I get that it's open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

How is it a pain? You just change the origin on your existing project, and new projects you just use the new one to start with.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

You gotta change the origin on every deployment you have. Update environment vars, reconfigure tools. You have to port all your PRs over somehow. Your issues. Your documentation. All the access keys. Etc.

With Gitlab embracing activitypub, at least the issues can bei easily migrated now/soon.

[-] hunger@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Are they embracing activity pub? I read it is just one guy in the community working in it.

And the vast majority of users are on GitHub, looking for code on there. Having activity pub on other forges will not change that big time:-(

Ony saw this vid about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v68NFdZIMKI

Yeah, github is currently the big cheese. But other forges are still out there and are being used. And since git is an open format, the infrastructure is (a bit) more resilient towards enshittyfication.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Oh, the repository are easy to move.

The bug reports, PRs, wikis, CI/CD are stuck in github though. There is a huge lock in.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
