It's been a hot minute since I saw a release of major software on Sourceforge. Wow!

  A killer filesystem with a controversial history is a good match for sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/reiser4/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/reiser4/

I assume stupidity is to blame for SourceForge's current unpopularity. If they hadn't started bundling spyware with downloads and responded to GitHub's better features, their huge repertoire of legacy projects would have kept them relevant.

    Got a link to the GitLab thing? Personally I'd prefer SourceHut to become successful rather than SourceForge.

      The cultural zeitgeist has reached another level of loopy, particularly since twenty-twenty. Doing my best to find humor in the absurdity, of a world a bit broken.

  That and GitHub's UI was so much cleaner and professional looking. Even without the bundleware fiasco, the website was dated, and a maze to navigate. GitHub looked like the cool new kid on the block. I'm sure it would have been popular either way.
