While I think it's good that more mainstream publications do more on the #fediverse the Search Engine/Hard Fork episode on the #forkiverse is a bit ... well it could have done with a bit more research. And "oh look how yanky it all is but we didn't read the manual to run this service but has an LLM Agent just do something" is cringe at best: You're not reading the manual but you want to run a platform for a few thousand people? That's not cute but shows a lack of care and willingness to take responsibility.

If companies insist on bricking gadgets, this is a better way to do it.
Wow, #Gentoo moving from GitHub to Codeberg is cool. Haven't run Gentoo for years now but still have a soft spot for it (I learned so much running it as main driver).
I also use Codeberg fΓΌr my code (and joined the association) but we can't just "move everything to Codeberg". That's neither sustainable nor a good model. We should have more associations like Codeberg to offer those kinds of services. Create a whole web of forges for collaboration while we can watch GitHub go to hell.
