A massive source of notifications on #GitHub is the automatic dependencies update (dependabot, scala-steward). That's a lot of noise that I ignore.
For personal stuff, only security updates are useful. For everything else, set a periodic reminder, and update them all in one go.
Catima 2.29.0 is out!
This release adds support for finding barcodes in PDF files[1] and dealing with multiple barcodes. It also properly colours the status bar during usage now.
As always, it's available on #GitHub, will soon be available on #IzzyOnDroid and will slowly roll out to other app stores.

#Catima 2.27.0 is out!
Honestly a fairly small release, mostly small UI tweaks and a minor bugfix. But that's fine, it's great when software updates are boring without major changes so there is nothing new to learn :)
Available on #GitHub right now, on #IzzyOnDroid within 24 hours and on other stores when they update (see the FAQ on https://catima.app for details).
Hope y'all enjoy it :)
One trick to make your life much better as a maintainer and help contributors
Have a Makefile directive to run everything that runs on CI
`make x` is all it should take to verify the changes pass automated tests
Linter, formatter, sorter, unit tests, etc
If tooling is needed then add a `make setup` directive that takes care of installing it

On this day in 1999, 24 years ago, we started hosting the #curl source code on Sourceforge. Like all the cool kids. CVS baby!
In 2010 we switched to using git, hosted on #GitHub: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2010/03/23/curl-goes-git/
Another article on #OpenSource, this time written by Richard Pope, who was one of the founding members of the UK’s #GDS. There is just so much for which governments can benefit by engaging with the open source communities that they use. Furthermore, the government contributing their work back to the public #GitHub or #GitLab repositories makes the code more secure and drives down the costs for #DigitalGovernment.

There have been many criticism towards GitHub on the Fediverse (#GiveUpGitHub). Some even say it's the "Twitter of hosting code". While I understand the rationale, I disagree. Been using GitHub for over a decade now and have hundreds of repositories there. Without GitHub it would be amazingly difficult to manage. I use for-profit products by Microsoft, can you imagine some of them have their place in the world?
I can quit Twitter, Facebook, etc. and self-host almost anything, but not my and the firm's code. Why?

# ⚠️ This repository has moved away from GitHub
## 👉️ [<app name> git repository (source code)](https://codeberg.org/)
Its new home is on [Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/), an independent and ethical not-for-profit git hosting service that’s powered by donations, doesn’t track you, and is hosted in the EU.
(They also don’t [violate your licenses to train their shitty AIs](https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/106500204227978913).)

The reason #github has kept its mountain 🗻 market share is its social network. The only true way to fight centralization is by joining our abilities as a collective. Through choice and breadth of interconnected forges we hold strength. An actual #DVCS.

As soon as there is, I think people will start moving away. Not many, but some. Federation is a must-have, because otherwise creating accounts just for reporting a bug is just too much of a task for the average user and sometimes even for more "advanced" users. I certainly would be much happier if I could just use my own instance and create a bugreport/issue/etc on some project hosted somewhere else!
Of course, #sourcehut does already provide everything we would need. Also, Email is THE workflow with #git IMO. But I acknowledge that its just not enough for most users and they want some kind of #forge and bling-bling website like github. I do not blame them.
https://drewdevault.com/2022/06/23/Copilot-GPL-washing.html
As the author of this article says - free software should be dependant on free software architecture - I recommend https://codeberg.org as an open-source alternative to Github.
Sadly Github is no longer a platform that can be trusted.

github copilot is incredible. it just sells code other people wrote, but because it's an "AI" it is apparently allowed to launder that code without it being a "derivative work". lol. lmao. what an amazing grift.
