Neither myself nor the author

I have no way of knowing that you are not the author, if you feel addressed and unfairly attacked, I apologize.

Firstly, why the hostility?

Because it's an extremely ignorant position. Literally. When you visit their website the information that it is an association and a community is BLASTED into your face.

https://codeberg.org/

If a user moves away from MSFT/github because they don't like them, I would very much expect that new user to do the bare minimum of investigating who this new thing is they trust with their code. And an association has official membership and of course those members get to vote on such things. That's how any club works. If the music club in school does a performance, the club decides what they're going to play, not the audience.

Can you really confidently claim that everything was communicated perfectly regarding this ban?

This is not a "I have a contract with this corporate entity and I am entitled to service, communication or compensation" situation.

This is a "I have half heartedly joined a club, didn't care for the club activities or opinions of the community and I am acting surprised and pissed that the club is doing club things." situation. Which is ridiculous and deserves ridicule and hostility.

But also, if this is a thing they have a problem with, self hosting is the perfect solution for the author.

Despite not owning a single project that falls into either banned category, I’m now going to look into setting up my own public Git host, and I’ll move off Codeberg only a few months after moving there, because of this.

Good.

Bye!

I don’t want to depend on a platform that rewrites its terms of service on a whim, without properly announcing that the change was even under consideration, and without giving its users a way to weigh in.

This is false, codeberg is a German non profit association that you can just join and then participate in that community and be part of the decision making process. YOU(/The author) didn't do that.

Die Vogeldesigns fand ich richtig gut. Die Gebäude auf der Rückseite fand ich richtig scheisse.

Tja, dann haben wir halt hässliche Geldscheine.

Keine Ahnung wieso es überhaupt ein Redesign gebraucht hat.

the advantage is that they depend less on wind direction.

I fully support where you're coming from, but that is not true. Of course sails still depend on wind. For cargo ships solid sails are an advantage because they require less maintenance.

My ideal solution would be a parent controlled OS based "child account" that has a white list for allowed apps and websites and parents who then use that feature.

I would like to avoid any solution where the website learns anything about the users. Including what facebook has proposed and done in the US, making the age API request thing a law. They're doing that to make their ad targeting more precise, not to protect anyone.

Sure, but they still do exist.

No, because it's a 3 way information exchange.

When you visit a site, you, the site and the government know that you went there.

In cases where the company can exploit that information because it can 100% verify you are a real person that's bad.

But when the people in government can identify that their political opposition did "bad things" online and exploit that against them, that's also bad. Also, the people in charge can always fake that if they want to, and if the system exists, because there is little oversight over the currently planned systems.

We're not talking about "normal and legal behavior", it needs to be tamper proof and safe against malicious actors inside the system. That's nearly impossible to do, so the safe option is to not create that system.

You are free to set up a server that follows that rule and you can advertise the concept and get users that way?

Just dew it.

Weil es das mehr oder weniger ist?

Wir haben in Deutschland und der EU das offizielle Ziel von 2% Inflation im Jahr. Das wird gemacht, damit wir sicher über der Deflation sind, wo es sich mehr lohnen würde das Geld einfach zu behalten als zu investieren.

Du kannst gerne versuchen ein Finanzsystem entwicklen das Inflation nicht braucht, aber mach dich lieber erstmal schlau warum das Finanzsystem das wir haben so gemacht wurde wie es jetzt ist.

"Stenography".

If you scroll down to the "SVG image file with Base64-encoded data" you can see on the right hand side that it's just a binary dump put into the svg via a comment. And also the js snippet just looks for that single comment and puts those together. t's not even split up and used as id string or something (where random strings would be plausible). Boring! Booo! Cheap!!

And tbh I'm not sure what the antivirus is supposed to look for? Things that could be random but are actually a binary dump? Someone please enlighten me.

I suppose it's clever in the sense that people who are actively looking for a job and stressed aren't going to look at random assets of a take home for a job.

How hard is it to implement email verification?

Harder, actually.

That's the point of OAuth, which is what you're seeing there.

The idea is that you're you and you have a... google account. This shitty little website doesn't want to be responsible for you login details, because those can get stolen. Maybe they contain an email address, which is a problem. Software needs to be updated, it's all a big. They don't want to touch anything in terms of security that identifies you as you.

Maybe all the website does is save your favorite pepe memes. They don't need anything else from you, but they still need to have something to get a user id and make sure nobody messes with your pepe meme collection. That's where this system comes in, because the rest of website becomes significantly easier. They don't need to store anything personally identifying, all they get is an ID and they can connect it with your pepes.

The only downside to OAuth is, as you can also see, that it's corpos you don't want to trust that are offering it.
