Linux adoption in Europe has skyrocketed this month! For the first time ever, it went from ~4.50% to 6.15%, even higher than in the US' 5.25% (according to StatCounter). I think more and more people want to move to a less "controlled" OS.

Will the continued scraping of #AI materials cause a substantial disruption to open source publishing of software? I guess not.

Starting a new website called Mad Muon at https://madmuon.com dedicated to exploring the virtues and possibilities offered by small, comprehensible, #opensource solutions.
Not much is up yet, except a Vim page, an RSS feed and the code itself. But it's a start đ

And: as I discussed in https://www.harihareswara.net/posts/2021/what-would-open-source-look-like-if-it-were-healthy-video-transcript/ , different project types likely need forges with different structures and features. True in #opensource and elsewhere.

To all those folk who want to move from #github given the re-org; I can recommend @forgejo , or @Codeberg if youâd prefer not to self host your #opensource projects.
I migrated a bunch of stuff from GH to a self-hosted #Forgejo instance running in one of @hetznerâs datacenters, and it showed itself to be production ready. It handled our actions and multi-gb #monorepo, amongst other things, with ease on a ~17EUR/month central VPS, and a few CI servers, which was less than our GitHub spend.
The programmers from VLC have also created an interface which has consistent looks on vertical and horizontal browsers. Here I'm on my main X86 system
