Wouldn't the zlib licence fit here?

2. Altered source versions must be plainly marked as such, and must not be misrepresented as being the original software.

Unfork() 7 years ago

In the git context, fork doesn’t really mean anything. That’s just a github thing.

Enable JS to, LITTERALLY, just display black text on white background. No image that loads when you scroll or whatever, no fancy sidebar that scrolls weirdly and annoys you, nothing. Just plain text. And you need javascript.

That’s absurd.

For you, sure.

For all the people that had their browser completely broken for the whole day, without any reason, however…

And your one-day fix, how much time do you think it will take to be deployed on people’s linux system? Probably a few days or more. Probably enough for them to realize that they can just switch to Chrome to have a working browser.

No, you copied on your hard drive something that was offered to you for free on github.

Hosting that code yourself somewhere else would be illegal though.

IRC turns thirty 8 years ago

It might seem weird, and probably will not please everyone, but in my experience, using an XMPP client (Conversations) along with biboumi (an XMPP <-> IRC bridge, https://biboumi.louiz.org (note: I'm the author)) is the best way to use IRC on mobile:

- You can idle in the channels without doing hundreds of part/join when your phone loses the connection

- You get the full backlog of what was said while your phone was offline

And you can host just one biboumi instance for all your users. You can even configure it to connect to just one IRC server. The users just have to join channels like #nodejs@irc.myxmppserver.com

GitLab 11 released 8 years ago

What’s wrong with having the issues, project management stuff, CI, etc in one place, as long as you control that place?

Yeah, so, nothing really useful when what you’re waiting for is proper keyboard customization.

No. What SamWhited probably meant is “It’s better to use XMPP-client -> biboumi -> slack’s irc gateway -> slack than XMPP-client -> slack’s XMPP gateway -> slack”. Because otherwise, the comment makes no sense, since biboumi is not a native Slack gateway.

So, since both XMPP and IRC gateway will disappear, it does not help.

Google's C++ Class 8 years ago

I look at that and wonder where did cout come from?

This is the biggest issue with this. STOP TEACHING “using namespace std;”. This is bad, bad, bad, and it sucks.

Same for me, there’s no VimFX or Keysnail equivalent. I’ll just stay on firefox 57-0a1 (that’s an old alpha release, where (strangely) VimFX and the good old Tree Style Tab still work) for a long time.

- Open a new window: the tabs are not there by default - You need a css hack to hide the standard bar - There’s an ugly title thingy at the top of the tab pane
