Forgejo forks its own path forward 🚀
Forgejo started as a soft fork of Gitea. Over time, it developed its own identity, adopted both development and governance practices - to ensure the stability, quality, and openness of the project - that made it more challenging to remain a soft fork. In early 2024, a decision was made to become a hard fork, and for Forgejo to forge its own path going forward. This post explains the consequences this decision will have.

also side note: A lot of UI-based desktop apps suffer from being made with Electron, which ships all of chromium into one app, meaning it's heavy and has to spin up an entire chromium.
But there are alternatives, if you look at tools like Tauri https://tauri.app which instead let you plug into the native webview of the OS your app runs on, and all the optimisations that come with it.
There's a reason Windows now uses HTML5 as the way to build desktop UI

For the Bluesky bridge, discoverable opt in instead of opt out is definitely something I could have (should have) figured out before the announcement. Sorry. Lesson learned.
Another thing I should have had ready beforehand was user-facing docs. The introduction post has some information, but not enough. People reasonably have lots of questions! I’ve tried to answer some, here and elsewhere, but that obviously doesn’t scale.
Docs would have avoided a lot of misapprehensions – for example, will it immediately bridge everyone and everything? (No, only when someone follows you, and only going forward.) What about blocks and reports? (They’ll work, and be bridged, as much as possible.) Etc.
The bridge is still a month or more away, so I haven’t written complete user docs yet, but they obviously would have helped. The current docs for bridging personal web sites and blogs are pretty substantial, but they don’t cover Bluesky. I’ll work on that.

My last employer UVM is hiring a FT lecturer in communication design! I absolutely loved working for this university, the employer benefits matching and healthcare are excellent, and you can take courses for free :) Plus, Burlington #VT is the perfect mix of lil city surrounded by heavenly nature.

"The former president, who faces 91 felony counts in four trials, is admitting, out loud, that he has one overriding goal: to slow the administration of justice until he can get back to the White House and shut down or evade all criminal charges against him.
No longer. The New York trial [...] is nonetheless important as a demonstration that regardless of what the former president has argued, no one is above the law."

"For the last two years of elections — from the 2022 midterms to the 2023 elections in Virginia and Kentucky to this week’s special elections in New York and Pennsylvania — voters have held Republicans responsible for unpopular Republican policies.

I've worked with Web content since the mid 1990s. (In 2001, I co-wrote two books: Content Critical; The Web Content Style Guide.) The tech industry has always--always--viewed content as disposable, automatable crap, so it's no surprise that a core purpose of AI is to rapidly churn out vast quantities of crap content. The art of writing and editing are valueless in the eyes of the tech bros. But the art of good writing and good editing have great value, and the AI crap will teach us that lesson.

- Watercolor painting based on a selfie of MechaGhoul. A half body drawing of a young woman with her long hair in two high pigtails and a straight fringe. Her hair is black at the roots and transitions to purple, the same color of her makeup. She is wearing white contact lenses, one of which has a black X. She is wearing a sleeveless black top that zips up in the front and has multiple straps across the chest and her right arm. She is looking at the viewer, her right hand elegantly placed at the side of her face, wide grin and tongue slightly poking out. Behind her a rough black X for decoration. (remote)

Ah, I see that Apple is using "very low adoption of home screen web apps" as a justification to entirely remove home screen web apps. Web apps, by the way, only have a very low adoption because Apple strategically half-implements broken versions of the open standards which define their behavior. Web apps behavior is well-specified and fully viable on other platforms, but... Apple wouldn't get a cut of the revenue.
This is kind of the entire goal of the DMA.
