 Nonprofit work is hard. It takes a lot of time, dedication and, more often than not, you see volunteers taking in multiple different tasks and responsibilities to keep everything running. Thankfully, we occasionally get external contributors that help us out! For instance, I would post something serious so as to promote our nonprofit, but it seems like #GitHub decided to help us with the marketing for the day by sending a bunch of its users (multiple) emails about GitHub Copilot. π 8 comments
This is intended to be a lighthearted post, but if you're interested in helping us, as well as other self-hosters and public instances, you may be interested in Forgejo's issue tracker. (We are also happy to help you find something else. :D)  @Codeberg All I ever wanted in life was to be able to choose between free access to AI models from OpenAI or Anthropic.  MicroShit finger prints just like I've been saying since they bought it. I've been screaming "self hosting" for months ππ€¬  @Codeberg Yeah. Got that mail and was like "I sure hope it's opt-in." as I have no interest in AI solutions and even think they start to become overused and dumb down various sections in our world... Why try to learn from mistakes and trial and error, if copilot can just spit out the solution? @Codeberg as a volunteer for a FOSS community run project where Iβve seen someone hold a seat on the BoD, Deputy Director of Tech, T&S responder and highest community role at once(poor bastard) and as someone who personally holds a community roles while being basically an unofficial technical team member, o7 to all of yβall. Definitely making me strongly reconsider a move(even if no forge will ever have as good an issue tracker as https://Phorge.it, fight meπ) |

@Codeberg And adding a chat prompt to the home screen that's impossible to get rid of without either paying for Copilot or using an adblock extension to manually pick the element. It's a shitshow.
