Why not just give it away for free? It always seems odd to me that games just disappear rather than being allowed an elegant death of old age.

Is that your experience with the OS or cosmic?

Honestly, it's not as important. These projects are working with very limited resources, typically dependent on free labour. Accessibility is incredibly hard to get right and half arsing it isn't going to work. The priority should be pushing out a reliable, working prototype that people want to use. Once that's accomplished you can refocus on expanding the features.

Demand for reliable multi monitor support is going to be far higher than screen reading capabilities.

But their issue isn't the old website. They're complaining about the new version?

OP also felt the need to refer to the platform as Microsoft GitHub. So it seems likely this is all just grumbling about evil corp making changes

There seems to be a rando paragraph about AI as well,then it trails off that they're looking for recommendations for git blame clients. I couldn't really figure out how it was all GitHub's fault or where the word legacy fits in.

I kinda got bored halfway through. From what I gather they're salty that GitHub is switching to react? If that's the issue then the headline is rather misleading isn't it?

Surely legacy software is one that drifts into obscurity through lack of investment which is the polar opposite of GitHub rewriting their entire front end..

I actually quite like this idea.

You can take it a step further and use file extensions to determine the format. For example the parser would first search for title, and if it doesn't exist try title.md title.html etc and render the content appropriately.

Wouldn't it just be easier to store stuff on the phone...

The reason you're struggling to think of anything to put on it is because you don't need to be carrying a USB drive.

No aircraft cabin crew have ever put out a call asking if there are any Linux sysadmin onboard with a copy of GParted Live v1.5.0 for 32bit ARM devices .

I suspect if this was enabled by default there would be uproar from people annoyed the distro was stealing their bandwidth, and if it were opt-in then very few people would do it.

Windows Update uses peer to peer to distribute updates. It's one of the first things I always disabled.

When you finish the final sentence of an essay or a report do you just submit it straight away? You don't read it through?
