There’s something heartwarming about a massive company completely ballsing something up like this, and losing money in the process.
They really are just like me
They literally could have just not done anything to it the past two years and it’d be better than it is today
I fucking hope microshaft goes bankrupt. I really do. I know it’s unlikely, but I’m trying to remember that no company is too big to fail
Microslop ruins everything it touches.
Glad to see that Microsoft is still the best. The best at shooting themselves in the foot chasing the AI bullshit.
Any info on scaling forgejo to large size (>1000 users)? My organization has a heavy presence on GitHub.com AND a large GitHub enterprise server as well. Anyone tried at scale?
Until someone can answer your question directly, Codeberg would be the best common example with 50,000 users in 2023.
Woah!
More than a decade ago I joined github among other systems, in order to report bugs to FOSS projects. Now I quit GitHub as it’s too risky being on there. So if a project wants bug reports, go somewhere users data is not put at risk. Or go without bug reports.
Recently deleted all my GitHub repos. Going to put some up on codeberg.org !
I have a $5/mo VPS that use as my main remote these days. No complaints
AND THERE ARE ENTIRE PROGRAMMING-LANGUAGES WHICH HAVE HARDCODED GITHUB AS THEIR ROOT SOURCE!!
rotflmao…
Exactly the same as Canada presuming that the US was somehow “inherently” on our side, forever …
Non-autonomy bites one in the ass!
It isn’t IF, it’s WHEN.
Nobody’ll learn in-time, then, it looks like…
( both Haskell & Julia seem to have hardcoded it into many packages, or into the language+libraries themselves, to great extent…
Try setting-up a project in either language, with no github-username…
they deemed that to be universally a problem…
codependency isn’t synergy: it is suckerpunching-in-the-making. )

I don’t see Gitlab mentioned anywhere, is something wrong with it? Or am I wrong and it’s not a GitHub alternative?
Ew!
Depends on context really. If you’re looking for a hosted solution similar to Github, Gitlab is much more expensive. Our team was on a self-hosted version of Gitlab but needed more change control around PR reviews and merging. We moved to Github and got that for $4 per user per month where that same functionality would’ve cost ~$30 per user per month on Gitlab. That’s a crazy price difference and was easily worth the migration to Github for our use case.
Yeah if you need enterprise features, it gets expensive quickly, but the free tier for small projects is all right.
One thing that’s slowly becoming annoying is the change in mentality when deciding what feature is available in the free tier: in the beginning, I think the idea was that a feature started in the paid tier, and then, if it could be useful to everyone, it was available in the free tier after a short period. I think it’s slowly shifting, some features like scoped labels, a feature existing for years, is still a premium feature. I’m not entirely trusting the business behind GitLab for stuff like that.
I’m still not sure what to do with my own code.
I placed my public projects on GitHub to have a visible online front and invite people to submit patches. I haven’t had any issues with GitHub so far. I considered Microsoft to be a good steward… until recently, since articles like this keep popping up.
I also already have a self-hosted repository for my private projects. It would be simple enough for me to move everything there, but then I basically lose any chance of other people contributing and that online resume I built up over time.
Codeberg seems to be the best alternative to Github right now. It’s fully FOSS and supported by a nonprofit and it’s getting more and more popular.
So if you want a good alternative to GitHub but still people to be able to see and contribute to your code, I would suggest Codeberg.
I also use CodeFloe. While smaller, they have fewer guidelines around what is allowed to be there. While Codeberg is generally okay with people putting small private repos there, I don’t feel comfortable using what I view as a public resource for my private stuff.
One possibility is to leave the Github available but just have it as a project page that points them to where the development is really happening and then host it where ever you want. In the near term this seems like a solution that at the very least makes the project visible and findable for those that go looking just on github.
I hope everyone moves off of their shit and wherever they end up blocks all of the ai bot copilot slop ass.
Unwalled link?
