In the modern world there is no place for the commercial compiler. They should have made it free (and open source) and only IDE (maybe) paid one. Even better - push into GCC or LLVM.

Not directly related, but still reminds me of the recent Kurzgesagt (they are famous for well-researched content and are originally from Germany) video[1] about the bleak future Germany is facing in upcoming decades.

For self-hosted version as well, unless you patch it.

It doesn't have these pesky message and user limits, unlike Mattermost[1].

I wish they would make local-only deployment easier. For example, lets take 3 machines and try to setup Radicle to work only on those, without joining the common Radicle network. Like on-premises GitLab, but decentralized, without the need of the server. It requires quite some serious scripting and usecase not covered in the documentation.

I am surprised you don't use RustChat[1]

There is some CI service in Radicle but it's still very barebones[1].

The real game changer would be completed Federation[1] support. This is why I am donating both Forgejo[2] and Codeberg[3] and urge everyone doing the same, to give more time and resources for the Forgejo team to implement it properly.

Another good contender is the Radicle[4][5] which is completely decentralized on top of the Git.

RustChat is a minimal team messenger, alternative to Slack, Mattermost, Zulip

> Github is doing some classic big org sneaky things where they don't count degraded service fully.

Even worse example is the Travis CI. For more than a year their CI jobs sometimes get stuck or do not start for days, and, surprise-surprise, it's never shown at their status page[1] - always green. We would switch to something else entirely if not the unique offering of PowerPC and SystemZ servers/runners. Apart from that - it's the worst CI service I used so far.

All the more reason to donate to Forgejo/Codeberg[1][2] or contribute the code to SourceHut[3].

Rizin[1][2] does exactly this, also there is a compact hex-II[3] mode.

Zellij still can't hide/show the status bar on the fly[1] and doesn't support windows preview in the windows list mode. Just these two (and many more) things are enough to stop me from migrating from tmux.

Will this mean the end to NeoVim, whose main (one of) selling point is the tree-sitter out of the box? I hope not, as I am the long time user and supporter of the project.
