I think mouse users don't generally suffer from this problem: by default, MacOS always shows a scrollbar in all contexts if you have a mouse plugged in to your computer.

This is not accurate. You can report bugs, etc., on the community forum here, which has open registration: https://discourse.phabricator-community.org/

I mean that GitHub does not "try", in the sense of looking at the interdiff, doing fuzzy matching, trying to identify line-by-line similarity, etc. It places comments only if the h…

GitHub's implementation does not do what you claim it does. GitHub has no behavior around porting and placing comments (while Phabricator does), GitHub just hides anything it can't…

In particular, see https://secure.phabricator.com/T7447#112231 > for a specific example which I believe GitHub's implementation gets egregiously wrong, by silently discarding an in…

This is not (and has never been) the behavior of Phabricator. See https://secure.phabricator.com/T7447 > for discussion of why this feature can never work the way you think it shou…

Open source projects generally want an exact feature-for-feature copy of GitHub that looks and works exactly like GitHub, except open source. If Phabricator was this, there would b…

Facebook has not provided any contributions or material support to the open source version of Phabricator since around 2012.

In my view, refocusing the roadmap on only requests from paying customers was possibly the best change I've made for the health and longevity of the project.

Can you point me at any data which supports this? It seems like it should be true, but GHC didn't appear to see a year-over-year increase to contributors when they switched from Ph…

Do you have data to support this claim? For example, GHC moved from Phabricator to GitLab in December 2018, citing ease of contribution as a major benefit: https://twitter.com/bgam…

Why do you believe Phabricator is practically abandoned?

Interesting! This isn't how I remember things at all. Do you know where you got this sense of things from, specifically? In particular, do you remember what gave you the impression…

Here's the answer to that question, from the second paragraph of the linked article: > Facebook officials said they bought the masks for their offices’ emergency disaster kits foll…

I found this article on this topic from a lawfirm specializing in entertainment law interesting: https://rodriqueslaw.com/blog/how-use-brands-and-products-fi... It references some …

The title claim is untrue and trivially falsifiable, but I haven't seen any articles that have actually made an effort to verify it. Here are screens from two recent movies where v…

"Merman" was an internal project codename, not an individual user. I think it was a very early version of the feature that eventually became "Pages".

I can't speak beyond 2011, but in the early part of the last decade you're giving Facebook far too much credit. Facebook went down for most of a day in ~2009 because a new hire mis…

Here's how to actually "solve" this problem on an iPhone: - Pay $1.99 to buy a silent ringtone from the ringtone store. - Make that your default ringtone. - Give everyone who you w…

I've contributed some code to Phabricator, happy to answer any questions about why that code is so bad. Phabricator is primarily aimed at teams with multiple approximately-full-tim…

We've been working hard to remove features, introduce bugs, and decrease quality throughout the year.
