Zuck was gushing about Ready Player One. It's as if the villain was written for him.

Codeberg only serves a small subset of what Github does.

Pitching them as a no-brain replacement and advising people to move all their personal repos over is abusive towards Codeberg.

For community-facing FLOSS it is good. For other uses you need to look elsewhere. Forgejo, which is what Codeberg ises, is easy to self-host and other providers exist.

https://sr.ht is more open and has paid options.

If supply-chain security is a concern yarn is the worst js package manager you can pick. It comes far down their priority list, below "just make things work without need for user input". Whatever you thought you configured will simply be ignored many times and that's considered a feature.

Go look in that projects issue tracker and commit log for changes to relevant configuration and you will know what I mean.

Even yarn 1.22 is a safer choice.

So be more selective with your dependencies then. Next.js is usually a mistake.

Some of us have been doing this for years or decades, including for our desktop OS.

Gentoo graybeards know.

The 51% is US, the question was about California.

The statistic is about commercial production, not number akmonds grown.

Looks safe to say that even majority of almonds are not grown in California.

Title is somewhat misleading. "Node projects" mean projects using nodejs as opposed to projects under the Node.js org.
