Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft.

Yep I got one too. Works great and self hosted. I swear its actually faster than GH is nowadays.
And I like that it doesn't try to advertise and recommend a ton of repos to do you like GH does now.
The releases page is just as easy to find!

GitHub has slowly become an advertising platform for repos more than anything. I miss what it was just a couple of years ago. It did exactly what you needed when you needed it. Now it's just so bloated

Ah, the threatened oligarchy is at it again. I'm sure its purely a coincidence and not at all a retaliation for people abandoning big tech en masse.

So wait.
GitHub is Microsoft?

Nice!
I actually recently set up my own Forgejo instance, and it's remarkably similar to GitHub, to the point where they share Github's "actions" code.
Congrats! More hosting diversity is a good thing.
I love that they have scoped labels while GitHub still doesn't

Yeah they bought them almost 10 years now?

Has been since 2018, and acquisition news caused quite an upset at the time.

Sounds like an easy way to do unproportional damage to projects with a bit of location spoofing.
I was very surprised to learn that .NET has an entire team in North Korea

And all of them sharing a single 26k connection, too

Oh...I was interested until you said actions. What a terrible system for ci.

VS Code has a fully open source base which excludes proprietary extensions and default telemetry ( kind of his AOSP is for Android)

Looks like a contributor was in a sanctioned region?

Not according to that thread - it looks like they don't yet know what caused it:

No any details from GitHub yet. One contributor mentioned a temporary visit to disputed areas a long time ago — GitHub probably just flagged the account, and their bots messed up after that.

And VSCodium is the project that releases builds from the VS Code source code. Privacy-conscious developers should use VSCodium (which is fully FOSS) instead of Visual Studio Code (which is partially proprietary and includes tracking).

Who could have ever anticipated Git hub going to shoot after Microsoft bought it

I wish, but when I am looking gor a job the employer will look at the green squares and leetcode score or something stupid like that instead of my projects or having a discussion in general.

PyCharm is a solid choice. It just works. But if you’re open to another editor, take a look at Zed. It has python support too. It’s super snappy and way less bloated than the others.

There is some serious crapitalist hate for organic maps. I never heard of it util is was taken off the play store for a bit. I side loaded it that day.

As long as they are still publishing the apk to f-droid, as a user I hardly care where it's hosted.
