   Hope this motivates a few more free software devs to move away to a free host, at least apart from GH mirrors for exposure. IUUC importing this to GitLab would have taken ~½dozen clicks and saved the open issues, etc.?

    That’s interesting. “C# list”, “java list”, “js list”, “lua list”, “nim list”, “php list”, “python list”, “rust list”, “scheme list”, “visual basic list”, “zig list”, all show canonical-looking docs at the top on DDG — some in convenient si

    Bill Gates had enough faith in its effectiveness to do it with Apple (basically handing them free money by buying non-voting shares with a certain arrangement).

    IIRC MS has even had to block their own updates from their own Surface devices to prevent bricking. Contrast that GNU/Linux which a majority of desktop users probably run on hardware that wasn’t designed for it — I know I do because I’

    Would it really be “a massive undertaking to go GNU Octave” when its syntax is a superset of MATLAB’s? Either way, in the longer term I think saving a bit of money wouldn’t hurt, spending some sponsoring Free software could eventually catch
