Digitale Erpressung durch App-Zwang: Immer mehr Dienste zwingen uns zur Nutzung von Apps – und das auf Kosten unserer Daten und Wahlfreiheit. Ob Online-Banking, Bonusprogramme oder Rabatte, ohne App geht oft nichts mehr. Datenschutz bleibt dabei auf der Strecke, während die Abhängigkeit von wenigen Großkonzernen wächst. Es ist höchste Zeit, Alternativen zu fordern und die digitale Selbstbestimmung zu bewahren! #AppZwang #Datenschutz #DigitaleFreiheit

Доступна платформа совместной разработки Forgejo 9.0, перешедшая на лицензию GPLv3
Опубликован выпуск платформы совместной разработки Forgejo 9.0, позволяющей развернуть на своих серверах систему для совместной работы с репозиториями Git, напоминающую по решаемым задачам GitHub, Bitbucket и Gitlab. Forgejo является форком проекта Gitea, который в свою очередь ответвился от платформы Gogs. Отделение Forgejo произошло в 2022 году после попыток коммерциализации Gitea и перехода управления в руки коммерческой компании. Проект Forgejo придерживается принципов независимого управления и подконтрольности сообществу. На использование Forgejo перешёл Git-хостинг Codeberg.org. Код проекта написан на языке Go и распространяется под лицензией MIT.
