😲🤬 re: what's happened to @Codeberg today.
The AI ballyhoo *is* a real DDoS against one of the few code hosting sites that takes a stand against slurping #FOSS code into LLM training sets — in violation of #copyleft.

Deregulation/lack-of-regulation will bring more of this. ∃ plenty of blame to go around, but #Microsoft & #GitHub deserve the bulk of it; they trailblazed the idea that FOSS code-hosting sites are lucrative targets.

Just moved al my #git repos from #GitHub to my own #Forgejo instance.
I did complete setup with #sso (single sign on) using #KeyCloak and with in-docker runner.

Up until today's morning I was going to install gitlab, but I was persuaded by being presented as lightweight, fully selfhostable, 100% open and with federating features on the way.

Looking forward to try some federation stuff.

Although I understand the reasons behind it, I still believe that tying the #Flathub infrastructure to #GitHub was a strategic mistake.

#flatpak #linux


We should now all leave #github for #codeberg. Codeberg is free, open source and works great!

Lets go! Leave fascist colaborators behind!


Last week: "Oh no, GitHub's CEO says embrace AI or leave the profession."

This week: "Oh no, GitHub's CEO is leaving."

Next week, "Oh no, GitHub..."

Let's channel this angst into a more productive alternative: join.codeberg.org/

#Codeberg #GitHub



I was wondering why I couldn't comment on files in pull requests anymore. Good going, ass hats. #github #accessibility #fail


There are quite a few engineering jobs at #GitLab and even at #GitHub sometimes, but I have no proven experience in #Ruby


it is curious how many people feel they need to ask me why #curl is not moving off #GitHub

The cold and boring answer is money. GitHub sponsors us with a crapload of CI infra that there is no other company even close to doing.

So while they may be an AI-first delusional company, they help our project so much more than all other hosting sites combined.

It would be reckless and irresponsible of us to ignore this.

#Catima 2.36.0 is out!

In this release we added a card list widget, one of the most requested features since the project was started!

We hope to extend the widget in the future to allow you to choose which cards you want to show and how you want them sorted.

Coming soon to an app store near you!

I am having a consistent problem where I am unable to clone everything from this repository into my local machine. Every time I clone using the command line, none of the documentation shows up. only one folder seems to show up and that appears to be the GitHub folder. Does anyone know what the cause of this could possibly be and how to rectify the issue? github.com/buttondown/docs #OpenSource #Git #GitHub #CLI


#AI is a tool. I had a log message as a huge JSON string mangled in one line with no spaces. I wanted to quickly skim through it with my screen reader line by line (because if going by word, screen reader stops at punctuation which is desirable in most cases, but not in this one, plus it's still super inconvenient). I told #GitHub #Copilot to pretty-print the JSON and convert timestamps into UTC dates. Three seconds of time, huge boost for me.


100K. One hundred thousand. That's a lot of #Catima users! And happy users, it seems, looking at that 4.5 star rating ❤️

Just, wow, I never expected my little hobby app to reach 100K active users, and that's just on #GooglePlay, still excluding other app stores like #IzzyOnDroid, #FDroid, direct downloads from #GitHub and sketchy app piracy sites (please don't use that last one, for your own safety 😅)!

Very cool :)


#GitHub, issue labels: On my request the default colors are labeled with meaningful names, not only with hex codes.
I.e., you want to create several labels for your GitHub-powered workflow: bug, Enhancement, Dependency Updates, and so on.
It's very nifty if you mark all those labels with different colors: red for bug, yellow for dependency, blue for enhancement and so on.
But what if you are blind? Before you had only hex codes randomly thrown at you, and you had to be a CSS guru to know that those six hexits represent, say, teal or dark green.
Now it's fixed, and you can select one of the default colors with a press of a button, and those colors have meaningful English names in front of their hex codes.
Well done, GitHub! #Accessibility #Microsoft cc @cariefisher


#curl survey 2025 respondents are not fans of #GitHub, but also not terribly against it...

(piece of the full analysis that I'm working on)


In a private #Github organization, in a private repo filled with NDA code, Github decided that to automatically start reviewing that code using Copilot.

Mind you, Copilot is disabled for this organization.

Could we please just fucking not ?! Not even mentioning the fact that the Github organization didn't enabled this, there is no data policy to be found in sight. I have no clue what Copilot does with the data after it "reviewed" the code and I could potentially be breaking the signed NDA.

#Catima 2.35.1 is out! This is a very boring release, just containing some dependency and translation updates. It also adds 1 new community-contributed language: Persian.

If your favourite language is not (completely) supported, consider contributing on hosted.weblate.org/projects/ca… (no AI or "Google Translate" translations please, nobody is helped by low-quality translations filled with errors).

In some #awesome news, Trump's #AI plans have been leaked on #github, which others have now backed up for themselves.

First reported yesterday by 404 Media, the #tech is to launch on July 4th. Besides a #chatbot, there are APIs to connect to other models, and some other agency tech.

Despite Trump's rush to deploy widespread AI, many experts have valid #security and #privacy concerns regarding access to #confidential #data.

This will render #github completely useless. Time to move to alternatives like @Codeberg !



#Catima 2.35.0 is out!

This release lets you further tweak the barcode size in the fullscreen view and slightly improves barcode finding reliability when scanning or loading a barcode from an image or PDF file. It also fixes a crash when trying to load a pkpass file without a barcode in it.

In a move that surprises absolutely noone, GitHub now requires users to login in order to browse public repositories (including open source projects). After a few (~10) requests, you get blocked (I can confirm). In order to fight AI scrapers, I guess.

So, GitHub decided to blanket-limit access to open source projects as a defense against the very scourge that they(r parent company) unleashed on the world.

I won't be hypocrite: it's a bit embarrassing, but undeniably satisfying to say "told you so". I moved away from GitHub long ago and I moved all my stuff to Codeberg instead. And so happy I did!

Next step: radicle.xyz maybe?

Three years ago I got my second #GitHub contribution matrix in steel:

Yeps, those are the two i have. Nothing since.


#Catima 2.34.5 is out!

This is a maintenance release that targets Android 15 and fixes a crash.

The app will look slightly uglier on some devices, due to Google's changes in how drawing over the system and navigation bar works. Sadly, supporting proper edge-to-edge requires extensive rewrites (help very welcome!), so I opted to at least ensure we target Android 15 before any deadlines.

I just lost access to a substantial amount of issues on one of my #GitHub projects.

I would appreciate if people could help upvote github.com/orgs/community/disc… to get more attention.

GitHub staff won't even tell me how much data they've hidden from me, which is quite discouraging :(
