It just sounds like they didn’t understand the relationship between Forgejo and Codeberg. I didn’t either into I looked it up just now. IMHO their comment is best interpreted as being about Codeberg. People running their own instances of Forgejo are tangential to the topic at hand.

Or just make authenticated requests. I’d expect that to be well within with capabilities of anyone using MELPA, and 5000 requests per hour shouldn’t pose any difficulty considering MELPA only has about 6000 total packages.

What has Microsoft extinguished lately? I’m not a fan of Microsoft, but I think EEE is a silly thing to reference because it’s a strategy that worked for a little while in the 90s that Microsoft gave up on a long time ago because it doesn’t work anymore.

Like, what would be the purpose of them buying GitHub just to destroy it? And if that was their goal, why haven’t they done it already? Microsoft is interested in one thing: making money. They’ll do evil things to make money, just like any other big corporation, but they don’t do evil things just for the sake of being evil. It’s very much in their business interest to be seen as trustworthy, and being overly evil runs counter to that need.

IMHO Coq is a much worse name, because everyone knows what a cock is.

I’m gonna need a source for those claims.

“The economy is bad, actually” is a wild take.

They can’t ban a MAC address. They don’t have any way to find it.

What they should probably do is is cap the settings to what computers at release time can handle, then patch it later with “graphics enhancements” that do nothing but raise the cap. They could even do it more than one. It keeps users’ expectations reasonable at launch and then lets the developers look like they’re going the extra mile to support an older product.

As a bonus, they could store the settings in a text file somewhere that more sophisticated users can easily edit to get max settings on day one.

Getting exposure to the language only once a week will definitely hinder you a lot. When learning a language, there’s a bunch of stuff you’ll memorize without even thinking about it if you spend time working on it every day, but it will be hard to remember if you spend a week between learning sessions.

I considered saying the same thing, but C# has been around almost as long as Java at this point, and I believe it’s commonly used for teaching, so I have a hard time believing there’s a shortage of learning resources. Starting with Java seems like a waste of time if your goal is to learn C#, because you can learn the concepts equally well in either language, but if OP starts with Java they’ll end up spending a lot of time unlearning Java quirks and APIs while learning the equivalent stuff for C#.

There was an exchange student from Spain in my high school Spanish class (in the US). The main thing I remember is that when we actually needed to communicate with him, it was easiest when he spoke English and we spoke Spanish.

It rhymes with orange.

I work there and I’m not surprised.

Left and right are a de facto standard in dating apps. It’s a terrible UI but they all do it now.

Only 19? Must’ve been a really off day for him. Sad.

People on the other side don’t deserve a mnemonic.

Made me feel like I was crazy the first time I installed pedals on a bike.

My cat used to go in my bathroom and yowl until I went in and got him. Now he has progressed to just yowling in any room with no people in it.

Wait until you hear about rent.

Strange, I’ve never found a use for a lightning cable.
