They should really self host their own codeberg instance

EDIT: looks like they do now! https://git.suyu.dev/suyu/suyu

    that DMCA link is quite the thing

    edit: to preserve context, there was previously a DMCA link in the footer. You can see it in archive http://web.archive.org/web/20240322163857/https://git.suyu.dev/suyu/suyu/

    They need to move to a P2P model of hosting. Radicle is an open source P2P GitHub replacement. Ideally all open-source development would move to Radicle or a similarly P2P hosted model. If it were made easy enough I would set up an instance to help with hosting on my NAS. These corporations should have no right (or ability) to take down projects that the community has funded and built.

    Not a fan of crypto-currencies generally but I would also set up recurring donations to any legit fork of Yuzu that will accept donation via Monero. Fuck these corporations.

    I love the idea of Radicle, but it looks like it doesn't support Windows natively, so it seems like a non-starter for now.

    Forgejo (pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/) is inspired by forĝejo, the Esperanto word for forge

    As an Esperanto nerd, I love that this and Monero are from Esperanto. Now I want to use it more.

    I want this trend of naming distributed stuff after Esperanto names to continue. :)
