Well I still think it's something to worry about before you end in front of a "Your account has been suspended" notice. How can you be sure someone has the whole dataset locally backed up ? Plus, you still have to reconfigure the workflows and stuff like that. Not to mention that sometime, project's websites are also hosted on github, so that's something else you have to rebuild.
And also, this means devs/contributors have to give their data to MS.
Since the whole point of the project is sovereignty, it should have started with setting up their own gitea/gitlab/etc. instances and domains.
IMHO I think you should write a post/readme/gist describing/demonstrating your browser's key features, with screencap if possible, maybe upload it to gitlab/github/other. It will fare better than asking strangers to download random files from a google drive link. (Although I saw your * is not a virus disclaimer, I still don't thin it's the optimal way to share a work you invested a lot of time on.)
Thanks for the great advice, shlip! You're absolutely right. Since I'm an indie developer, I was focused on the quick delivery, but I realize trust is everything. I'm currently setting up a GitHub repository to share the source code and provide a proper README with screencaps. I'll update the link soon!

Much greater than now, given the open discoverability of the original post here, versus the walled-off content we have today, locked away in discord servers and the like.
Furthermore, the act of replying to that post will have bumped it right back to the top for everyone to see.
I agree with this. We are much missing these forums with civil replies and clouded behind "influencer" culture, which is optimized for incentives. Pure discussions as in this example are such a stalwarts of open web.
On the other hand, small websites and forums can disappear but that openness allows platform like archive.org to capture and "fossilize" them.
These forums still exist. Typically with much older and mature discussions, as the users have aged alongside the forums. Nothing is stopping you from joining them now.
My Something Awful forums account is over 25 years old at this point. The software and standards and moderation style is approximately unchanged, complete with 10 dollar sign-up fee to keep out the spam.
That's why I like HN, it seems to happen a lot here! Mention a piece of hardware or software, even something obscure from years ago, and half an hour later you've had an answer to your question from the designer or the CEO.
Me too. I'm just afraid that it's because there are shrinking pools of rationality on the internet. They're here for the same reason you are; HN doesn't suck nearly as much as the alternatives.
Pretty high on the RPF, actually! Especially in the early days, a lot of film, prop, and design industry professionals would congregate there and exchange information or big shop folklore. It was a pretty cool place (not saying it hasn't continued to be one, but I haven't been a regular in probably 20 years).
"iPhone" was an Infogear, later Cisco, trademark, for the InfoGear iPhone (1997--2000 / InfoGear, Cisco/Linksys 2006--2007), which was licenced to Apple.
I was at Cisco when the Apple iPhone was announced. It was rumored to be happening, so Cisco rushed out a Linksys VoIP(?) phone rebranded (it might have just been a sticker) as an "iPhone" so they could defend the trademark. They quickly reached an agreement with Apple. I remember they might have been getting their VPN included on the device. I'm sure there was a similar issue with iOS, and that caused me to get a lot of not-so-relevant emails from recruiters looking for mobile devs.
The weirder phone that they had was the ROKR in 2005. It was a collaboration with Apple and worked with iTunes. People say that it helped Apple get in the phone business, and helped Motorola become even more irrelevant in that space around this time.
Before that, author was banned for 1 month by the PMos team :
After a short introduction I was told that the reason for the call was:
1.I used the wrong pronouns.
2.The COVID thing.
3.I promoted AI within the postmarketOS channels.
Looks like the service is still up.
EDIT: They also offer a service to ssh into various vintage systems, which is cool : https://sdf.org/?ssh
