It's that time of the month again, this time I wrote a whole blog about it:

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 :(

After gradually moving all my code repositories from #Github to @Codeberg I have now disabled my Github Sponsors account. A very big thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years. 😍
Not just in light of recent events - after all this is a process I started over two years ago - but also in light of recent events I want to have as little dependencies as possible to platforms run by the Tech Oligarchs.

Decided to sign up for #Codeberg, the #GitHub alternative that the Fediverse at large is insisting is worth a try and, in some cases, claiming will improve project contributions by avoiding some of the GH antipatterns. I expected to find some #accessibility issues; this is the modern web, after all.
I did not expect a fully inaccessible visual CAPTCHA with no workarounds. I'm unable to solve it, so I cannot create an account.
In short: If you want people who are #blind or #lowVision to contribute to your projects (you do, right?), Codeberg is currently not an #accessible platform.

For the past few months, we've been working on decreasing our dependence on #bigtech - most notably, our dependence on #Microsoft via #Github.
We've been experimenting with @forgejo (which is very enjoyable), setup the build proces on our own hardware.
Since yesterday, the main instance is also hosted by #hetzner. There are still a few dependencies, but the main hurdles have been taken!

#catima 2.34.4 is out!
This reverts Catima to targetSdk 34 (Android 14) for now, to fix the UI regressions introduced in Catima 2.34.3.
It also includes the fixes in 2.34.3 and a new little feature to sort your cards by the "valid from" date, useful for things like train tickets.
Coming soon to an app store near you!

Ability to sort cards by start of validity Temporarily revert to targeting Android 14 to fix some UI issuesGitHub
Happy holidays to all who celebrate them!
I just released a minor Catima bugfix release: 2.34.2. This version fixes the archived/starred status being hard to see or even invisible when displayed on top of certain card images.
Coming soon to an app store near you :)
*ticket created*
Dear GitHub support,
I have just been notified of access to GitHub Copilot having been added to my account, and I cannot find a way to disable that.
I build my reputation on original software that I write, and I do not want risking accidental copyright infringement or worse by having github surreptitiously push "smart" features I do not need on my account.
I am writing to ask for a complete removal of Copilot features from my account. Failing that, I would like a written confirmation that Copilot is not touching anything related to my account, and possibly a procedure I can use at any time to verify and prove that to my customers.
Best regards,
Enrico Zini
Nonprofit work is hard. It takes a lot of time, dedication and, more often than not, you see volunteers taking in multiple different tasks and responsibilities to keep everything running. Thankfully, we occasionally get external contributors that help us out!
For instance, I would post something serious so as to promote our nonprofit, but it seems like #GitHub decided to help us with the marketing for the day by sending a bunch of its users (multiple) emails about GitHub Copilot. 😅
#Catima 2.34.1 is out!
This fixes a minor bug in Catima 2.34.0 where selecting an "invalid" pkpass file (corrupted/not actually pkpass) after choosing to open from Pkpass would cause the app to crash. Now, you just get a little message stating the file could not be read instead.
Coming soon to an app store near you.
#Catima 2.34.0 is out!
This release adds support for #Passbook (#pkpass) files, commonly used for event tickets and more!
It also contains some other minor fixes and better handling of image thumbnails (especially transparent ones).
On the end-user side, this release probably doesn't look that different, but it contains some major code refactoring. It is also the first release with #Kotlin code in it.

#Catima 2.32.1 is out!
This fixes a regression in 2.32.0 which could break text display in the add dialog in non-English languages which I sadly missed in review: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…
It also contains some translation updates that were submitted between the last release and just now.

🆕 blog! “GitHub's Copilot lies about its own documentation. So why would I trust it with my code?”

Three hours ago #Github released an "AI Autofix" feature: github.blog/news-insights/prod…
Now their entire system is completely offline.
Oops.
With Copilot Autofix, developers and security teams can keep new vulnerabilities out of code and confidently remediate their backlog security debt.Mike Hanley (The GitHub Blog)
A man sits alone, slumped at a desk, his knuckles pressed hard into his eye sockets. He is the last remaining employee. All the engineers have been made redundant.
"Copilot, please fix our production system", weeps the #Github manager, as desperate tears leak through his hands.
"Certainly, sir, I will apply the recommended hot patch immediately" replies the system, and yet another indicator flashes red on the status page.
@markuswerle @jakob @pluralistic This is how I interpret the situation: #GitHub offers open source programs free access to GitHub actions today exactly as it did in the past. This access is limited in CPU performance and parallelism. It always was. All free CI services do this.
The #curl project was bumped to a fancier account to give us more actions powers: more CPU and more parallelism.
That is them doing us a favor and them supporting us, not the other way around.
In just a couple of weeks, Carie Fisher and Jesse Dugas from the GitHub Accessibility team will be sharing the accessibility features of GitHub Copilot that you can use to enhance your own projects.
