Alternatively: Forgejo reaches feature parity with GitHub.

This is a bad take. AI is an attack on open source, and so no, open source communities shouldn’t be welcoming of that kind of attack. It’s a bit like the Paradox of Tolerance… you cannot tolerate intolerance, or else your whole community falls apart.

The other way I tend to think of it is ad volunteering st your local library. You can stop whenever you want, you don’t owe anyone more of your time. But what you can’t do is start showing up and shredding books during your shift. Especially for a project dedicated to managing books, using AI is a whole and entire betrayal, and isn’t something that can be brushed away with “AI is just a tool.”

Looks like there’s a bunch of AI nonsense in there, too.

I’m a big fan of Docspell, there’s lots of ways to import docs in (watching a folder, watching an e-mail account, etc), and it plays really well with my IdP instance over OIDC.

Yes and no. Even in living memory, the Southern Strategy goes all the way back to the 60s, and explicitly identifies opposition to the civil rights movement as a conservative goal. Going all the way back to the Civil War, it’s undeniable how much the economy of the United States is built on slavery — opposing slavery is thus also an economic argument.

Point being, I don’t think there was some time in the past where economic policy could be so cleanly separated from racial justice, gender equality, queer rights, disability advocacy, and other things that are now seen as “polarizing.” Every economic debate is, I would posit, at least to some significant degree a proxy for a much more critical human rights debate.
