Finally releasing a v1, already working on a switch from GTK to Qt v2.

Being the gateway, access point, and ad server of the internet certainly does not bode well for fairness or openness, or stability (in more ways than one).

I hope something comes out of it. I’ll be interested to read the courts assessment and reasoning.

Finally, when something is hard to read because it’s small I can stretch it!

The article is pretty bad.

It argues in bad faith against GitHub, conflates addressing the reader and their own community (suddenly “we …”), fails to see how despite not being FOSS you can be pro FOSS, names the vendor lock-in but fails to present advantages and disadvantages… I think the tone is pretty bad as well.

For the most part, I dislike when projects and people self-host. It’s a barrier to me to read and participate. Different interface and UX, no account, different needs for registration, Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, unclear long-term stability.

I like Forgejo and Codeberg. It has a good and well-known user interface, is fast to use, FOSS, and has a centralized platform., and is working on federation which could ease pain points of distributed and split hosting.

I find SourceHut UI unstructured; very confusing.

When GitLab came up, there was a time when I used it for my new projects, and moved some onto there, but eventually moved back to GitHub. Hosting it myself at work; self-hosting it is huge, heavy, bloated.

The main reasons I still use GitHub are that it is free, feature-rich, fast, familiar, and one platform. I much prefer a low barrier to entry and uniform between projects as long as GitHub acts well enough, even if it is not FOSS itself.

I would hate to see people follow this article and further spread out FOSS, increasing barriers to entry. I have left exploring projects and contributing because of that barrier on multiple occasions and projects.

I’m hopeful for Codeberg and Forgejo. Codeberg can serve as a centralized platform already. Should Federation land, it can serve as a base for self-hosted instances, reducing many pain points of a heterogeneous and self-hosted-distributed field.

Side story: When SourceForge became shit, I created and executed an issue ticket migration for a significant FOSS project. Thankfully we can change platforms like that when you’re not fully locked in but have accessible or natively distributable data.

yt-dlp has SponsorBlock support/integration. So if the community provided the information, it can be dropped.

The title made it sound like a full lock-in. But one survived.

Harper grabbed a bar from his truck and handed it to another bystander, who managed to break the back window and pull the young woman to safety.

Tesla has faced criticism in the past for the design of its manual release levers, which are considered poorly designed and unintuitively placed.
