Euphoria is one of my favorite shows, and this guy was one of my favorite characters. Highly recommend it.

This looks cool but $16/month is a steep price.
The Gitlab UI is insanely bad, are any of the alternatives listed in this post any better?
I think competitors had a chance before GitHub released GitHub Actions, unlimited free private repos, and the recently improved search, but at this point I feel like we're unfortunately stuck with a monopoly.
How does this compare to Twitter?
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
I get where you're coming from, but the reason I like it so much is it addresses so many issues I've had to deal with, or know people who've had to deal with them. The way the main character describes depression and anxiety, the way they keep trying to be better but ultimately repeat the same mistakes when things get bad, it makes me feel like someone finally understands what I'm going through, which is comforting. There are a ton of other heavy topics addressed, like drug abuse, anger management, gender identity, sexual orientation, and more, and I felt like it was done in a really good and non-judgemental way, where it wasn't like the writers were trying to tell you some "moral of the story" but instead just acknowledging these are real world problems and that life is really hard.
