Microsoft became miserably incompetent in IT in the 1980s. I'm saying this for decades now: If there is one thing that Microsoft is realy bad at then it's software. Almost every piece of software they produce is worse than the alt

What's more problematic is that Cloudflare is obviously reading and storing and analyzing passwords. So every service that uses Cloudflare on a login page is compromised. I bet that there are several Excel files with all scraped passwo

That is exactly the point. For git you need the ecosystem to cope with it's shortcomings and in addition some experts to help you out of the pickles this software gets you into. I mainly use fossil for personal projects. Whats nice abo

The branching in hg is actually way better than with git. The reason you are confused is probably because you learned the wrong (git) way of branches. If you want the wacky and unreliable git branching you can use hg bookmarks.

Git is neither easy not is it really elegant. It is useful for projects like Linux™ but for the vast majority of projects way better tools like mercurial or fossil would be a much better fit.

The git internals are good for some kinds of projects but for the actual majority of projects git is a very bad fit. Most people don't get that because they are blind for the much better tools like mercurial and fossil. The git UI&#x2F

That is exactly what I thought when I read the words "secure" and "trust". If it is not open source it is neither secure nor should anybody trust it. The word used in Britain to describe a statement like that is bollocks
