> Deleted all the forks I had on GitHub, moved the very few repos I care about over to Codeberg
I believe moving over to #Codeberg is a big improvement over relying on #GitHub (which, as #SourceForge once was, is the center of gravity for FOSS projects' development).
I closed all my repos on GH some years back. I kept one or two repos on #BitBucket for years, but they were basically dead. When BB rid itself of #Mercurial ( #hg ) and switched solely to #git, I took advantage of the opportunity to close my account there.
That said, large numbers of people moving en mass from GitHub to Codeberg would just move the problem to a different platform. The problem being people rely heavily on a centralized service.
As for GitHub, I still have my account, and with job-hunting, I really need to put something there. Seriously, I have had some places send rejection notices because they couldn't see any evidence (on GitHub) that I knew anything about the job. But I really only want GH to be a secondary mirror of a main repo hosted elsewhere. -

I should find out whether #Darcs and #Pijul have #IRC channels set up for their users. It looks like #Fossil has an unofficial channel (latest info says it is on Freenode). I should also look for #Mercurial and #Git and #Breezy / #Bazaar. -

I think y’all know I favor the #Fossil #SCM / #DVCS over #Git (though I’m giving #Mercurial ( #Hg ) another look as well. I’m resource-constrained as well as energy-limited, but I have been thinking of standing up a miniature software forge for !FNetworks projects and users, likely using Kallithea (which can use both Hg and Git) and also having some Fossil repos (but not as part of a forge). -

#Mercurial now supports !Python 3. With years of work ahead to fix the inevitable bugs. https://gregoryszorc.com/blog/2020/01/13/mercural%27s-journey-to-and-reflections-on-python-3/ #hg #py3
#Breezy, #brz, ( the continuation of #Bazaar, #bzr, ) also supports #Python3 https://pypi.org/project/breezy/ -

Planning to play with #Kallithea https://kallithea-scm.org/ soon. I’m still very much in favor of #Fossil https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki but I’m not rigid about it (the way many #Git and #Github users are). If either Git or #Mercurial ( #Hg ) https://www.mercurial-scm.org/ are appropriate for the situation, I’ll use them. -

I much prefer #Fossil to #Git.
I haven't really used #Breezy / #brz ( the actively developed fork of #Bazaar / #bzr ) or #Mercurial / #hg or #Darcs or #Pijul. I should explore some of these.
Maybe I should see about getting a #Launchpad account. -

Huh #PyQt is using #Mercurial:
https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/hg/
It's so nice to find hg usage in the wild. Just for this, I feel like I made the right choice by using this library.

While I'm not at all surprised that Bitbucket finally is purging #Mercurial, I'm still sad.

Someone in the #Mercurial IRC channel talking about the upcoming release and the corresponding release notes:
"it feels like jordi has provided half of the changes worth mentioning. the rest of us have just been goofing around :)"

Huh, Facebook vanished from #Mercurial development since sometime in October 2018. They're not in the mailing lists, the IRC channel, and they're certainly not sending patches anymore.
I wonder what's up? They've been threatening to fork off for a long while now. I bet they finally did it.
I, for one, am relieved to see them gone. They did some good stuff but they were also a little unpleasant to work with.

On April 5-7, there's going to be a #Mercurial sprint in #Japan. I kind of wish I could go, but it does seem out of the question.

This is great news: @sir's sr.ht has grown #Mercurial support. I am so happy about this.
This has been a week of lots of good news for me.

I just accidentally deleted all top-level files from my project's .hg/ directory. I fat-fingered `rm foo *` when I meant to do `grep foo *`
However, #Mercurial seems to have been able to recreate and rebuild everything after I pulled from the remote git repo.
Nice! That's pretty resilient.

Hey, coders, programmers, hackers:
How many of you *don't* enjoy using #git or #mercurial or #svn or any kind of source control at all? I want to find people who just don't like it and wish there was a better way. I know you're out there!
