    How on earth did you miss that? It was in the news for years, the biggest buyout with 69 BILLION dollars. It’s actually Activision-Blizzard-King, King being the company responsible for mobile game hits like Candy Crush (that’s why its in your start menu).

  I like Codeberg, but I don’t think they would allow a project of this size, especially given the liability.

    Idea: we use torrents and go back to emailing eachother .patch files.

      And still use git, tho? Cuz that’s kind of the whole point of these sites.

        Could use git, sure. Would make it easier to merge longer tailed sets of changes for sure, though maybe harder to pass around anonymously, assuming you’re taking about repositories.
