In all fairness, even the smallest contributions can be valuable. Well, as long as the contributor actually does something useful, and doesn't just farm "fake" contribs.

Homicide is fine, we draw the line at... Male strippers?

Italian here, we have enough fascists here already, we don't need more.

Because the italian PM is BFF with the orange guy.

.NET has been around for two decades. It's a well established technology with plenty of resources, documentation and libraries and frameworks. I guess these are in part the reason it's still thriving.

You're thinking about .NET Framework reading your opinions on it, .NET (Microsoft is terrible at naming) is the "newest" standard and it's fully open source and cross platform. They removed Windows only APIs and embraced the open source way.

While Microsoft is indeed full of shit they did a great move with .NET in the last 10 years.

You don't even need Visual Studio, I use Rider for instance and I love it! I cannot stand Visual Studio either, mostly because I hate its UI/UX.

At the end of the day is matter of preferences, I like .NET and C# and I work with these technologies daily for instance.

I claimed it, thank you! I have a couple of friends which will be happy to play it :)

Better not be a live action

I'm afraid this is just an excuse for mass surveillance. At least, getting rid of American services is definitely a win.

WTF is wrong with you people? All this effort just to be a dick.

Yes absolutely

What future?

I've been using Rider for C# for years, it's light years ahead of Visual Studio. Although, I feel like it got overwhelmingly bloated in the last few years.

Italian here, I don't care lol. This isn't surely the classic recipe, but nobody is entitled to tell you how to cook. If you like it, others can just fuck themselves.

IMO It's definitely cloudbound, I honestly wouldn't expect anything different in this era...

If they're leaving them there, I'd be all for it

You can probably use something like

git clean -xdf

To get rid of all the artifacts not tracked by git, in this case it's virtually the same as deleting the repo and re-cloning it.

NOTE: Make sure everyhing is staged, otherwise that data is gone

I never tried this myself, but you got me curious. Since Proton uses SimpleLogin to handle aliases you should be able to use this from their docs to achieve this (you can login into SimpleLogin via proton if you never did) https://simplelogin.io/docs/getting-started/send-email

FYI Kreate is the maintained fork

Similarly, you can leverage this to wire traffic to DB replicas for instance. This if you need to handle traffic to DBs under specific scenarios (DB problems, burst of traffic, bugs, etc). So basically a purely technical feature flag (paying attention to authorization as always)
