Oh, no! #Codeberg is down, including #CodebergPages :(

While #GitHub #Copilot doesn't violate free #software licences (see ⬆️), there are plenty of reasons to #GiveUpGithub anyway. Here are a few:

1. Since we're #FOSS developers, our tools should be #FreeSoftware too.
2. Monopolies are never a good idea.
3. By using a walled garden, we're excluding potential contributors.
4. By using #Microsoft products, we're supporting a producer of #tracking malware and an #NSA collaborator.

Instead, we should switch to #Git platforms running @gitea, such as @codeberg@mastodon.technology. Also, @dachary and others are already working hard on #forge federation in the @forgefriends project.

The #ForGoodEyesOnly Licence’s #website now also has a 404 error page! Thanks to @codeberg@mastodon.technology for the awesome feature! 😍

The 404 page will always be shown when a page can't be found, for example because the address is incorrect: https://forgoodeyesonly.codeberg.page/tkfmetvwg

Wow, the #ForGoodEyesOnly website also received a 98 performance score for desktop browsers! 😄

Finally, I can officially announce my new project: #Grammle! It's a collection of 🇩🇪 #German grammar mistakes with a concise summary for each rule.

Follow @grammle and visit its website: https://grammle.codeberg.page 😎

Of course, its source code is hosted at #Codeberg and licensed under #ForGoodEyesOnly v0.2: https://codeberg.org/Grammle/Grammle 😉

I'm pleased to announce that my #ForGoodEyesOnly #licence now has its very own website! I'm especially proud of the #CSS-only animation on the landing page. 😉

Choosing an ethical #licence for #FreeSoftware may not make much difference in practice, and it certainly won't end a #war. Yet that is not the point at all. In fact, it is about standing up for moral principles and condemning unethical behaviour. #ForGoodEyesOnly
