Abandon Microsoft. Move to Codeberg.
Edit: Spellings
Edit2: setting up a git server takes about 20 mins if you have a machine with disk space and a domain or static IP.
Codeberg mentions this: "On Codeberg you can develop your own Free Software projects,..."
Does this imply developing commercial software etc is against their ToS?
In general yes.
Codebergs base software is forgejo, which is open source, developed by the company behind codeberg. It is generally wanted to deploy your own instance of forgejo to build commercial software.
This is further supported by forgejos current progress to federate git servers with the fediverse standard. This would allow people on codeberg to open issues and pull requests on commercial instances.
I've been waiting for that progress to materialise. Although I really want it to work, it has taken so long now that I doubt it is taken seriously and thus I start to doubt they will keep maintaining it once it does land.
For most commercial software you don't need federation though, so for most you can just spin up your own instance.
It is taken very seriously. There are still monthly reports, also the usual monthly updates specifically mention federation and stuff that was done that month like federated following of users and HTTP signature validation.
Interesting, it does look like there are license restrictions on the faq.
Commercial software can still be free ;) don't do closed source. License fees are so 1990s...
I have literally account in codeberg, gitlab, gitea. Are there any more? I host my projects in all of them lol
Why so many?
FOMO CODO
Fear Of Missing Out on Coding On Different platfOrms
*codeberg
Whoops.
I've also been spelling iceberg wrong my whole life too!
I do use the home feed. Every time there's a new release of a repo it shows up. And I follow the repos of my dependencies. So it is an easy way to be notified when one updates.
Use codeberg.org !
I deleted my Twitter and Reddit accounts this year. I'd love a reason to delete my GitHub account as well. Lay 'em on me!
Github is owned by microsoft. That's enough reason for me
Good one! Keep 'em coming!
Sometimes I forget there’s even a homepage, after months of never seeing it. Then I’ll need to login or something and see it and be like, “wtf is this? Did I go to the wrong website?”
The top repositories part is also useless. It never shows me the one I want!
Does anyone actually use the honepage? I just go straight to the repo I want and navigate from there, or type a conpare or commit url directly. I've never checked my notifications, not really sure what they're for tbh
They have delightful new high-contrast border theme that makes me weep with joy at how beautiful it is.
Site is trash though yes
Imagine if they had a usable notification system. It would be glorious.
This is Microsoft we’re talking about.
True, but the damage to community features was done long before the buyout.
what would fit better though?
My active PRs, my active repositories, latest activity on issues I'm subscribed to, browsing repositories by interest/tags/topic. Maybe some of these things are already on the front page but, off the top of my head.
"Hey I just wanted to add an update to my issue I've raised 5 mins ago"
Github: good luck!
is enshittification an american desease?
It comes from the capitalist disease which has been made by the USA, so I guess yes.
