Microsoft suspended this GitHub user's account for making this PR request. The user lost access to private repos and source code. It's a good reminder that you must keep backups locally. A simple joke could turned into a disaster and you could lose access to all source code including private repos. Better, don't use their services.

An open, closed issue on the torvalds/linux GitHub repository titled: "puppygirl looking for a dom gf, doesn't seem included in kernel #1355."

The issue description funny outlines a "critical bug in my life"

@nixCraftnixCraft ๐Ÿง You just reminded me of the time I got banned from GitHub. It was about a year ago - for no reason at all ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Back then, I barely committed anything, and I used the social features even less. One day, I logged in to activate the Student Pack and saw that my account was banned :blobangery:

Luckily, I contacted support ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ, and if I remember correctly, everything was back to normal the next day. They told me their moderation algorithms (yes, they use AI ๐Ÿค–) had made a mistake, and my account was reactivated.

Still, :github: GitHub has been drifting away from my values for some time now, and that trend hasn't stopped. At the same time, my standards have been gradually getting stricter. So now I'm seriously considering switching to ๐Ÿ”๏ธ @CodebergCodeberg.org. I just need to sort out a few things with my current projects on GitHub, especially the ones I'm not working on alone.
