🧵So, here's an updated tl;dr on #Puppet as an #OpenSource project: a fork is absolutely coming now. There was a "town hall" today in which Perforce made it quite clear they are going to claim they want to work with the community while not actually doing so. As a result, those of us who have been following this closely reassembled, determined there was no longer hope of really working together, and that it was time to move forward accordingly.
(this thread is my personal take on things)
I had no idea that Perforce had acquired Puppet Labs. I’m honestly surprised that Perforce is still in business considering they make the worst version control software I’ve ever used, and that was before Git was invented.
Perforce is used, either officially or as a licensed derivative, by some very big name tech companies. I can’t name names, but you very likely wrote this comment on a platform whose code is managed by Perforce.
Wait - are Perforce the clowns behind Visual Source Safe? I entered the workforce only a few years after git really entered the market and had to migrate a project off of VSS.

Like I said, I’ve used it.
I’m a bit confused by this comment. Lemmy uses Git for version control. Where did you think I wrote this?
Maybe they meant the device?
Ubiquitous in the games industry unfortunately, for at least the art side but often code as well.
