Oh did not know that, sad to hear.

They did remove traffic to the old Yuzu domains though, which now are in the hands of Nintendo, used to monitor which users use emulators.

Do you have other suggestions for promising successor forks?

Suyu, it's the continuation/fork of Yuzu:

Also Azahar, the continuation/fork of Citra:

To me this sadly is a clear sign that Bethesda has peeked.

They've re-released Skyrim a billion times, now they're re-releasing Oblivion, no news if The Elders Scrolls 6 development has even started yet, and Starfield is a hot mess.

Feels like they're milking out the last possible drops of profit out of their IPs before closing down...

There's 2 parts to this:

• Android Auto app (on your phone)
• Android Auto Head Unit software (in your car)

Both of which are currently proprietary,
and would need to be written as FOSS from the ground up by reverse engineering the above 2, which would be a huge undertaking.

Also flashing custom Head Unit software to your car will be very hard, is not well documented, and likely will void your warranty, giving low incentive for developers to even attempt it :/

The best you can do right now is aa4mg (Android Auto 4 MicroG),
which at least allows to replace the proprietary Google Play services with a privacy respecting FOSS alternative and Android Auto's dependencies with empty stub packages:

Full disclosure,
I helped with writing aa4mg :)

Do you like being spied on and having your data sold?
=> Windows or ChromeOS

Do you have too much money?
=> Mac

Do you have a decent set of working brains?
=> Linux

This post assumes I actually want to waste my time on LLMs, I don't.

And even worse, it assumes you want to use the remotely hosted spy-ware variant, not even the less bad, but still a waste of time local variant..

Been using VSCodium for a few years now, for loose file editing,
no complaints about it, imo it's what VSCode should be.

Believe me, I'd love to ditch Github!

But it's a really though bullet to bite for me..

It kinda acts as my CV for when I'd apply for a new job, and in my nearly 10 years on the platform I've accumulated a nice follower and star count to prove my worth as a developer, which is hard to regain on smaller more privacy respecting platforms like Codeberg or Forgejo..

Perhaps it's time to move to Codeberg though.
If I'd do so I will probably:

1. Initially mirror the repo's to Codeberg
2. Notify the users about scheduled date to move to Codeberg
3. Archive the Github repo's and finalize move to Codeberg

Awesome, thank you for that!

Thank you, that's already a nice start! 🙂

But I was mostly hoping to block the UI elements,
e.g. today they added a Copilot button,
and they also moved the search bar,
and replaced it's old position with "ask copilot".

Would be lovely get the feel of the old Github UI back
with all the Copilot references filtered out.

Edit: Figured it out, check my main post edit for the filters!

Oh wow did not know that.

Well, if them spying on you and selling your data was not enough to make you switch to an alternative, then maybe/hopefully lack of search operators will be!
