why are people that are building FOSS software not using FOSS software to build it? Gitlab? Forgejo?
Because users don't use it.

Well now i know Linux is ready to switch over to.
Thanks Microsoft!

EU should really create rule to use only EU FOSS tech for goverment services. For all member states.

I wouldn't say it is particularly easy to setup, not easier than using a Docker image at least.
Gitea (and hopefully Forgejo as well) really is.

I can vouch for Forgejo, it is pretty easy.

People are complicated and FOSS isn't as simple as all or nothing.
Sometimes people have things setup before they discovered FOSS - it's hard for me to give up my gmail account from age 14, even though I run my own domain now.
Sometimes FOSS gets captured - Microsoft owns githib now, which makes tough decisions for all the projects hosted there.

Thanks for the reply, cheers.

Doesn't he live in Moscow? So it might just be due to the sanctions.
Or the terrifyingly-random bullshit that happens when someone chooses to depend on a free service such as Hotmail as their primary mission-critical address. (This article is about the developer getting locked out of their Hotmail, and the generally-broken state of Hotmail’s account recovery process.)
That could be it. What is certain is that these big corps really don't want to pay human beings to sort out issues so if you get caught in the middle of some BS you may have no recourse out of it.

I am a newbie in LibreOffice, but I am wondering whether me chronicling my first experiences in it would be worth doing.
I think what we sorely lack is more people like Nick and Michael Horn making approachable tech news about this niche.
I understand that to some the idea itself of the tech news cycle, focused on its own navel all the time is not appealing, but I think that is exactly there that a channel like this could distinguish itself, showcasing OSS solutions having an impact on the public good, something the usual news outlets cannot afford to do since every second is lost revenue.
The only risk is being boring.
I think it would be worthwhile, and probably help some people.

Eh, that's when you just turn on auto-reply/forwarding and abandon it.
But of course they need to be able to access it to enable auto-reply.
This is what I did. I set up autoresponse giving out an address that redirects to my new email address. My parents called me to see if I was hacked. Everyone else just started using the new address.
