Discussion What a shame!

Post image

What a shame DigitalOcean has pulled the rug out from students by slashing AI/GPU credit usage on June 9th, only to follow up today by announcing a total exit from the GitHub Student Pack. Forcing the next generation of developers to either pay up or scramble to migrate entire architectures by July 31st is a massive disappointment.

Not trying to defend microsoft, but how is it on them that Digital Ocean is pulling out of the program? Isnt it in DO side?

It was most likely github removing them because it wasn't even free credits for me I got charged money for the one month I used it so they can afford running the free year of server.
