I miss something like GitHub but - hosted in the EU - without "FOSS only" limitation like codeberg. I know I can self-host forgejo but would be nice to have something like forge.eu (even paid!)

You shouldn't be. I do like Java a lot, and recent changes (and speed of those) just makes it more and more better. And I appreciate and I'm under huge awe to the amount of though put into the evolution -- instead of just cramming

Can we stop parrotic absurdly stupid "unelected bureaucrats" mantra? EU and it's bodies is not more "unelected" than in any other government body -- in the UK people don't vote for the PM, members of Lords or c

Current (bridges connecting) is very nice IMHO. I would change the dimensions maybe (I hate that the bills are taller than wider). From the proposal I like birds way more - no issue with national associations and "birds cross borders b
