Alright fine, I can tolerate the little ✨AI ✨ sparkles in my M365 webpages a while longer if it means more kaboom at the end.

The publicity will have little impact; only the AI bubble popping will make them change course. But the damage is already done - they've pivoted their company to AI, forced it into all there products and force their employees to use it. Once the bubble pops that's going to take time to undo and fix.

AI of course will still be a thing, but at the moment they're wasting billions on it as everyone wants to be to AI as Google is to search.

Somebody set us up the bomb!

We know what you doing

Make your time

Greetings, fellow internet pioneer! Don’t forget to take us up the bomb!

If you're into emulation, it's a legitimately good sidescrolling shmup, and if I remember right, the music was great as well.

It's just that absymal translation that launched it into meme status.

For great justice

I can hear the song so clearly by just watching this picture.

And I am so ready for the bubble to burst.

15% of the total United States GDP is a single company. I struggle to comprehend the scale of that, but one thing is for certain; it's going to bite us in the ass eventually.

Completely gave up on the console wars thing too for AI. Such ridiculous leadership by Sadya

dont worry govt bailouts with public money will come in. Socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor.

Microsoft's business model has always been getting businesses who are even stupider than them to give them tons of money. Nothing is ever going to change that calculus.

I love that Codeberg exists, but there's one thing I kinda dislike.

I'd like to use the same forge for my private projects (hey, a couple of them may make money one day! I gotta eat too) as I do for open source stuff, but Codeberg is explicitly open source only.

It's a minor thing, really. Which I could get past by using another Forgejo instance, like Codefloe. But these smaller instances, how long will they be around?

I suppose just running my own git server, with or without a forge attached to it, for private projects, is the only real solution. But then I have even more things to self-host lol

I highly doubt there will ever be parity. There will also be some differences where there can be improvements made over GitHub. Right now you only hear about individuals moving over or open source software. This is mainly because they don't need the enterprise features that GitHub has. I am not sure if you self hosted forgejo if you would get those as well. It's meant to be free. This is the biggest thing that would be missing. For individuals, I don't think you'll notice many differences.

For your second question. It doesn't matter. What matters is git. There are 2 main ways to access this. SSH and http. All you really need is git. There are other tools out there like gitlab. Gitlab is pretty decent too, but the workflow is a bit different. You can even self host with gitlab too. You may not see many direct integrations to gitlab either, but people have been working with it for years now. There is also bitbucket. I think forgejo has a better chance at succeeding though if it continues to do what it's doing. Just tailor to the free and open source community. Really the only thing people need to do is create an account and set up some ssh keys. Beyond creating an account, there is no difference in how you clone a repo from GitHub and codeberg. Just copy the URL and do git clone.

TL;DR GitHub and codeberg have different missions. It will be a similar experience and features for individuals or open source projects are close to the same on both platforms. You probably won't notice much of a difference.
