It is finally happening! We are migrating our code from #GitHub to @forgejo hosted on #OVH servers.

We will continue to mirror our public repositories on GitHub for convenience. That said, all our critical and private code will be hosted on sovereign infrastructure.

In return, we are pledging financial support to @Codeberg Codeberg e.V., the organization behind #Forgejo.

Our very own CMO (that's Chief Mischief Officer) - @jarek, just dropped a new article about the growing impact of #AI on the modern Internet.

Dig in!

There is nothing magic in Magic Links... well maybe except the impressive amount of controversy they create.

In response to @404mediaco article, we wrote our own post on this subject.

Our conclusion?

Magic Links are
- safer
- compliant
- and actually UX friendly

But we recognise that humans have preferences. We don't pretend to always know better.

Even more control for your cookieless web analytics.

Use explicit opt-out when user revokes consent.

Our analytics does not require explicit consent. It is because it is cookieless, does not store Personal Data and does not transfer data outside the EU/EEA.

But in certain countries, you still need to allow users to opt-out.

It is as easy as setting a cookie 🍪 which when present, will disable tracking events.
