THIS is a REAL hackers's file system.

no THIS is: https://github.com/DomJob/DomFS

Microsoft and its subsidiaries have become complicit to United States nepotism regarding trade control laws between Iran, Russia, Syria, and many other countries. Most recently, Github has restricted people from these regions from accessing their private repositories and the static website host Github Pages.

Free and ethical technology use denounces such crony nepotism oppressing individuals from practicing technological liberties and hacker culture. Please consider using https://sourcehut.org/ as your new host for your projects. Sourcehut is 100% libre, composable, Javanoscript-free, and does not track you at all!

Shame on Microsoft, Github, and these despotic laws.

GitHub started blocking accounts of Iranian devs, afraid that they will use it to develop nuclear bombs.

Recently, GitHub started banning Iranians 🇮🇷 from their platform for no apparent reason, other than a very generic rule in their Trade Control terms, stating that GitHub cannot be used "for purposes ... related to the development, production, or use of nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons or long range missiles or unmanned aerial vehicles." (actually due to US sanctions).



¯\_(ツ)_/¯


I could also possibly use GitHub to create nuclear pony weapons, however I haven't been banned (yet) from GitHub: the ban is based on the regional setting of the GitHub account, essentially discriminating users from Iran, Crimea and other "enemy" countries (I love you all btw ❤️❤️❤️).

I strongly encourage you to protest and demand a response from GitHub, either by sharing this message and the #githubForEveryone hashtag, or by contributing to the following GitHub repo, with your support:

I've already contributed to the repo with a small noscript that can be used to broadcast a #githubForEveryone message to all Telegram chats.
