@arstechnica what did you expect from a billionaire? Support interests of cerfs ?

Codeberg will briefly go down for a moment, but will return momentarily from another server.

Due to technical complications, we noticed that a zero-downtime failover is unfortunately not possible.

Issue search results will be inaccurate.

CEOs seem to have settled on calling for “de-escalation” as their euphemistic non-response to the horrors we’re experiencing in Minneapolis, and this quisling shit pisses me off so much I can’t even https://mastodon.social/@MikeElgan/115970651228010281

I SAID WE ARE NOW BEST FRIENDS GET IN

@TheBreadmonkey

Close. You guys present an initial token.

DO YOU LIKE CHEESE? THIS IS CHEESE. I WILL SHARE SOME OF THIS CHEESE WITH YOU. DO YOU WANT SOME CHEESE?

Even people with the most to lose continue to support and rely heavily on:

-- Google
-- Slack
-- Meta
-- Microsoft
-- Apple
-- Too many others to list

These orgs cozy up to authoritarianism. They terminate your account for any reason or no reaso at all. They shove AI down your throat.

And yet, my workplace, union, and so many of the orgs I value and need keep using them and have no plans to ween themselves off. Yes, I realize current dynamics make all of this inevitable.

So I'm left feeling hopeless and helpless, which is a terrible place to be.

@taylorlorenz

You are not alone in having difficulty convincing people to switch. This thread contains alternatives to several Big Tech offerings.

I guess the smaller servers are not cool enough for some, and others don't want to have to learn a new system. And there is the constant campaign against small servers, asking if they are safe and generally throwing doubt.

Also smaller servers are more vulnerable to attacks like DDOS and stuff.

So it amounts to a lot of resistance.

@arstechnica auto browse? wtf?

Bruce Springsteen has just released a song paying tribute to Minneapolis and the courage of its people:

"Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis."

I wish to file a complaint.

This is priceless! Republican Denver Riggleman deliberately takes a selfie in front of the now famous poster in Nuuk, Greenland, that says yes to NATO, no to the pedo, with a picture of Epstein and Trump.

I love it!

@randahl Pedi is to phart in some Spanish dialects . So he does not like old pharts but prefer younger ?
