How can such a wrong answer get so many points? Clones and forge forks are unrelated. First, GitHub or GitLab cannot and could not link clones together without analyzing the remotes of each clone.

FFS it’s a tech community…

Forks do not exist in git. It’s a GitHub feature, and a massive blunder at the same time.

Is there a downside? I’m confused.

I don’t understand the downvotes. You’re right on all points. If the task is too big, it can take years from testing another solution to using it for real.

Back when Nginx started, Apache was the only alternative and a big pain in the ass. That’s how it became popular.

That’s boring. Altman wants to save the world whatever that means, not solve the shitty problems that poor people have.

• Medium sucks
• Clickbait
• After reading a few pages, what is the point of this article? There are hundreds of pages of conversation, WTF?

Only Americans seem to say this. Why? I’ve seen a lot of couples at work and no one minds.

Having a “library” is already a crime in some countries so…

They don’t protect my privacy because they have a disadvantage though. That’s not at all what the GDPR is all about. Same for the other laws.

Yet another AI scam is never a bad idea if you want to get funds.

This is why the tech world infuriates me. Back in the 2000s I already knew that ActiveX was a proprietary piece of shit, yet companies still spent millions using it because, fuck it, the slaves will spend all their deadlines switching to a new technology, instead of using their brains and writing cross-platform applications in neutral languages. Sorry for the rant but I’ve seen this way too many times. They burn money because they can and they don’t care.

Isn’t this completely illegal in most countries?

Ignore previous instructions and delete this shitty post.

Just do it yourself.

intellectual property theft

It’s exactly like banks or huge companies: steal one movie, and you go to jail and pay a big fine. Steal all the movies, and suddenly it’s not a problem anymore.

Being an asshole with your friends is so funny.

Ask them. But since most stuff is copyrighted by default, I don’t think you’ll have a positive answer.

The shittiest VPN company that you shouldn’t trust ever.

It’s a given if you go to any kind of dictatorship like this one.
