JURASSIC PARK SEQUEL IDEA:
3 Million AD.
The humans are extinct.
The dino-scientists find mosquitoes with human blood.
Guess who they clone...
Jeff. Fucking. Goldblum.
They mix up the mosquito DNA with Goldblum's.
Surprise assholes.
This is now a sequel to The Fly.
I wonder what people of the fediverse think of SSB, Scuttlebot and Patchwork.

By all means, #movingtogitlab-dot-com does not solve the problem GitHub has (centralization), and moving to a privately hosted GitLab re-introduces the problem GitHub mostly solved (separation).
#GitPub is trying to solve this problem by defining a federation protocol for git services: https://github.com/git-federation/gitpub
Hey Fediverse 👋
If you want a federation as a replacement for GitHub, you can star/comment issues:
- 
🔎 cross-server search: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/36025;
- 🍴 cross-server merge requests: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/4013;
- 💬 share events (comments, likes, ...) via activityPub: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/44486;
- 
🍴 gogs feration via ActivityPub: https://github.com/gogs/gogs/issues/4437
- 🍴 gitea federated merge-requests: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/184
- federate users and repos: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/1612
This is a note to people moving their repositories blindly to Gitlab.org: do you know Google is actually a huge investor in Gitlab?
The issue is not about Microsoft buying Github. The issue is about centralization and silos.
You do not solve that by moving your data from one silo to another.
You solve that by relying on small providers you can trust, or by becoming a provider yourself.
Je suis un vieux con fermé au changement ou l'utilisation de "codage" pour dire "développement logiciel" ou "programmation" c'est vraiment pourri?
If you are looking for an alternative to GitHub and want more options than Gitlab there is also Gogs. If you just need Git hosting without a web UI, pull request, etc. but not self hosted, check Keybase.io.

The existential paranoia fueling Elon Musk's fear of AI
The scaremongering by Musk and other 'tech-bros' says more about the exploitative business model of Silicon Valley than Artificial Intelligence's capacity to do actual harm.

“When a famous billionaire responds to journalists reporting on real-world harms caused by their companies by saying the media isn’t trustworthy, that’s gaslighting too.”
