    I am a wanna-be coding data analyst who has decided to start directly in Codeberg, more because of anti-US than anti-AI sentiment.

    I have 2 questions for everyone more experienced than me and in general more knowledgeable of the market dynamics:

    1. How far is Forgejo/Codeberg from feature parity with Github?
    2. I don’t see any public SaaS/tools connecting to Codeberg as they are with Github. Is this by design or is it due to lack of reception? And, in your opinion, what would be a kind of service/connector that would really change things if made available for Codeberg?

    Love Codeberg. Just wish there would also be HackerHill, BytePeak and SoftwareSummit with federation!

    Im eyeing Zig for a long time also as the core developers behind it seem to be really cool and drama free. Which, i know, is no argument for an programming language but cool non the less. Just hope the language itself is also cool to work with.

    Microsoft has gone all-in on AI to the detriment of basically every other aspect of their business. They are in deep deep shit when the bubble finally pops.

      Azure might keep them afloat but everything else will likely crumble and they’ll have to downsize to mostly just being a cloud provider.

      And I am so ready for the bubble to burst.

      15% of the total United States GDP is a single company. I struggle to comprehend the scale of that, but one thing is for certain; it’s going to bite us in the ass eventually.

        Stock valuation of a company is not calculated int the GDP. Only domestic revenue is. There is no company that makes trillions in revenue.

          True, but Nvidia’s market cap is still equal to 15 percent of 30.486 trillion. What’s worse is that it’s ALL built on speculation.

          This house of cards WILL fall.

            Nvidia is less speculation that the other companies mixed up in this. They at least sell physical goods which they’ve been shipping.

            Microsoft, Google, X, Meta - Oh boy!

        no, it is not. you struggle to comprehend it because it is not true.

        it is comparing different things. one is a valuation, the other is the value of goods and services over a year. the comparision would be with yearly revenue of a company

          The stat that’s going around at the moment is that 30% if the GDP is transactions between the “Magnificent 7”. That one is fair because it’s economic activity.

          The underlying economy is in recession with the AI frosting on top pushing it to break even levels.

        It’s not one company, but the top 5 companies make up 40% of South Korea’s economy, with the top 30 76.9% of their GDP. It’s scary to imagine the power they wield over the peoples lives.

      In the end, we opted for a simple strategy, sidestepping GitHub’s aggressive vendor lock-in: leave the existing issues open and unmigrated, but start counting issues at 30000 on Codeberg so that all issue numbers remain unambiguous. Let us please consider the GitHub issues that remain open as metaphorically “copy-on-write”.

      Do you know anything about the referenced vendor lock-in?

        Basically all the stuff that is build by GitHub and not part of git. Like the pull request discussion boards that is not stored in the git repository. They can’t transfer that out of GitHub to another git host.

        It’s just that all your shit and users are there, like issue tracking in this case.

    I’ve been enjoying zig.

    It feels like when I go to write C, but without a bunch of code churn/copy paste on getting just the right memory management interface.

    It’s not perfect, and the API churn makes it really annoying to find decent documentation. But it’s fun.

    Don’t see why this even needs to be news.

    Zig is just mid anyway as a programming language, partly because its just a new masturbatory Lang for C people and partly because of Andrew’s poor, shepherding of the project.

    I don’t think Andrew is notable enough to bother having a full article about the things he does.
