Before GitHub
https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/4/28/before-github/
GitHub Is Slowly Dying
GitHub is currently losing some of what made it feel inevitable. Maybe that’s just the life and death of large centralized platforms: they always disappoint eventually. Right now people are tired of the instability, the product churn, the Copilot AI noise, the unclear leadership, and the feeling that the platform is no longer primarily designed for the community that made it valuable.

The second is that you really should get a password manager. Many are free or cheap. Some are easy to use.

End of “Chat Control”: EU Parliament Stops Mass Surveillance in Voting Thriller
https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/end-of-chat-control-eu-parliament-stops-mass-surveillance-in-voting-thriller-paving-the-way-for-genuine-child-protection/

Despite today’s victory, further procedural steps by EU governments cannot be completely ruled out. Most of all, the trilogue negotiations on a permanent child protection regulation (Chat Control 2.0) are continuing under severe time pressure. There, too, EU governments continue to insist on their demand for “voluntary” indiscriminate Chat Control.
