TIL, thanks! I probably confused this with the GitHub takedowns, when forks are removed as well (as it happened to the youtube-dl repo). I could imagine my manual clone not withstanding such takedown either, though.

That's why I usually don't use the official "fork" feature, but clone and push the repository manually instead. I would like to keep the fork network connection on Github, but I don't want to see my fork deleted bec

For GDPR, it does not matter where a company is headquartered. GDPR applies to EU citizens (users, customers). That's why big companies often comply with GDPR for EU citizens but completely ignore it for people outside. It would be int

With WhatTheCommit [1], I never have to come up with commit messages again. /s I even wrote an IntelliJ IDEA plugin 9 years ago [2]. Half as a joke, half to learn about IDEA plugin development. I'm puzzled by seing so many people

I am using blurhash on my photography website and it works and looks great. But given all the examples and libraries out there, more DIY work than expected was required to implement the main use case for blurhash end-to-end in vanilla JS.
