Unfortunately, all the native "system" GUI frameworks are all terrible in their own unique ways.

Unless you mean drawing the gui directly to a graphics surface, which often results in even poor accessibility and system integration unless the developer cares a lot about that and puts a lot of effort into it.

Qt is used to develop arguably the best desktop environment on the market - KDE Plasma - as well as a miriad of serious software artifacts. It's not exactly native to MacOS and Windows, but advantages overweight the downsides.

Maybe it's called zero native because that is how native it is.

That was my interpretation too (no idea if it's correct though)...

"Not native" doesn't roll off the tongue quite so easily (dot com is available for a few grand). Concept is solid, an ingenious name even.

I get adding query strings on links to your own domain, but from the original post, it sounds like the author was seeing third parties add query strings to links to their domain and I don't see what the point in doing that is, unless the entity adding those quey parameters is able to somehow intercept them between the browser and the website (which is possible if they control the browser or a cdn).

I think cargo's yank is a good balance. It makes it difficult to pull the yanked version in as a dependency, but doesn't break existing usages, as long as the version is in the lockfile. And I think even then gives you a warning that you are using a yanked package.

When you only have eight emoji reactions to choose from, people are bound to get creative in how they use them.

Tranparency is also missing from the new values. Can't say I'm terribly surprised,but I am disappointed.

There are a lot of downsides to self-hosting your git as well. Especially if you need to deal with high availability, scalability beyond a single server, and/or being open to the public Internet.

I'm not saying you should never self-host your git server, but it's not for everyone.

No, these things are actually much easier to solve when you don't have to care for millions of users across every timezone and can just focus on <10,000 users that can easily be handled with a modest VPS setup.

It's truly pathetic how developers today cede everything to cloud services. A $20 VPS (whatever gets you 4 gigs of ram) is likely enough to host all the business needs of 90% of SMBs across the US.

Even easier today with things like Docker, Forgejo, and other great self hosting solutions.

Why would a company care about opening up their codebase to the internet? These are problems you don't have to care about when you only want a small subset of solutions. Especially when the tradeoffs are drastically simpler.

Good thing Github suck at availability and scalability much more than your friendly local sysadmin...

These days even without trying I get more nine than GitHub.

Arguments against self hosting have to change as our SaaS overlords are decaying in front of our very eyes.

MS isn't solely to blame for the AI increase, but they are certainly part of the problem, including their integration of copilot into Github.

You could also redirect to the url with the query string dropped.

But then it’s barely a protest.
