Gitlab has an excellent free plan, in fact it’s so good I honestly don’t understand how they can afford it and doubt it will last (but really hope it will for individual developers). They even give you Docker registries and thousands of CI hours.

You’re describing a monopoly and the proper tool to deal with it is anti-trust, not entrenching it by pretending it’s a public utility.

This isn’t as insightful as you think. You’re tautologically describing the notion of sovereignty. Sovereignty is supreme power. Of course it abhors “competition.”

Libertarianism is not the same thing as liberalism (classical nor modern).

Switched to Firefox for work and home. It feels like Chrome did in the early days. No, it’s not faster than Chrome. Yes, there are a couple of dev features that I no longer find intuitive. I just mean in the sense that it is really focused on users. Chrome is focused on advertisers. The change has mostly been painless, and I’m a Web developer.

At this point I just don’t trust Google nor Chrome. All the incentives are there for Google to turn Chrome into adware. The evidence is pointing in that direction. And the trust is no longer there.

It’s funny to think about (and this is of course a gross caricature) but Chrome feels more and more like they took all the annoying adware/bloatware from the 2000s and disguised it in a browser—except they figured out how to do it without anybody noticing. Today, we are all Grandma.

If you are asking questions like this you probably should not be buying individual stocks
