I really wish more people would implement cookie notices like theirs. I really like the one that https://www.bosch.us/ uses too.

Are there really people who appreciate these redundant notices? Do you need a notice that a website uses TCP/IP too?

I find these GDPR notices useful. Obviously every website use cookies, but it's nice to know what these cookies actually do. I've already encountered a few news websites listing 100+ advertising/targeting companies whose cookies they use. That was quite eye-opening. I also appreciate all the GDPR emails that landed in my email box recently. I've replied to about every second of them asking for my account/data to be erased.

> "You don't use github just for git." Well, some people do. I don't, apparently you don't, probably most people don't. But you could and some people do. I've seen a few projects on github with notes to the effect of "don't bother submitting issues/PRs here, do it through our [mailing list/etc]"

The Linux kernel for example.

Or Git itself

Was Github ruled out because it's not free enough in spirit or are the Gnome folks just wanting to run things on-prem?

Probably because Github is a closed-source company that can remove you, your repo, or your group at any time, for any reason. Committing to a hosted service is a bad idea (see: Sourceforge). That sort of thing isn't acceptable to a project like Gnome.

Just curious, has this ever happened? Were there any cases where github removed someone's repo?

And, with a whiff of irony, git itself.

Now it's time for them to move to Node. They currently use the JS engine from Firefox 45 (over 2 years old) and are looking to move to 52 (almost 15 months old). Let's not forget that the update before that was from FF25 which was from 2013. It's past time to port your stuff to N-API and actually allow devs to have access to standard dev tools using standard dev practices. It would be a great change for Gnome devs to…

That'd mean even more of the world relying on a monopolist of ecosystem of V8/Blink. V8/Blink already runs 70% of browsers and a massive amount of software, don't you think at some point it's enough with giving Google control over everything?

You can use Edge's engine ChakraCore with Node as well.

Yes, WebMConverter. However, I gather the employee responsible is no longer with them.

It's not the notice itself, because that's required by law. It's the fact that it actually gives you information and control beyond "we use cookies, if you don't like it, leave".
