It is a client running on an interpreted language your own computer, there is nothing to secure or hide as source was provided to you already or am I mistaking?

It was heavily obfuscated, keeping users in the dark about what they’re installing and running.

This is neither.

Honestly I just hate having fingerprints on a screen. And I use pageup/pagedown mostly which to me is better than scrolling.

Trackpad is nice for a device you can lay flat on a table or keep on one hand while sitting on the sofa, not too much when the device has a keyboard permanently attached to it and it cannot fold. I know I have a thinkpad like that and I never use the touchscreen.

Yesterday someone online told me I'm a boomer because (among the many other issues I mentioned) I said that apple computers lack page up/down keys which is annoying.

Option-up/option-down?

Two keys rather than one, but makes up for it by not being way off in some oddball part of the keyboard. You can one-hand it pretty easily, since there's an "option" right next to the arrow keys.

As a stolid classic-era Thinkpad user I don't have a dog in this fight, but it seems to me that the strain of having to hold down another key as I scroll rapidly would get tiring rather quickly. Perhaps if there was a Cmd lock it would be fine.

in most apps you can just press the spacebar (pgdown) and shift+spacebar (pgup). Home is cmd+up and End is cmd+down

Isn't that how you build your service from the very start? How ironic.

In any case you are always the only one to pay they just reduce their margin with the ad flavored version.

While I understand the network effect of github for public project, I don't really understand why one would want to use it for private repos.

There are tons of git providers including free ones that include full gitlab/gitea/forgejo to get similar features to github and there is nothing more easy to self host or host on a vps with near zero maintenance.

Sorry, which ones support 2-GB private repositories and are supported by package managers?

The same reason b/c FreeBSD is great, but eventually it's transitioned to Linux at scale: commodity personnel.

You wouldn't believe the amount of people that would list Github, but not git, as a skill.

Replacement doesn't have to be a raspberryPI.

Not digging the desired outcome but yes the watercolors are great addition to an interesting technical article.

I am just asking mines after dinner to leave the phone after dinner to my office where all electronic devices charge during the night.

I usualy do that but I sometimes forget.
