Even looking at the comments from that thread and the Codeberg page at that time in archive.org, I don't really see much that points to it as a proper GitHub alternative, other than the editorialized (I think) post title. Which I think

This. I assume it's a similar argument as the one presented in https://loglog.games/blog/leaving-rust-gamedev/ Edit: I just noticed that this article is also writen in the archival reason. I'll leave it

One of the issues I have with "languages that don't suck anymore" is that, even after the language gets all the cool new features, you'll still end up having to use some libraries targeting old versions. So you end up ha

I think you just need the Wohnungsgeberbestätigung from the landlord and fill the registration paperwork at the Bürgeramt (which, depending on your city, might be a bit hard to get an appointment), you might also need to take care of the TV

It's interesting to see PornHub in there, but not the other Aylo (former MindGeek) properties (YouPorn, RedTube...). I wonder if they could in theory bypass the DSA by just breaking PH into smaller services and hope for a split user ba

From what I can tell, this is the first version without a composite video output, correct? It's a bit of a shame. What are the alternatives for someone who needs a computer connected to an old CRT TV? Are there other boards with compos
