> *Microsoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal apartheid regime and ongoing #genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.* — BDS Movement

bdsmovement.net/microsoft

So, what is your strategy to leave #Microsoft's platforms? Do you have one?

Some of my actions (so far):
- Deleted #Windows11 permanently and switched to #Bazzite Linux. It's been more than a year now.
- Began migrating off #GitHub to a mix of #SelfHosted #Gitea instance and a cloud #CodeBerg (90% complete)
- Steering others within my circles of control to do the same as best I can, and cancel Games pass, etc.

It's tough at first but it gets easier. Divestment is an important tool. Check the BDS list today.

And yes, whoever uses #discord for #documentation and #versioning instead of a goddam #git [doesn't have to be @github / #GitHub or @gitlab / #GitLab or @Codeberg / #Codeberg or even @gitea / #Gitea - just use any git and write down your documentation in a useable format like #Markdown or goddamn ASCII plain text FFS] should be banned for life from #coding, working in #IT or contribute to #FLOSS.

  • Because it's literally worse than people shitting "#Ai" #Slop all over the place cuz that can be fixed faster and easier by backrolling said commits and banning the offender!

Wenn ich gerne meinen #forgejo / #gitea server als primäre #git senke nutzen mag, aber dennoch nach #github mirrore, damit andere menschen sich erfreuen und mitmachen können.

wie sorge ich dafür, dass deren pull requests bei github ebenso zu mir nach forgejo / gitea fliessen wie meine änderungen es heute schon von forgejo nach github tun?

Google stops using Pixel phones as reference devices for testing, device trees are missing from Android 16 source code release, making it harder for custom rom devs to port their roms to Pixel devices:

(Google doing their regular "boil the frog" thing... They started with giving Android app devs the option to block sideloading, then they announce to make the development process fully private, only push final releases to AOSP code base, and now this... We desperately need mobile Linux to become an Android replacement! (Although I don't really see that happening any time soon unfortunately.))

@timbray

So they use #Gitea under the hood and don't reference it once?

That's a very questionable business model, especially if the underlying tool is #FOSS.

Btw, there are more open/transparent other Forgejo/Gitea-based instances like #codeberg (codeberg.org) or #codefloe (coefloe.com)

Die können Spenden gebrauchen für einen neuen und etwas dickeren Server.
Wer 'n Zettelchen über hat und ein wirklich cooles Projekt supporten möchte, möge das bitte grad _jetzt_ tun.
