Fox, who also oversees Apache Maven, a popular Java build tool, explained that its repository site is at risk of being overwhelmed by constant Git pulls. The team has dug into this and found that 82 percent of the demand comes from less than 1 percent of IPs. Digging deeper, they discovered that many companies are using open source repositories as if they were content delivery networks (CDNs). So, for example, a single company might download the same code hundreds of thousands of times in a day, and the next day, and the next. This is unsustainable.

Karrot is nice

Too many people use the LLM generated caption feature, but that's a fault of the users than the platform itself.

At the same time, they became a lot more palatable to the rest of the world and companies that want to avoid bad press / boycotts

Piefed does have a migration tool from what I remember of lemm.ee's shutdown

I think in reality, the world has shifted a lot from the bipolarity of the cold war and it's no longer possible (or productive) to try and figure out which "side" every nation is on.

This other article has some details. Note there is more to it than just this excerpt, I might be leaving out key information unintentionally while trying to find a source

Over the weekend, Pakistan carried out strikes on seven camps allegedly belonging to the Pakistani Taliban—also known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)—and an Islamic State (ISIS)-affiliated group located in the Afghanistan provinces of Nangarhar and Paktika, according to Pakistan’s Ministry of Information & Broadcasting. Kabul said the strikes had hit civilian homes and a religious school and killed at least 18 people. The airstrikes killed at least 13 civilians in Afghanistan, according to the U.N. mission in Afghanistan. Pakistan claimed that the airstrikes killed at least 80 militants.

Islamabad has accused Kabul of hosting groups, including TTP, that have carried out recent terrorist attacks in Pakistan. The Taliban have publicly denied hosting TTP and other terrorist groups.

Citing a series of suicide bombing attacks this month, including an attack on Feb. 6 that killed more than 30 people at a mosque in Islamabad, the information ministry said in a Feb. 21 statement that it had “conclusive evidence” that the acts were perpetrated by militants at the “behest of their Afghanistan-based leadership and handlers.” The ministry also asserted that the Taliban has “failed to undertake any substantive action against” terrorist groups based in Afghanistan.

Aliya Rahman, a U.S. citizen who was dragged from her vehicle after an ICE agent shattered its window during President Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, attended the president’s speech on Tuesday night at the invitation of Ms. Omar. As Mr. Trump was speaking, Ms. Rahman was seen being escorted from the gallery above the House floor by Capitol Police officers. She could be heard shouting for someone to call Ms. Omar, and that all she had done was stand up.

Ms. Rahman, 43, Ms. Omar and the U.S. Capitol Police said in separate statements that Ms. Rahman had been charged with unlawful conduct by disrupting Congress. The misdemeanor charge is punishable with a fine of up to $500 and up to six months in prison.

Ms. Rahman — who is disabled and has autism, according to a written statement she provided to Congress earlier this month — told Democracy Now in an interview that the arrest aggravated injuries that she had sustained when federal agents dragged her from her vehicle last month while she was headed to an appointment for a traumatic brain injury.
