Give a hacker a github, they’ll commit for a week.

Give a hacker a mailing list and an ssh, and they’ll be selfhosting for the rest of their life.

Right, because mailing lists are easier to use

Hiring the barrier of entry is one way to reduce your ticket load. And, uh, not having any ticket system at all.

The floss forges have blame also eg https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Documentation/blame/branch/main/README.md but idk if it is exact pair to github. There’s probably some vs code alternative.

I wonder if find works properly if you use their version of find rather than native browser. It takes over typeahead find in a super obnoxious way which Firefox seems unable to prevent. Maybe they just aren’t supporting the native find. Though their in page hijacking never works properly. Maybe you need a nicer device.

You can usually prevent hijacking with a setting in about:config

I use it to prevent clipboard hijacking, for example

I have looked and looked I don’t find anything that actually works. The setting that’s supposed to do it doesnt.

I wonder if it’d be possible with ublocko to disable the specific JavaScript but idk how to do it.

I want to see good forges for alternative DVCSs. Git itself feels like legacy software full a truckload of arcane commands & flags with bad defaults that just keeps bloating. Most software makers at this point have never even used a non-Git VCS.
