Couldn't this be done by wrapping a open source service around gitlab or a git interface for it so it could be done for free?

What makes those two features so important when using gitlab internally? Would Roku really need those features for its devs? To me they don't seem like things you worry about with normal Gitlab / Github anyways and all kinds of teams use it fine.

Oh nice that $21 includes self hosting. The point we were talking about before was the difference between the two and gitlab can let companies host it for free.

It doesn't say does it? For self-hosted commercial use? Wish either were open-source.

Is it more expensive?

Isn't being able to self host it on your company network a big important feature? Like for all the non-public branches and projects you keep internal. Gives you the same UX for everything.

This sounds pretty annoying though: https://docs.gitlab.com/administration/license_usage/

The solution was simple and always possible. It is to make it only work for same-origin content. Aka it can't work for ads or closed source external web content.

Are comment threads like this 'social media'? Do we need to get sober from reading other fellow people's opinions on information?

The new responsively-sized iframes standard is an exciting one for me not mentioned. It's finally a step beyond the original frames and framesets. It will let us design sites out of iframes as building blocks instead of needing to use web components. Websites made out of websites.

After all these years they still haven't even recognized what they did was wrong so I think their summary was charitable.

I agree with your anger. It sounds like they are actually proud of what they did yet it was 100% bad. They were stealing and threatening someone else's work without any justification and nothing about their story was an apology.

The street is like nameless individuals. A corpo by contrast is the giant vertical sky-scrapers next to it. Total exact opposites. I don't see it as a clever joke when attached to a hostile trade-mark message. By using it in the opposite way from its actual meaning you embodied the entire antagonist cyberpunk corpo ethos in real life.

I'm glad it failed to trademark. Autodesk is one of the worst corpo's around when it comes to being corpo. How un self-aware for them to make that 'street' joke. They were like a 100+ million company back then.

All the IRC server hosts I've talked to said they would never enable WebSocket support from fear of bot spam :(

How can it do this? Wouldn't you see a hundred fetch requests in your browser network tab?

Do you think these people also knew about all the other continents of Earth with other people on them? It seems possible to me it happened on one continent but seems unlikely they really knew about everyone at the time.
