Brilliant move @tonroosendaal @BlenderDev hopefully, we can see more open source projects doing it.
With Blender moving to Gitea, we will keep our independent FLOSS infrastructure but with modern git project management, live code/docs editing, and essential CI/CD features. Looking forward to it!

@Foss_Hub Just discovered Fosshub and I’m impressed with everything about it. The thorough explanations of each app, and with truly honest to the point views. Can’t recommend this site enough now.

Social media giants lost nearly $10 billion in revenue since April because users chose not to be tracked across apps. Almost makes you think they mine personal data for profit or something.

If the Web had been invented today, Google and Apple policies would ban it from their ecosystems, because it’s not a walled garden under the control of a single proprietor as their policy demands.
Google have suspended Element in the Play Store without notifying us; we're reaching out to find out what's going on. Apologies for the inconvenience; in the interim there's f-droid.org/en/packages/im.v… but it's a few versions behind. We'll post updates here.

Yet another repacking of @ScreenToGif into a shareware/paid bs. Misleading users into paying for a free software is easy.
