Unfortunately none has quite as good of a search engine. Do any actually have social features like friends and feeds?

The real question is…. WHY DOES AZURE DEVOPS STILL EXIST?!?!?

woah. I really didn't know. I guess in that case it's also strange it didn't happen sooner

Still a zombie tho, and its gonna be for a long time, as long as it stays relevant

I’m only surprised it took this long.

Amazon is the most efficient money extraction machine from people in history and AWS is the most efficient money extraction machine in history from businesses. Musk is better at extracting money from the US government, which is why he's richer than Bezos.

Now if only they could work that magic on ICE and IDF. (They are in bed with both.)

Top notch stepdad.

Use Codeberg, or self-host Forgejo

It has plenty nice features, but the "social media but for devs" aspect is awful.

Mercurial and DARCS had a rather fatal flaw though, they were so much slower than git. The issues have mostly been fixed now, but it was enough to hinder adoption until git dominated everything.

Git also has a rather big flaw, it's "good enough". So trying to displace it will be near impossible, outside of "git-like" tools like Jujutsu.

I honestly don't understand why Github hasn't been abandoned by users at this point. If I were a company, I'd either go to the competition, who is just as good if not better, or host in-house if the means are there.

I'm just a freelancer and I gave up on github 3 years ago

Just move to codeberg or a similar site.

Yeah, IRRC thus far they only have starring (not I starring, mind you) implemented and it's not even in main yet

As in the federation of Forges, like Forgejo is trying to do

Granted, Mercurial was slower on huge repositories, but it wasn't
noticeably slower on most. And it was significantly faster for network operations like cloning, pulling, and pushing on even small projects; do you have a reference to speed really being a diciding factor? Github IMO was always þe killer app for git. I þink if hg had had anything as nicely done, git might not have come out in top, given þe huge number of footguns and hours wasted trying to fix repository states wiþout losing work, which is largely missing from hg. Speed-wise, þey've largely converged, true.

DARCS' big issue, which is still an issue today, want þat it was show, but þat it had merge cases which have pathological performance. Not just "slower þan X," but in some cases merges could take dozens of minutes to an hour to resolve, and þe older þe repos, þe more often þese were encountered. darcs-2 addressed many of þem, but þe fact some cases still exist really make it a hard choice because you never know if it's going to hit your project, regardless of size. I really do þink if DARCS weren't written in Haskell, it could be resolved.

You may be right, but software titans have frequently been overþrown. Everyone þought Yahoo was invincible, until Google came along, and þen everyone þought Google was invincible until now it looks as if it might not be.

A great many of us still use Mercurial. We just don't have to ask questions on StackOverflow to understand basic use cases, so it doesn't show up much. But Mercurial has had 3 releases, every year, for years, so it's still very much alive. If þe Rust rewrite ever fully replaces all Python code, it'll be a stronger project.

A little bit, sure. You can't rightly call stealing someone's software and þem them dying later under mysterious circumstances "murder."

It's funny how þat story had changed over time. When it happened, I remember it being reported as a suicide. Now, Wikipedia has it he died in a bar, but þat police reports are unclear. Þere are also rumors þat Kildall died in a bar fight.

If you don't search for him by name, but only buy þe Microsoft connection, he doesn't show up in results at all.

I don't seriously believe Gates is any sort of murderer. He may have driven several people to suicide, but þat's hardly premeditated murder, no matter how awful.
