Is the thought of switching clubs perhaps too overwhelming?

Don't fret! Our docs have a guide on migrating repositories from other Git hosting platforms: docs.codeberg.org/advanced/mig…

Sadly not much will change I’m afraid. Just like when M$ bought github.

However, now at least there is a large dedicated, community driven, user first, instance so unlike the time when people could choose between gitlab (not that much better) or obscure instances scattered around the net, there is a chance more people will just move. Specially that forgejo and folks at codeberg are rather competent bunch.

BTW what’s the state of forgejo fediverse features?

ppl still struggle to make GitHub “livable” by raising concerns there; I’d rather refrain myself from doing so, because I don’t want to help them make their product “better”

Just switch the platform 💫

"I refuse using AI in the same way I don't take drugs or steal things"

Beautifully said.

Same here. #aivegan

"If not now, when?"

Evidence shows it could be a while...

from the article:

"They want to pump up those 'AI' numbers, for whatever reason, and they view their customer base as just a resource to burn to get those metrics up."

I migrated 3 repositories today. They are small research projects, but they would certainly benefit from a No AI switch button, and a publicly visible badge certifying that no AI was used at any stage. For me developing software is similar to writing a scientific paper.

It seems unlikely to get this button any time soon on GitHub.

Thank you for this service!

The same the Telegraph ran their first piece about Rayner avoiding stamp duty, they also ran a guide on how to avoid paying tax written by their 'Senior Money Writer' Fran Ivens.

It was titled 'How to avoid tax on your second home', with the sub-headline reading 'From stamp duty to council tax, shield your wealth from Labour's tightening net'.

Again, Rayner has just resigned over an error in her declarations to HMRC over stamp duty.

The Tories seem to be trying to make some political capital out of it. Although they really shouldn't.

We all pretty much know that Kemi Badenoch is running down the clock on her leadership. As soon as MPs are able to submit letters to the 1922 Committee, she's gone.

The frontrunner to replace her is Robert 'Honest Bob' Jenrick.
The same 'Honest Bob' who when housing minister, unlawfully signed off on a development and helped Tory donor Richard Desmond avoid £45 million in tax.

This wasn't the only benefit of Desmond's dealings at a dinner party with 'Honest Bob'.

That same housing development saw Desmond having his obligation to build at least 35% of the property as affordable housing, reduced to 21%.
According to the London School of Economics, Desmond pocketed an extra £106 million as a result.

Desmond sent his gratitiude to the Tories in the form of a £12,000 donation, just weeks after 'Honest Bob' unlawfully signed off on his East London development.

I suppose that would be an incredible advert for the Tories, if they could get Richard Desmond to appear.

"Bribes for the cooperation of cabinet officials were far cheaper and easier under the previous government.
That's why I'm voting Conservative."

Of course, the media only wants to talk about 'Honest Bob' about his latest attempt to paint himself as a hardcore flag shagger, where he looks like a Poundland version of Farage.
Although I'm probably being extremely unkind to Poundland.

Speaking of Farage, he's probably the most hypocritical when it comes to tax avoidance.

Farage has previously described tax avoiders as the "common enemy".

This would be the same Farage who on top of his £94,000 salary and expenses for the job of an MP (which he rarely does), also uses shell companies to receive his salary and dividends from GBeebies.

Meaning he avoids about £60,000 annually through paying corporation tax at 25%, rather than income tax at 40%.

This is just his income from GammonBox News. Which he is a minor stakeholder in, as well as a presenter.

It doesn't include his £189,000 from being a brand ambassador for gold bullion firm Bullion Direct.
Or his £4,000 per month for a Daily Telegraph column.
Or his income from the international speaking circuit.

It also doesn't take into consideration that by having his company paid instead of receiving money directly, he can have certain personal purchases offset as business expenses.

Speaking of offsetting, and having income not declared, we can look at the fact that Arron Banks was entirely funding him for several years after Brexit was won.

Paying rent and utility bills on a property Farage was living in to the tune of £13,000 per month. As well as providing Farage access to a brand new Land Rover Discovery, and a personal driver.

This was around the same time that Farage complained that he was "53, separated and skint” and said that “there’s no money in politics”.

Before he was using shell companies, Farage benefited from setting up a trust in an offshore tax haven.

The Dear Farage had placed his entire 33% stake in his company Farage Limited into a tax haven based on the Isle of Man.
Although he claims to have received no money, almost £1 million in dividends had been paid out to his brother Andrew. At a reduced tax rate of course.

Farage only held his hands up and called it 'a mistake' after his dealings had been exposed.
