Forgejo is a solid open source alternative.

Finns are the same way in my experience.

Just get some x86 and ARM runners off netcup, manage Woodpecker CI + Woodpecker Agent. Generally pretty hands-off once you get it set up. That plus a cheap VPS running Forgejo with postgres off-site backups, you are looking at a small fraction of the cost compared to per-seat GitHub pricing for orgs + Action Minutes.

So glad I moved my OSS org mostly over to a self-hosted Forgejo + Woodpecker CI. I get that we are operating on a completely different scale but I swear the GitHub outages are far too regular than they ought to be.

My experience mirrors this as well.

I was fully in on Cursor for a good chunk of last year, using Composer + Gemini Pro (via Copilot / GH integration). I really enjoyed Cursor's tab completion capabilities, but when Sonnet and Opus started getting particularly good for me (think for me it was around 4.5), I swapped over to Zed + claude code in the integrated terminal. I've found that after a bit, I haven't ended up missing the tab completion. I've been perfectly fine with just LSP + claude always open. I don't miss Cursor. All my colleagues are on claude code with half of us also using Zed.

That joke really went over your head, huh...

As far as I know, it's their own in-house solution (not fltk, gtk, qt, etc.)

WhatsApp works okay on my Jolla C2. Occasional annoyance with device detection (BT headphones) where it'll still end up outputting to speaker, but I haven't had that with any other Android app running via AppSupport like YouTube Music, so dunno if that's just WhatsApp being problematic.

Installed it from Aurora, an open source frontend to the Play Store.

Biggest pain-points for me with AppSupport is:

1. Lack of Bluetooth passthrough in a sane way (community workaround results in it being unavailable with host OS). 2. It does not report to apps that PIN entry is enabled, meaning some awful but important apps like Danske ID don't work.

Otherwise it does the job remarkably well. Still prefer native SFOS apps when available, however it is a small ecosystem and so depending on your usecase you may find yourself installing Android apps.

Same here, Helsinki Finland

After attempt #4 at 1706 Europe/Helsinki, git push worked. So just keep trying.

Cure. Ordered a shirt and stickers. Looking forward to being able to rep Firefox!

I'm not aware of your circumstances, but at least here in Finland I was able to get (and the bank was required to provide at my request) a cheap 2FA token generator device that can be used instead of the app (Danske ID). It works whether I am confirming an online transaction or signing into a service that uses the Suomi.fi centralized login system.

I requested it after they updated their Android app to have a check for pin-code enablement. Sailfish OS doesn't report it via the Android AppSupport system, so it was blocked before I grabbed an older build via Aurora and disabled it from updating. If it ever stops working, I'll only use the token. Once that stops working, I will switch banks.
