Is Codeberg a good alternative if I'm gonna have my dotfiles (public) and some open-source software?
this is why we use [GitLab|SourceHut|Gitea|Codeberg|Forjego|Choose your favorite and insert it here]
(in other news it appears i have inadvertently discovered that the lemmy dialect of markdown supports {ruby|text})
Yeah, I'm not sure what this article is even trying to say; this has been happening for a while now.
Like, it's shitty, but it's not even the shittiest thing Github has done. I'm more annoyed about the whole AI stuff, the fact that they have de-facto veto powers on most open source projects and that they don't let you have multiple accounts to separate your professional life from your cringe life.
Modern times are really "people should get off of X platform but don't because people don't want to move".

  Can you post more on this? I found this article that seems to recommend you only use one account, but doesn't seem to suggest that they enforce it. I have like 8 GitHub accounts with a cringe/professional mix, so hopefully that's not something I need to fix. (Ironically I usually stay logged out anyway)

  Here, I'm afraid. Third bullet. Whether or not they enforce it is another matter.
  Sucks because I kinda might want to contribute some things to projects that I don't want people to know professionally.
  Or maybe I can just make my profile private and hope nobody goes looking too hard.
