

Myself, I moved my projects to self-hosted gogs (maybe forgejo soon) but kept placeholders with a README.md and link on github so people can still find them.

That was going to be my follow-up question lol: How should I handle the original repo? Leave it at the last commit and add a "We moved" note, strip it down to a stub that points to the new repo, or something else.

I was feeling particularly grumpy and did a final commit that 'git rm'ed everything but the new README.md, yeah.

One could even risk deleting the github repo and re-creating it w/same name to remove all old content...
