You say fragmented I say decentralized.
I say "I'm not making yet another account to report this bug". Tangled is trying to solve that problem but we'll see.

#12More and more projects are moving to Codeberg, and I'm wondering; at what point will a critical mass be reached? Or will we end up with a fragmented ecosystem?
The D in DVCS working as expected.

Oh no, our decentralized VCS will be… decentralized!
Seriously though the big problem to solve will be squatters, when there are three logical places for a module to be hosted. That could create issues if you want to migrate.
I would rather have this happening after a contender to git has surfaced. Something for instance with more project tracking built in so migration were simpler.

#14In other news today, Bun, which is one of the biggest projects written in Zig, joined Anthropic, the company behind Claude Code, and has nothing but kind words to say about AI. If Zig becomes ever more hostile to AI, I wonder if there may be some "friction" there.
Why would zig care that a project written in zig is used for AI?

#16Lack of investment more like. There are a ton of simple and obvious bugs that have persisted well before the AI crazy, e.g. this annoying bug from 2021: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/6874 This one is almost a one-line change (technically they need an extra flag in the YAML but that's hardly difficult): https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/12882#discussi... That said, I still think Github is f…
Not spending on maintenance is bad.
Not spending on maintenance and spending gobs on something many people don’t want is far worse. It says we have the money, we just don’t give a fuck.

I suspect Codeberg, which is focused on free software, will frown on them. They already disallow mirroring.

#19I have sympathy for some of the GitHub complaints. otoh just went to try to signup for Codeberg and it's down ... 95% uptime over the last 2 weeks?

I mean, they're battling with DDoS all the time. I follow their account on Mastodon, and they're pretty open about it.
I believe the correct question is "Why they are getting DDoSed this much if they are not something important?"

Even their status page is under attack. Sorry for my French, but WTF?
