2018 when Microsroft acquired GitHub it was the largest competitor with similar functionality as far as I know. I used if for a few years before switching to selfhosted Forgejo because selfhosted GitLab back then was painfully annoying and complicated to setup and used enormous amounts of resources and also felt more aimed towards corporate users.

They once were a promising alternative to MS GitHub but now they’re going down the same route.

My tombstone would read: “obeyed all traffic rules and acted like everyone else would do the same”.

A few years ago I’d say Vim but nowadays it’s Neovim for me.

GitHub is not acceptable for new projects since June 4, 2018.

Unpopular opinion maybe, but a web browser is absolutely fine.

It’s already hard to find an actually fully working Linux phone that is even close to being a daily driver.

I wonder how they actually implement it, given that the corporation runs an advertising network.

You can also replace individual components. It’s basically a bunch of binaries using an API.

AI data centers need RAM. HDDs are used for “the cloud”. 1 terabyte per user need to be stored somewhere.

The main problem is that people don’t understand that it is NOT “just an init system”

If you want to open Edge without actually wanting to open it, just accidentally click on one of the advertisements in the main menu or any info area widget. Those ignore the default browser and always open Edge.

Heavy tweaking of Firefox UI (fortunately userChrome.css and user.js are still available, even if hidden in undocumented about:config options), heavy tweaking of labwc, using a custom labwc theme, tweaked GTK theme.

Window resized to get it all in one readable screenshot.

UI redesigns are a marketing feature for paid products because you need to give people a reason to update. (See Microsoft Windows looking different with every new major version).

Mozilla sees Firefox as a paid product (even if it isn’t) and their marketing team decides for a redesign every few actual major releases (not the bogus major releases to get the release number higher fast).

Zen browser with its constant animations and UI elements shifting around and fading in and out, and all the blurry surfaces is everything, but not Zen.

Damn, that looks absurdly ugly and even more like a foreign object on the desktop.

I hope this usability nightmare can be completely disabled or toned down so the browser looks like a native program compared to the rest of my programs.

Ever heard of parents? It’s not the job of the OS or the browserto monitor and control a kids internet access.

In most jurisdictions you need to be an adult to legally get an Internet access.

So people using the Internet are either adults or under the supervision of adults.

The browsers sooner or later will always respond “18+” and do not ask the OS.

Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation 👍

Thank you! 2FAuth looks very promising. Especially with the Android app! I need to check out the repo and history when I’m back home, though. It seems to be a one-man show.
