You don't think there's any middle ground between the two? None whatsoever?

The humans of StackOverflow have been pricks for so long. If they fixed that problem years ago they would have been in a great position with the advent of AI. They could've marketed themselves as a site for humans. But no, fuckfacepoweruser found an answer to a different question he believes answers your question so marked your question as a duplicate and fuckfacerubberstamper voted to close it in the queue without critically thinking about it.

I haven't really dived deep on this but my gut feeling is because they linked to the erotic games. I looked into this a bit in the past, but I may be getting it mixed up with Google's policies on Docs now that I'm thinking of it, but maybe they have similar policies. The gist was that they weren't as concerned with hosting legal artistic erotic content as they were linking to it. Like they didn't want their platform to be used in a way to sort of advertise porn. I'm actually pretty sure I'm thinking of Google Docs though. I was looking for a way to publish erotic stories and considered GitHub Pages as well as Google Docs so it sort of blends together.

You can still have mirrors of your stuff on GitHub and push there, just have your primary forge be a different place.

In theory you could make a bot that stores all of those things within git periodically. Maybe do something with git notes https://git-scm.com/docs/git-notes

In my naive view I don't see why they wouldn't just give less and less money until they're effectively giving you none or even charging you for putting it back into the grid. It would then incenticize people to get battery banks and put it in during the night.

But again, naive view. Maybe I'm missing something obvious.

It doesn't have a direction.

I don't know anywhere you can actually sell it back to the network, usually they just give you credits that deduct future payments, so you can't ever get money out of it. But maybe that's only some places.

Has there been any console pair besides Gameboy and Gameboy color that had games released that would work on both but behave differently on each? Some carts were black and white, some worked only on GBC, but some (like most of all of the pokemon games) would still be black and white on the original but had unique color palettes on GBC.

Looks like the technical term is "Color-enhanced Game Boy Game Pak".

The color-enhanced Game Boy Game Pak (also known as class B, dual mode, or black cartridges) improved the gameplay experience on the Game Boy Color and subsequent systems while maintaining compatibility with older monochrome devices.

These cartridges can use the full color capabilities of the Game Boy Color and subsequent systems, displaying up to 56 colors simultaneously out of a palette of 32,768 while remaining compatible with the original Game Boy where they were presented in four shades of gray. However, this compatibility comes at the expense of not being able to utilize the handheld's increased processing speed and memory.

Compare that to GBA, which had GBA games but could also play Gameboy and Gameboy Color games. But there were no GBA games that could run on Gameboy or Gameboy Color. That weird middle ground might be why they count them together.

And they lied about it on the award application, but yes.
