Not just community managed but operated as a non-profit. Codeberg won’t be scraping your deleted history to train their LLMs that they will sell back to you unlike Microsoft.
I am still convinced Git is overrated & overly complicated—and it is a shame all of the decent forges (even basic ones) are all built around Git.
Gemini has accessibility & bandwidth problem. HTML is a more accessible format & HTTP offers compression. Add that Gemtext has too few ‘elements’ for technical writing or even basic blogging & I don’t think it should be seriously considered for anything than a novel toy.
GitHub isn’t open source
This needs to be repeated for those in the back that still didn’t get the memo. You do not need to use Microsoft products, especially if your goal is free, open, and/or ethical software.
Snap! I forgot about the rename news already… forgettable new name :)
2.0 was released 20 years ago in 2004… a lot of things, including software, can change in 20 years. 3.0 finally has adjustment layers, et al. that they have been working on since I first started following in 2008 but had blockers on GEGL & all sorts of massive refactors… which are now finally coming. If there was a time to try to get a new opinion on GIMP, it will be now (or very soon when 3.0 is finally officially released).
I hope all of these anti-GIMP folks have looked into the 3.0-RC* releases…
Depends how you view it & how green the grass is on the other side. Personally the Forgejo approach of copying MS GitHub to ease onboarding doesn’t resonate with me as a user over, say, making a better product by fixing some of the major flaws like the pull request model being a major slowdown, CI in YAML soup, needless social features… but others prefer this approach & a rocked boat is scary.
