i did some research, and apparently this format is officially called “coolyori”, which sounds like “cool yuri”, which is very based.
also, i’ve ditched imagefilp! i found the original meme on knowyourmeme and cleaned it up a bit using pixelorama and krita (it’s perfectly square now, and the dividing lines are pixel-perfect. i also fixed the background, which was very noisy, since that makes it difficult to recolour).
i got the logos from the wikimedia commons.
I work with GitLab a lot. I think it’s better for organizations than using GitHub, but my SW Engineer Spidey sense gives me death spiral vibes.
They’ve swallowed the AI Kool-Aid and are redesigning the UI to push their Chatbot on you (disabled by my org fortunately, but I still see it). They are feature creeping the fuck out of their already bloated product and are engineering features specifically to keep lots of usefull stuff behind the paid tiers, which are getting more expensive.
It’s fine for institutional use if you have sane admins, but long-term I 100% bet on Forgejo.
We use gitlab (free) for our organization and have definitely noticed the feature creep. It’s a little worrying, and the software has become quite heavy.
Just realized this is also how I feel about Element.
Forgejo is much nicer.
