everyone here will forget we only have encryption today because openbsd was in Canada.

every usa based project had to quit shipping any cryptography code. but who cares about history. who cares you can only participate in some open source project today if you have an account with usa companies? nobody cares. screw the Iranian engineering student. and hope the usa doesn't outlaw encryption again.


it's about having you logged in for the day.

logged in user ad impression is 8 to 12 usd. anonymous user is .01cent per thousands.


There are ads on GitHub?


I don’t see how that relates to my comment


I believe the previous poster means that there are people who have an account but aren't logged in all the time.


I honestly don’t understand why. On my computer I log in once and that’s it. They don’t automatically log you out. I haven’t logged into GitHub since setting up my computer.


most open source projects migrated to gh when they pledged it would always be free and open for open source...

now under new ownership they closed search and "pray they don't alter the terms further"

ps: also everyone here guessing wrong. Microsoft is an advertising company. requiring you profile for a service is self explanatory.


Is it really an advertising company?

Seems to be around 5pc revenue from a quick search.

Not that I want to defend Microsoft.


and the race to scam people with snake oil that allows regulators to ignore you have government and personal identifiable information flying over aws is on!


What makes you think it's a scam and snake oil?


support cost is inversely prop to quality (code and design)

knowing code quality levels at those companies and how they replace actual designers with PMs... it was their goal to have the most expensive support!


about:config, close on last tab close, set to false


yet huge ux changes between chrome updates are fine? *ponderingfaceemoji


It's also happening with Firefox. Stupid redesign, felt, each new version. It's not about the design.. but it is, because less readability, less contrast, less visible difference between active/inactive tabs.. and so on.. but you're right. Changing browser is a no-go, but having suddenly different UI is not???? Lol.


Are there UX changes? I haven't noticed any.


Do you not see the irony in this? By admitting that you don't notice the (real and fairly recent and large) UI changes in Chrome you've just dropped all credibility from any argument you might have had about caring about the UI being different.

Firefox is really not that different. Even the keyboard shortcuts are the same.


exactly. odd uh.

most firefox changes are actually to copy what chrome is doing.

like removing the search bar and forcing sending everything you type in the address bar to a search engine, having a logged in account in the browser, etc



How can spreadsheetguru be the perpetrator? There seem to be disqus comments on that article that are many years old?
