In a move that surprises absolutely noone, GitHub now requires users to login in order to browse public repositories (including open source projects). After a few (~10) requests, you get blocked (I can confirm). In order to fight AI scrapers, I guess.

So, GitHub decided to blanket-limit access to open source projects as a defense against the very scourge that they(r parent company) unleashed on the world.

I won't be hypocrite: it's a bit embarrassing, but undeniably satisfying to say "told you so". I moved away from GitHub long ago and I moved all my stuff to Codeberg instead. And so happy I did!

Next step: radicle.xyz maybe?

@aj They're just ideologies. Ideologies are just practices followed by a group. Thats it. Just like communism, captialism, socialism, conservatism, liberalism & every other ideologies that exists. Removing religions won't fix issues. Just one thing with another which replaces it. We are in a hunt for "perfect" ideology. There is none.

We need people to have common sense & wisdom which doesn't always come from education. People who thinks on their own. Thats the fix for blind tribalism.

I have been thinking about better consumption for a while now. Finally wrote somehing about it.

@zackwhittaker Hey!!! Reacher S03E4 is not out yet! No spoilers please. :)

@Codeberg I got this email. Is the links in it used for phishing?

My email provider categorises it as such and I didnt see anything about it in the blog post. If yes, please inform the users the same. People will click on it since it is coming from a legit email address.

PS: I got another email on 13th morning which excludes the offensive language making it more probable that this is a phishing attempt.
