Sourceforge not playing ball with add blocker - move C::B?
« on: April 15, 2025, 12:10:11 pm »
Just tried to access C::B on source forge and it looks like it has implemented a new "feature" to make me turn on adds that I hate.

Maybee someone should look if it is possible to move off sourceforge to github.

Then I suggest moving to Codeberg since GitHub is known to abuse user's rights and train their Copilot AI on public user data without proper attribution and that breaks the GPL.

You can also add an add blocker extension in your browser. For me, it's OK with Adblock plus in firefox.

Windows 11 64 bits (24H2), svn C::B (last version or almost!), wxWidgets 3.2.6 (tests with 3.3), Msys2 Compilers 14.2.0, 64 bits (seh, posix : gcc, g++ and gfortran in C:\msys64\mingw64) or 32 bits (dwarf2, posix  in C:\msys64\mingw32).

If all you need is to clone C::B code, you can use my github mirror
https://github.com/arnholm/codeblocks_sfmirror

Btw I agree 100% with this
