Genuinely curious here for someone who has tried self hosting git and has found it a pita to maintain...i want to know what is it that devs are flocking to other platforms and how are we sure that they won't pull all the red card signals that github is said to pull off.

tangentially related:
This is one of my favorite videos. After the first penguin jumps the crowd follows till then they confused. Regardless the sight of penguin jumping is breathtaking.

>> Also a simple script that moves my cursor one pixel every 30 seconds. Cannot disclose why I need this.
Hehe. Definitely not to avoid the company micro time tracking their employees.

Qawalli is great and thank you for spreading more of this and keeping it alive.
Farid Ayaz & Abu Mohammad Qawalls is one of the greatest qawalls of all time in his dedication to music, they never sold out to commercial terms while making quality music.
Farid Ayaz also carries an aura around him and the music he creates. If anyone is interested in getting to more into qawalli they should check out this documentary called "Had Anhad"[0], I'm linking a section where Farid Ayaz is interviewed below(cause I'm such a fanboy ;)
To OP, Great work, for keeping the verbal poetry alive. PEACE

This is super cool. I also find it hard to the right fit for me so I usually end up at a tailor or wear baggy clothes(which are in trend) however the comfort of having the clothes fit you right and you feeling really good about is missing and fast fashion sucks too lot of poorly designed clothes and cheap materials that becomes generic quite fast.
Kudos for living this lifestyle, those pants look really sick..

Hi, this seems like an interesting project, is the application open for non U.S residents?

As an alternative solution,
you can ask if the user would like to setup their font on start of
emacs and invoke `menu-set-font`. But i think this won't work for people
who want to run their emacs in console, another problem i see with this
solution is, it would prompt every time emacs starts, which would lead to more confusion.
> I have an idea of how to solve the font issue (https://git.sr.ht/~pkal/ecg/tree/master/item/ecg.lisp#L342), but on my systems this never gives me all the fonts.
if i read it correctly `document.fonts` reads like "get all the fonts used on this web page" rather than "get me all the fonts installed on this computer".

Neat. I like the fact that it is opinionated providing a decent setup
to get things done.
Here are some of the things i was confused about, or thought could be improved.
1. The label of checkbox don't seem to respond to clicks.
2. On Font Input, There's no description or selections on what inputs are acceptable.
3. There is no mention of Javascript in programming language support section. iirc typescript package can handle js mode apart from the default builtin support for js. A mention of js would have be nice.

i once did gui development in racket/gui.
The dependency between widgets and variables
is a pain to deal without something like that.
P.S: don't take this to mean i hate on racket, i'm just complaining about the default state of racket/gui, there have been attempts to improve it by 3rd party libraries(https://docs.racket-lang.org/gui-easy/index.html).
