How much more cases like this do we need to switch to a decentralized (either via blockchain, torrent, IPFS or something else) so that no one can stop freedom to shre code anymore?


Decentralized services need to be much faster and responsive than they are now, and if they would really work for this purpose, then they'll be shut down by some law - like how encrypted transmission is banned on ham radio frequencies[0]. So the most we can enjoy is the small times the mouse is winning in the cat and mouse game. No "anymore" or anything like that.

Good idea. Every time I commit and push my commits, I pay ledger fees and wait for the settlement for unknown amount of time


Decentralized doesn't always mean blockchain.


the OP mentioned blockchain, so this sarcasm was directed at that


I've explicitly gave other examples than blockchain solely for this reason.
