Moved all my public GitHub repositories to @Codeberg ✅
See: https://codeberg.org/thomas.leister/
... and the private ones to @codefloe , because Codeberg is for open source licensed repos, only.
Feelin' good! 💪

By the way: You might think "why do you care? Open Source Software is Open Source Software - it does not matter it it's publicly available via GitHub or Codeberg."
Yes, it does.
1) it creates visibility for platforms other than GH
2) it makes users go to Codeberg.org instead of GitHub. This saves them from needing to go to Github, with all the tracking / bullshit involved.
3) it draws users away from GH. If enough people do it, they will maybe focus on the basics again and won't annoy us with AI crap.
4) we need to decentralize. Not hosting all our software on the same M$-powered platform is a necessary part of that.
emilianosandri@thomas When open source activists protested GitHub buyout I believed they were making up an issue out of nowhere.
Copilot showed to me that they were right after all.

d@nny disc@ mc²@thomas github very directly arguing in court that when its users trusted them enough to host their code, that was tantamount to a declaration of transformative fair use (does their downtime transform it?), which furthermore openly contradicts their own terms of use......that's enough for me to identify a selfish personal motive to retract and retreat from the one company that has never stopped openly discriminating against employees
@thomas also, github literally actually just modifies your published release tarballs
Canuckistanian@thomas I've just started coding in Python and Git was part of the recommended install process, but not sure why or what it does
@Canuckistanian Git is a version control system. It allows collaboration of multiple developers in the same thing. And if you're working alone, it enables you to create snapshots or earlier software versions and much more :)
It's really worth checking out!
