On: Tmux has left SourceForge

[k_bx]

Why? I just subscribed to all messages and use it as any other mailing list – in my email.

google tries very hard to leave the impression that you must have a gmail/google/google+ (not sure, haven't had the misfortune of doing this for some time) account to subscribe.

You can subscribe via email without any google account by sending a message to <groupname>+subscribe @ googlegroups.com, then it acts just like any other mailing list.

This[1] also used to work, but it's been a while since I've used it. Basically just hits this url:

  http://groups.google.com/group/%(groupname)s/boxsubscribe?email=%(email)s

I don't see a problem here, you can just get a gmail account and read mail however you like still, configuring mail client of choice.

UPDATE: wow, didn't know you can't even read messages without being google-user. Yeah, that's boorish a bit.

UPDATE2: turned out that's not true. You can read google group perfectly fine without signing in: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tmux-users

Assuming there are only 2 threads, Otherwise, that only shows the public threads.

Yeah, as I understand they just moved from Sourceforge, since signed-in, I also see just 2 threads.

so you were misled and confused by google into thinking you need a google account, if only for a while. they try hard to manipulate people. do you see the problem now? yes, you can fight the stream of lies and misdirections, or you can say "thanks, but no, thanks".
