As @yossarian noted my emphasis was on “new” software. Savannah is dated, doesn’t have modern features projects expect and doesn’t appear to be a forge developers want to use. (Even GNU projects like GUIX and GIMP use Codeberg and GNOME Gitlab instead.)
EDIT: Ideally there would be a “GNU forge software” that is so good it’s actually used widely beyond GNU.

I am not sure what you are alluding too. Codeberg is a platform and therefore can impose limits on what content they host (e.g. ban cryptocurrency and vibecoding content). Forgejo, the software used by Codeberg, is released as free software so users can use it however they want.

The GNU project has published ethical repository criteria and evaluated common forges on them. The only forge (besides their own Savannah) that scores “good enough to recommend” on them is Sourcehut.
For anyone wondering Codeberg.org would score F, just like GitHub. One reason is that it requires JS, and while Codeberg’s JS code is free software it isn’t labeled in the GNU approved way.
I am disappointed that the GNU project tells everyone how wrong they are but seems unable to create new software that aligns with their values and vision.

From the comments:
A large part of the problem is, as noted, quite how long Chromium takes to compile: three and a half hours on my beefy machine.
15 minutes for libreoffice, and FWIW 10 minutes for firefox
Why is Chromium so extremely slow to build? It’s not like Chromium has 10x the features of Firefox.

Combination of conservatism and basic benchmarking across different LLMs.
This is something I have been curious about for quite some time: How are you doing benchmarking in Pi? How much effort is spent to co-evolve Pi with different models?
From the release notes I am aware that you sometimes optimize the integration of OpenAI or Anthropic models, would Chinese LLMs benefit from this as well, or are they very similar from a harness perspective?

Often I am 80% confident that something is wrong, to me the appeal of Claude is that I can quickly check, and be certain that it is wrong and how it is wrong.
I tend to agree that it is annoying if people state “Claude says…”, however I am not sure what a good alternative is:

Rust will indeed eliminate most memory safety issues (except in unsafe blocks), and you can reasonably expect a Rust project to have an order of magnitude fewer vulnerabilities than a comparable project written in C or C++ or Vala.
Currently the best solution is to not use programming language package managers, but GNOME’s Rust code depends heavily on Cargo. Accordingly, I recommend against using Rust for writing GNOME software.
In my opinion the response should be to pin versions of the dependencies or fork and maintain them in the GNOME project, rather than avoiding a programming language the author claims reduces vulnerabilities by an order of magnitude.

I think that built-in pages are a terrible idea because the site will be different in each browser and other tools like curl won’t implement a page at all leading to confusion all around.

This was reported to us by Konstantinos Maninakis on 2026-06-24.
Why did Radicle need 3 months after knowing this fundamental flaw to disclose it?

I am not in the cloud, what are these?
ALB/NLB appears to be load balancers, which also do TLS termination for you.
