@hakanohi Gitlab.com is hosted at Google Cloud. And while they have an open source community version of Gitlab, a large part of Gitlab is "enterprise" and proprietary software.
I would advise you to consider something's that's libre software like Gitea. It's self-hosted, but there's at least two popular non-profit websites who offers free hosting.

Mozilla is laying off 250 people and planning a `new focus' on making money

Okay people, we've seen #Mozilla degrade more and more for years, and we've always hoped it will find its way and get better.
Now people working on Developer Tools, #MDN, and the Rust team - arguably some of the most useful and valuable teams at Mozilla - have been laid off, to make space for more profit making activities.
This is utter bullshit.
But perhaps this is also an opportunity. The FLOSS community forked OpenOffice, XFree86, and other huge projects.
So after cutting staff by 250 people, #Mozilla signs a new Mega-Deal with Google? #WhereIsMySurprisedFace https://www.theregister.com/2020/08/14/mozilla_google_search/

A really great article about how Richard #Stallman wrongly accused of things he didn't do/or say and overall cancel culture.

If any Emacs users on Archlinux or other rolling release distros are scratching their head trying to figure out why Emacs suddenly crashes after updating the system, this may have something to do with libx11 and Xim.
See the discussion here:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/67461
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/issues/116
And here is the patch:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/merge_requests/40
For Arch user, you can now upgrade your libx11 to 1.6.10-2 now to fix the issue.
Almost geek. I love programming and FLOSS. Also enthusiastic about natural languages. Chaotic evil.
