    Bitbucket. WTF, they killed it almost 5 months ago!?

    Ah well, here are some of your options. Didn't knew SourceForge had Mercurial, but then, who uses SF these days? All the kool kids left that dumpster fire when the ads (and continuous ownership changes, each new owner being worse than the prior one) rotted its foundations :/

    Seems like there are some license restrictions on some of those sites, but copying the WTFPL into a repo isn't an issue so that works. Thank you.

    Seamonkey. Aside of PM, it's the last browser with a SANE, non-braindamaged UI still standing, and it's still straight Gecko under the hood.

    There is Waterfox, if you can stand the Asstralis disaster and still want compatibility with XUL addons.
    Lynx/Elinks are still kicking alive, it seems, same for Dillo, but forget about the perks of the modern web.

    Unfortunately most modern webshit only caters to Chrome and its clones, so half the Internet will look broken on our "obscure" browsers :/
    Case in point: GitHub, which despite being the host for many of those obscure browsers sources, don't care at all for anything that isn't Blink or recent Firefox :/

    Is Seamonkey old Firefox and Friends, but maintained? It doesn't follow the new Firefox releases and rejigger some shit?

    What about Waterfox?

    Seamonkey is Mozilla, tke product Firefox is forked from. It mostly still uses the Mozilla interface, which is mostly the Netscape 4 interface. They are very conservative in what shit gets rejiggered.

    UXTARDS ALERT: VLC 4.0 is fully embracing The Cellphone Way™, even on desktop ("Mooooooom, what's a file?!").

    VLC is officially FUBAR if this shit comes to fruition as-is (the current version for cellphones, on which 4.0 for desktop is being modeled, is so broken that as soon as I figure out how to tell F-Droid to ignore further updates to VLC, I'll pretend it has been abandoned upstream just like Firefox/Fennec). And since this is how software is done nowadays... guess I'll need to git gud with mpv :/

    God damn it, is there any sanity left in software/UI design these days!?

    ...nope. That's why we got COVID-19, I guess.

    I look at the comments and I am in awe at how many people basically agree with you, and in emphasized awe at how many hundreds of upvotes those people's comments get.

    Dear VLC, I too wish WinFS had taken hold of the market, and that all OS had a similar relational DB replace the filesystem. But, that didn't happen, and at this point never will. Please don't ignore reality. Filesystem navigation always needs to be a top priority, even if you're trying to support tagged media equally as well. Don't ignore the fact that 99% of media of isn't tagged.

      This does not actually go there and I regret nothing.
