At this point I'm very concerned about the open source industry relying so much on github. You have to remember that any project there can be swept away overnight because it doesn't fit into the agenca of a large company, for example.

In this age where PIs have been replaced with Facebook scrapers and lawyers have been replaced with ChatGPT, it can more easily be hidden -- especially if you use tools like Tor.

If you start the project intending to be untracable, yes.

Most software devs aren't thinking of that. These things with emulators often start as a hobby.

Sure, that's why you abandon it, make a public statement about closing shop (exactly like happens here) and then fork it under a new identity
