MicroSoft GitHub

Because few people asked me in private messages if and why I deleted my GH account, I'm answering here (instead of write it separately to every person).

Some time ago M$ (GH owner) forced me to buy (even if I don't have any income) and use private token to fully use my GH account. So I bought one, because is unique, one over the world and hard to steal.

Previously, Google (Alphabet inc.) removed videos from YT without notice, but now they are providing the time from-to with an explanation of which TOS was violated. So it is possible.

I've had enough of some of the Windows users who have their minds blown, and MicroSoft services.
