The admin of the popular NotePad++ text editor announced [June 15] that the project would leave SourceForge
[...] The project will use Github as the development hub for Notepad++ exclusively.
[...] tmux, nmap, [and] VLC for instance [are also trying] to get Sourceforge to remove [their] projects from the site
In the comments, Oxa June notes that Pale Moon is looking to move away.

It's not too surprising as the issues with SourceForge were news to me. I had been using it off and on for a long time. It's kind of sad to see it being destroyed. Even, if they backtrack. What's stopping them from doing the same thing again? Nothing. I could deal with the advertisements, so long as they weren't too obtrusive. When you start tacking on crap to my download, it's time to move on, and never, ever, ever, ever, deal with the organization again. There has been a consistent theme of corporations screwing their customer base in recent years. Kind of hard to find a Non-Evil Corporation these days. You used to be able to at somewhat trust them to just be incompetent as opposed to outright evil.

That would work too, if the next word was on instead of to.

What the next word is doesn't change what I first misread it to say.
