GitHub wants to know where you live by 19 Aug 2024
docs.github.com> Starting August 19th, 2024, GitHub will begin collecting state-mandated sales tax, where and when applicable, from paying customers in the United States to align with industry standard regulatory practices.
Much more reasonable than what the clickbait title seems to say.
Yes. As much as I love to talk smack about GitHub, I can't join on this particular criticism. They're clearly just adhering to tax law here.
…if you live in the US.
...if you pay for it.
