It is good to know that your base64 encoding function is tested for all corner cases, but integration and behaviour tests for the external interface/API are more important than exercising an internal implementation detail.

I think that this heavily depends upon the part that is tested or not tested. For certain parts in the kernel, such as the firewall, I truly believe, that such tests cases (including corner ones) shall be present.

The writing is on the wall. You MUST host your own code on a stand-alone website.

Because this does not prevent having the code to land on GitHub at the of the day assuming it is published under a free license.

Now it depends on how you interpret the "MUST". My logic only makes sense if you consider it to a dogmatic-like prevention.

The larger issue is that anyone using GitHub is donating their work for re-use without attribution through Copilot.

Wrong. Lets say a GPL project is not hosted on GitHub officially. I can easily setup a mirror for it though on GitHub as the GPL doesn't prevent me from doing it...

Point is that anyone can put my work on GitHub, even if I don't want to.Assuming the project is under a free license though.

Google Chrome only allows to install extensions from there web store, his would be the end of uBlock Origin for Chrome

Even if I am a Firefox user I don't see a sense in using Chrome. The 'features' that Chrome can but Chromium cannot are these that we everyone love:

* DRM * Centralized extension managment

Disclaimer: I am the guy who made this

The reason is that I only want features that are supported by the most package managers. Sometimes you get a message that the package manager does not support this (especially chromebrew). I don't want to add features that only works with 2 or 3 package managers. I only want features that should work with every package manager. At the moment there are only essential tools. However I will try to add as many as possible.

Bitcoin is broken 8 years ago

It is ethical not correct to do things that BTC.com do. But you should also keep in mind that BTC.com are Bcash promoters. Maybe they want to destroy Bitcoin because they want to make Bcash stronger. People should stop mining for BTC.com

I think that Ethereum and smart contracts would be better for notary. By the way, you should not forget that he is Faketoshi
