    Oh shit, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD MY DAILY UPDATE OF VERY IMPORTANT PACKAGES FROM GNOME to compile myself just for the sake of having THE VERY CUTTING EDGE OF THINGS.

    How is gitlab doing these days? I created a gitlab account back when they started, but I’ve gone back to github, and not used gitlab much.

      forgejo and gitea are implementing activitypub rn. Soon you will be able to create issues and participate in discussions from the comfort of the fediverse.

      They started out doing well but they’re getting worse IMO. They nerfed the CI availability into the ground for open source project use to the point it’s basically unusable. You eat up your pathetic 400 minutes a month in no time. Basically, if you want CI you have to provide your own runners now. They have definitely been following the enshittification trends of late. They grew to prominence as an open source GitHub alternative and now they barely support open source on the platform. Definitely hoping a third alternative becomes viable with CI that is actually usable for open source projects.

        It’s really hard to beat the reliability, security, UX, and speed of GitHub. GitLab in my experience has always felt clunky and performed various operations very slowly in comparison to GitHub (whenever I use it, I feel like I’m just waiting on GitLab to do things).

        I’d love a good more open source ethos GitHub alternative, but I don’t think that’s GitLab… Maybe GitTea in a few more years(?)
