That’s actually pretty cool. I was born with one of my adult molars missing and always wished this was possible. Hope the results turn out positively.

Beewho?

I guess it depends on your threat model, but if you’re dealing with mission critical proprietary code then it should really never be leaving your own companies infrastructure, imo. If for some reason it is necessary to use enterprise cloud hosting, established actors like Github, Gitlab or even Bitbucket still seem like the obvious choice.

The issue is this “Gitea Ltd.” company (or is it “CommitGo Inc.” now? honestly pretty confusing…) which appears to have been created with the singular purpose of monetizing Gitea, appeared out of thin air with no input from the community that actually develops Gitea. They’re basically saying “you can’t trust those other smelly hosts that have existed for years and have contracts with tons of huge companies, but you should definitely trust us with your stuff bro!”. Seems off to me.

That’s cool I guess, but it’s easy enough to just spin up your own instance that you fully control in like ten minutes. Can’t see myself using this or recommending it to employers. Maybe I’m missing the point?

By all means please go on, don’t let me stop you from making a fool of yourself.

damn you typed a lot of words just to be completely incorrect.

Don’t worry about it too much, this meme is just garbage and basically everything it asserts is wrong or inaccurate. The other person who replied to you was just being a condescending smuglord because you asked reasonable questions instead of participating in the “Windows Bad” circlejerk.

Well, that is at least a start. Now could we agree to switch “Israel as a nation” with “The right-extremist government of Israel, it´s military and the ultra-nationalist settler movement” please?

Israel “as a nation” has been doing this since its inception in 1948. It has never been anything besides an ultra-nationalist settler movement. I suspect you either greatly lack historical context or are arguing in bad faith tbh.

Landlord hands typed this.

Takes like this are so bizarre to me ngl. I highly respect developers of free software - especially those that give up their time without any compensation. However, at the end of the day people are going to use what they know works best for them. If that’s the free alternative for you, then great! But digging your heels in the ground and only using certain software - not because it’s better functionally or in any material way, but only because it’s free, at the expensive of your own productivity (or worse, the productivity of your peers because now they have to deal with your broken shit) is incredibly childish. No one actually cares in real life. Being a smug open-source zealot, and belittling people who don’t have the same narrow perspective isn’t “making a stand,” or really doing anything besides making you sound insufferable lol. Saying this as someone who’s contributed to and maintained several FOSS projects, as well as commercial ones. (edit for clarity: I’m using free/open-source/FOSS interchangeably, not referring to freeware.)

or for people who don’t have a week to dedicate to learning utterly deranged nonsense, just use sublime merge and never look back.

Beyond Compare 4 - various types of file comparison and merging operations.

WinDirStat - makes it easy to identify and clean up files taking up your drive space.

Everything - I resisted using this for a long time and wish I hadn’t.

Joplin - note taking app with markdown editor.

QTranslate - discontinued freeware, most recent version that I’m aware of is 6.10.0. very useful translation app that supports Google, DeepL, Yandex and others.

RapidCRC (Unicode) - file hash creation and verification

also shout out to Windows Firewall, not really a new thing but many people don’t bother learning how to use it properly.
