I mistakenly wrote lab. It seems it is hub. Mea culpa.

No, that does not happen because GitLab already has code to make sure your .ssh dir isn't uploaded. It doesn't check for the SQLite file. That is the whole point of the story / issue.

You answered your own question essentially. One commits this file by committing files that normally wouldn't be committed as part of the source code for a project.

IBM certainly did NOT fail in the PC market and while Apple is now closed they were as open as could be when they launched. Don't confuse 2021 with 1980.

The iPhone isn't a standard.

I've said everything there is to say to you. Once one understands that what I said is true they will logically conclude that entering into a debate with you is trying to teach a pig to sing. Off you go now ...

It is 2021 not 1980. Nobody questions the value of open anymore save Apple, who is the corner case that proves the rule. You can't use today's scenario to try to contradict a point made about what was true 50 years ago.

So they can't let someone else tell the truth before they poison the debate with the truth. It's pretty easy to see why you have the viewpoints you do and why you don't like the truth.

It had literally nothing to do with marketing. It was the open nature. Every company that failed to support open standards eventually failed in the PC market. DEC also eventually died by the same sword. They refused to be open. For example even when Ethernet evolved from DECnet DEC insisted on remaining proprietary and producing NICs that didn't play well with others. In the late 80s some bozos tied our PC LAN to the DECnet LAN without a bridge despite my warning that it would be disastrous and suddenly every attempt to log in to any of the 14 VAXs we had resulted in the same VAX responding. Nobody could get to the other 13 systems. Despite knowing that they had tied them together after I told them not to do it they still couldn't figure out why shit suddenly stopped working. To hide their incompetence they quickly blamed it on me and let me go. Good times.

You might not want to rely on a blog for your information. I assure you that you can gift money and it will not be taxable. I don't recall all of the details and it isn't important enough to me to do the workof proving it. Just accept the anecdotal evidence that I have indeed received such a gift and it was not taxable.

Without Apple Gates would have had much more freedom in his endeavors to sell complete garbage to the masses. Apple kept Gates in his place to a large degree. Keep in mind we are talking about the late seventies and early eighties here. There is almost no comparison of what Apple is today and what it was back then.

If you actually ever got any pussy yourself you wouldn't value as though getting more of it was an indication of success not than Woz's accomplishments. Most menI the world get laid. How many people directly affect the course of progress to the degree Woz has and remain highly respected by literally every informed human on the planet?

If you had any idea ego Woz actually is and what he it's about you would never mention him in the same sentence as Gates, Cook, etc.

The US government didn't agree. The Republicans, who stopped being "for the people" sometime well before the Trumpsterfire took office, did not agree with you on private but continued to claim they did in public out out fear of reprisal from their constituents.

An apology is exactly an admission of guilt. An apology without such an admission is called an empty apology, and with good reason.
