@jacqueline Holy shit. The crash is gonna be sooooo brutal for these folks. Imagine an engineer interviewing at a new aircraft company because he invented an auto-pilot that flew the airplane into the ground which put the previous company out of business.
@jacqueline Anyone have any suggestions on where to move next?
I just want to host a few small open source things, but not be forced to give it to genociders, murderers, or pedos (so I guess it's not OSI-open-source-compatible), and also I want the host to be more reliable than how much I trust myself with self-hosting.

@jacqueline i wonder what it is that makes everyone step on this AI rake.
even companies that go “we’re not going to fuck up the same way our competitors are” are fucking up the same way their competitors were.
Codeberg seems to be the place to be these days.

@mcv @jacqueline Please remember to donate, @Codeberg got to finance the upcoming exodus of actual developers to their platform somehow. 
@jacqueline "Reduce the number of countries" sounds ominous

@lunarloony @jacqueline Reading between the lines: They're preparing to fire a lot of people and replace them with AI.
@jacqueline so lemme get this right: GitHub is currently collapsing under the weight of slop (both the slop they themselves are shipping + all the repo's created in the slop factories) and the correct move from GitLab, the obvious main competitor, is to shoot themselves in the leg by doing the same thing and getting rid of people!?
My stupid simple mind cannot comprehend these levels of capitalistic brilliance.

@Skye @jacqueline They're either oblivious or are trying to extract as much value before the masses notice that they're more and guillotines are easy to make. It's a general societal phenomenon right now.
