Linus (of Linus Tech Tips) said pretty much that. They do the "OMG" face for a day or two, and then switch to a less annoying thumbnail.

Apologies if I'm being dumb, but I'm confused. I assumed "adopted" implied that Code Shelter has some alternative repo that it (Code Shelter's community) is maintaining. Is that not the case? If not, then why list it at all?
Re:Exa Is Deprecated on Thursday September 07, 2023 @09:12AM (#37418406)
Hi. Just looking at the site. Under "adopted projects" you list Light Table. But the link just goes to the old, unmaintained repo. It would be great if you could also link to the maintained versions of repos.

Yeah

Reading the posts doesn't require an account. Seems fair that other functionality (voting, reading list, custom blogs, etc.) would require an account.

Edit: I got an account. The "blogs" page is a mix of blogs you follow and default blogs. I guess that shouldn't really need an account to see the default blogs.

Not sure why they wouldn't include that link in the announcement/on github.
I forget where I heard this, but someone put it this way: to the markets, 10% is a positive signal that a company is cutting some cruft, but 25% is a negative signal that a company is in trouble.

Don’t have anything on-topic to say. Instead, I will say: great presentation. The animations etc. kept my attention for something I’m not all that interested in.

> The idea that someone would switch to the Windows (or linux) ecosystem because of some visual tweaks to MacOS settings is very amusing to me.

That wasn't even the gripe. They have disliked the last few major revisions of macOS. I think that's a good enough reason to consider a switch.

I can’t use Firefox plugins on iOS.

Then there's CS:GO, whose developers refuse to use intrusive practices to counter cheating. And the game is ruined by rampant cheating. (Neither for nor against. Just saying.)
