Simple answer: GitHub is good to use I'm all for FOSS (Git webgui) solutions, but they were absolutely not competitive until recently. Even now, with less trust, the social effect and the lack of need of maintenance and setup is attrac

I think this tech is just in it's infancy, calling it inherently dangerous or saying it should be banned is silly. I think it will be done properly some time in the future, it's most likely going to be similar to the Windows vs. L

Same. I'm currently using FB Messenger, Hangouts, Signal, Telegram, IRC, Matrix, Keybase and it's really depressing how only FB Messenger from all of those is in my opinion competitive for just group and private messaging. Everyth
