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

Russian bots down voting you.
This is how sanctions work. Don't like it? Get your government to stop invading Ukraine.
Not a Russian bot. Diem voted it because GitHub is still a poor choice to host open source on nowadays. It's like someone saying "It's stupid that such and such switched to renewable energy instead of fossil fuels because they believe the world is flat. The world is not flat!" It's really missing the forest for the trees.

I have nothing against Russian developers. But I do think they should be completely isolated and blocked from the outside world. That's the whole point of sanctions.
That makes sense when it harms business being done in that country, people’s opportunity to find jobs and stuff like that.
But blocking people from working for free on open source projects where there’s nothing to be gained is harming progress, not individuals or countries. That’s not what sanctions were made for.

They don't - but at the same time it saves a ton of money on bandwidth
that is an extra plus feature i always wanted from a "smart" phone - offline maps. i spent money on some of those apps back when it was kicking off and a very few of them were actually helpful, like showing me actual USGS topo maps.
would not have helped me that much for survival on my Hawaiian big island fuckabout, because even the big island is not big enough to get truly lost. i tried!
eventually I went downhill on the volcano towards the ocean for a day or two until cell reception and called my girlfriend and told her I hit my head pretty hard and she should come get me.
still the maps would have been super interesting. also, Red River Gorge, and all the southwestern N. America desert.

I’m sure there is a lot that the random developer who happened to be born in Russia can do about that.

interviews of the locals have shown that the lowest rung of society in russia supports the war.
If they say against the war they will be imprisoned
-
Gitlab was created by a Ukrainian, and Microsoft is blocking Organic maps Russian developer due to sanctions due to war on ukraine, which is why what you're suggesting is pretty cursed
Ok then use CodeBerg or SourceHut.
Just anything that's not GitHub -
Boycott all US based services.
-
why is Organic Street Maps better than the other ones, that claim to be Open Street Maps derived?
bandwidth is not disposable ya'll.
-
Forgejo is in fact working on being decentralized, just like the underlying git structure is. There are some first federation things in there, but the full implementation is still pretty far out.
Git is decentralized itself... You don't even need forgejo to host your changes
-
Analogies are fallacies. Instead of discussing the topic at hand, we now have to discuss how accurate or inaccurate your analogy is. It's not a 1:1 representation of the subject.
If you're seriously trying to say men can be women because of immigration, that really just shows how far gone you are and why you shouldn't be taken seriously by rational people.
Oh goodie, more censorship.
Funny how this started by me pointing out mods abusing their power should not be taken seriously.
We really aren't allowed to say "men aren't women," lol. Anyone who tries to even suggest it gets censored.
It's clear who has an agenda and is abusing their power to control a narrative.
-
I guess not then lol. I’m sure you’ll get em next time.

What is really needed is a fediverse for git repos
-
People get banned for saying men aren't women. You don't have a point when mods abuse their power.
Censored for saying:
"People get banned for saying men aren't women. You don't have a point when mods abuse their power. Looks like my comment was censored for even pointing that out."
Literally just proving me right and the original commenter wrong every time mods abuse their power here.
-

First off, that's literally what Forgejo is trying to do
Secondly, git is technically already federated.
Things are a lot better than you might think. It's just that people naturally gravitate towards centralized services, because of the network effect.
-
This was always going to jappen datahoarders we have to mirror all of github!
You don't even have to be a datahoarder to help. Run ArchiveTeam warrior on a computer
Easiest way if you're already someone who needs to use Docker, is to throw this compose file somewhere and run it: Docker Compose file for Warrior

they were blocked for supporting russia invasion of Ukraine.
Source?
I mean the owners of this "Estonian" company are Russian and Belarussian (company ownership is public record here in Estonia and foreigners can easily start companies), so I wouldn't be surprised, but I also hate how easily unsubstantiated claims spread on the Internet.

Sounds cool, So, but I wouldn't be able to find Codeberg Repos.?
But is there also a standard for build pipelines?
-
Boycott all US based services.
This is the way.

Do you believe US civilians should be prohibited from interacting with the rest of the world?
Yes...? Why haven't other countries sanctioned the US for Gaza genocide? But that's also not the point at hand.

whataboutism isn't some magical phrase that you can utter every time someone brings up hypocrisy
if we're going to support sanctioning civilians based on their countries breaking international law, then we should not have double standards. otherwise it's very clearly a geopolitical issue and not a moral one.
and that's what this is actually about. the US sanctions on Russia are a geopolitical tool meant to make the Russian re-subjugation of Ukraine more expensive. that's it.
to me, that doesn't justify banning individuals from participating in OSS projects. anybody that wants to contribute should be able to.
