Opened a Slashdot link to read a story I hadn’t seen elsewhere; at the top of the Slashdot page was a banner from SourceForge, encouraging me to link my GitHub account to sync and “backup” my releases. That… feels very, very desperate.
~20 (!) years ago, I used Slashdot and SourceForge regularly, they were my go-to communities as a techie and developer. How the mighty have fallen (and, that’s saying something, given I also have complex feelings about the platforms I actively use instead)...
@andypiper sourceforge is the one where they repackage your app with a bunch of crap ware and claim its still yours, right?
@falken I haven’t gone to check whether they are still doing that; certainly when I started out, that wasn’t happening… and then we all left. So, maybe? Anyway. Not gonna click that banner…
