There's more to this - Wikiless was an unmodified passthrough proxy that iirc just unloaded a bunch of regular mediawiki JS because the author thought it constituted a privacy violation/they were afraid that for some reason the WMF was tracking them for malicious purposes[0]. On its own, not harmful. That being said, it ran afoul of the WMFs trademarks and was actively confusing people with regular Mediawiki, which i…

I rely on Wikiless for making wikipedia accessible to me. It is not even about privacy, just being able to use the site without obstructions. The whole project has been broken ever since.

Is this about the skin? If so can use the old skin (Vector 2010) if you create an account/append ?useskin=vector to the end of your URL; if not, I'm curious to hear more.

I really don't like how when you are viewing a repo. That the giant codeberg footer still is shown. This makes the distinction between repo and website confusing. Could the footer be removed when viewing repos? Or at minimum at least made to a tiny one liner or something.

Are you being sarcastic? If not, GitHub recently updated their search feature and it's pretty good. https://github.com/search/advanced https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/github-code-search/...

I think it was more of a jab at GitHubs laughable search. Somehow, in 2023, GitHubs search is so fucking terrible it fails to find exact string matches in codebases.

You can put your search on "quotes" and it will look for an exact match. Github's search has improved a lot recently

GitLab's design at one point was just a copy and paste of GitHub's entire UI. Their URL design is heavily based on GitHubs. e.g. https://cdn0.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2014/06... / https://cdn0.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2014/06...

Interesting history. Seems they were influenced by both.

I'm not sure how that's your conclusion.
