Of course it will be. Luckily there are alternatives for devs to goto. Yes a pain for sure but at least there.
Please, can you happen to list some alternatives? Just want to know your perspective.
Almost immediately GitLab comes to mind, which in many ways is superior to GitHub. Some folks here may be aware that Garuda Linux uses GitLab for hosting our code, for which I believe they very generously provide free access to enterprise tooling since Garuda Linux qualifies for the GitLab for Open Source Program:
To qualify, a project needs to be a legit FLOSS project, i.e. all code is open and the project does not sell products or services for money (see: Who Qualifies?). Most Linux distros qualify for this.
GitLab also has both more features, and better features than GitHub. You can really go nuts with the CI tooling if you want to.
One more compelling feature is GitLab is not part of Microsoft’s so-called “AI engineering team”.

I love this forum, I really do…. 
I will have to learn more about GitLab while I do my Computer Engineering studdies.
Much appreshated @BluishHumility

don’t forget that you can host a gitlab server on your own equiptment. there are other “git” hosting solutions too, including something called gitea. https://about.gitea.com/

For shared software development, I’d say GitLab is still great. When I heard GitLab was asking for credit card data of new users signing up to their free tier, I did feel it was time to move on personally, though.
What does this have to do with @Javabean‘s post? Well, I went with Codeberg (https://codeberg.org/) instead, which is a hosted gitea instance.

Now if more and more would stop using the god damn Pumpkin Spice of the digital world that would be SIMPLY FANTASTIC.

They’re not wrong. I ended up removing one program I don’t even use and replacing my Jave version to get the updates to go through.
I guess that explains what’s going on with my technical issue…

Yop I am aware of this, cause I was last few days looking for some packages status in the testing repo of Arch and seen the site not working
Looks like no more fubAUR…

To the surprise of no one in the security industry, processing untrusted, unvalidated input is a bad idea.
Until about a week ago, Perplexity’s AI-based Comet browser did just that – asked to summarize a web page, the AI-powered browser would ingest the text on the page, no questions asked, and process it.
And if the page text – visible or hidden – happened to include malicious instructions, Comet would attempt to comply, carrying out what’s known as an indirect prompt injection attack.

From Linux 5.15 LTS to Linux 6.17 Git was a 37% performance improvement. Very nice gains from software with Linux 5.15 LTS being the long-term support kernel when AMD EPYC Milan-X first debuted. Even over Linux 6.12 LTS from last year was 11% better performance with Linux 6.17 Git. The Linux kernel performance continues moving overall in the right direction.
CPU POWER
Equally important is that overall there was no significant increase in CPU power consumption on the newer kernels. Linux 5.15 LTS for the dual AMD EPYC 7773X processors had a 292 watt average and 642 Watt peak combined while the Linux 6.17 Git kernel had a 299 Watt average. From the Linux 6.1 through 6.12 kernels tested there was also some higher CPU power usage that also inflated the averages but under Linux 6.16~6.17 the AMD EPYC server was in very good shape.
