Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out.

I use self-hosted Forgejo because it’s convenient, that’s it

It does technically have a central repo, but not the “forge” tooling around it.
I do think I’m going to move my personal shit to self-hosted Forgejo too though. One project of mine is going to be closed source (don’t boo me, there’s literally no demand for “free” in that market, the target market generally isn’t interested in programming or hosting) and I don’t want the business logic side of it to magically end up in their AI models despite me refusing to allow them. Couldn’t care less about any of the other stuff, I’m not doing anything super high tech or special.

Yeah, there’s git.kernel.org, but work happens on the mailing list, not there. If you just want a copy, you can get it there, but that’d about all there is too it.
