    @seldo Maybe it's the effect of the tool never used that looks like the solution to all problem and if people were force to use github to manage their projects they'd protest just as well?

  • kevinswiber Kevin Swiber (@kevinswiber) reported

    @SchauDustin @GatsbyJS My use case is fairly basic, but I'll let you know! I did have a lot of trouble connecting my GitHub repo and actually came back to it a few days later because of that. It was a "quota exceeded" error of some kind. I should have screenshotted it!

  • pandamakes panda (@pandamakes) reported

    @choldgraf @github I believe the automation workflow (still not yet generally available) maybe able to automatically add a pr if/when it references an issue on the board? Otherwise a GitHub action should be able to do it.

  • JMObiefuna Johnmark (@JMObiefuna) reported

    @MikeWamungu @JoshuaOgundu A github profile with well written code and repos doesn't point to the race or colour of the owner of such code. What's terrible about that take or you're just hunting for gotchas?

  • AllieTheIcon Allie The Icon Laabs (@AllieTheIcon) reported

    I sat down to really play with GitHub Copilot for the first time and... this very well may be the golden key to hobby programming. I am ridiculously excited about its potential. As a hobby programmer I often go several months without looking at code. (1/)

  • topapate jotego (@topapate) reported

    The beta files are in all these places: -E-mail from Patreon -Patreon posts -#betafiles channel in Discord server -update_all script -jtbeta private repository for Github supporters -JTBIN public repository -jtcores_mister repository

  • guincodes Guinevere Saenger (@guincodes) reported

    My new hobby: replying with a 👎🏻 to any github comment that amounts to "Just use the correct thing" on a bug. Extra points if it's by a project owner who then closes the issue. Additional extra points if it's for something a lot of people are confused by.

  • notdan uɐpʇou@ ✸ (@notdan) reported

    @Pic0o Right? I know a ******* *TON* of people that casually rely on uBlock to protect their Chrome browsers from IP leaks, and then this gets removed because of some really terrible analysis from dude in a github thread. Trust But Verify, I guess. #layers

  • MelP81970224 Mel P (@MelP81970224) reported

    @SuperWhitten @MaxPrimeXRP @XummWallet You can swap for USD GitHub or USD bithomp in XUMM wallet and soon they will issue their own stable coin AUR if I’m not mistaken.

  • xanderladd xander brain (@xanderladd) reported

    @TMoldwin @claytonsbingham I'll fix it! Do you mind sending me the error you're bumping against? dm is good, github issue is better. Thx in advance :)

  • Magolor44 Magolor 🏳️‍🌈 (@Magolor44) reported

    @gamingonlinux It's really great even though submitting an issue on github is literally the worst experience you can have.

  • choldgraf Chris Holdgraf (@choldgraf) reported

    @jezdez @github But then you've gotta click through to the issue first before you then get the PR link right?

  • louisssdev CosmicLouis💫 :)  (@louisssdev) reported

    @alexhorner2002 @ULA_FTS_Team That's not my project, even though the name is the same, but I might release it on GitHub someday in the future. As of now, there are still too many security issues. ;)

  • goobemaster Gabor Major 🇭🇺 🇪🇺 (@goobemaster) reported

    @dralmaember @_BOB3_ Let's be fair, GitHub is not bad. Its useful even. But its definitely not for everyone, and its not the only route for an open source project. Especially, if someone is like you, who examines problems from different angles - like the legal side of things...

  • jezdez Jannis Leidel (@jezdez) reported

    @choldgraf @github Mostly issues only since PRs are referenced in issue details (in project board on right side) when they are referenced in PR descriptions

  • fasterthanlime fasterthanlime 🌌 (@fasterthanlime) reported

    @dylnuge @danluu I have a family to house and feed - patreon is not my primary income, my day job is. Also companies typically can't donate through Patreon/GitHub sponsors because legal stuff. OpenCollective is trying to address those issues, but no clear answer yet.

  • StewOConnor s2w - #BLM (@StewOConnor) reported

    @deusaquilus but make no mistake, in this github issue he filed, He is very clearly trying to defend slavery that follows the "Gorean" trope where woman deserved to be enslaved and wants to make sure that conferences allow this

  • theDiverDK Søren Reinke (@theDiverDK) reported

    @jetbrains @pycharm @github In Pycharm for OSX why do I have to login every few hours. It makes the Github CoPilot pretty annoying to use :( #GitHubCopilot

  • sleepymoonfan marin (@sleepymoonfan) reported

    im gonna start writing all my github issues like emails

  • llogiq ʟʟoɢiq 🦀 (@llogiq) reported

    @github Let's not oversell Rust. While it can guarantee memory safety, those guarantee relies on the correctness of compiler, standard library and unsafe code in dependencies. Good thing is while we had unsoundness issues in the past (and likely will continue to find them), there is...

  • AverageBotFan Piero Bot ⁖ (@AverageBotFan) reported

    .GrifyDev .replit is an old issue on Github from 2004 2. the law????

  • beala_ebooks beala_ebooks 🤖 (@beala_ebooks) reported

    The problem with Github in China.

  • myogeshchavan97 Yogesh Chavan (@myogeshchavan97) reported

    This is not an issue with the create-react-app but all of the source code is added because of the source map which helps to easily identify the source of the bug that will occur on the live site in the future. This is fine If the website source code is available on GitHub.

  • MarisaBrantley Marisa Brantley 🌴 (@MarisaBrantley) reported

    @samdigsin Sometimes GitHub pages can be a little slow. I've learned this after a few freakouts. Hope it worked out! 👍

  • deandog1234 Kodi Dog (@deandog1234) reported

    @troypoint Troy, it appears that if the file is hosted on github Downloader has an issue with it. SmartTubeNext has same issue when trying to get it using Downloader. Developer for Unlinked moved it to a different hosting site.

  • choldgraf Chris Holdgraf (@choldgraf) reported

    People that use the new @github projects - do you add Issues or PRs to projects? What if there's an issue on the board, and somebody opens a PR to address it? Do you add the PR as well? Add a link to it in the issue?

  • notdan uɐpʇou@ ✸ (@notdan) reported

    @RealityAbsorber @gigafelon I suspect it was causing problems/headaches for the developers as well as a lack of understanding about the implications of not blocking WebRTC properly. After the exchange I just had with them in the issue on Github, I'm over the extension. Byebye.

  • krcourville Ken Courville (@krcourville) reported

    @colinarms @github It does get you thinking. What if get() crashes? Should you throw a custom error?

  • ibrahimab22 Ibrahim (@ibrahimab22) reported

    .@github please stop copilot, created a basic blog app in python's flask (specifically used flask, because I truly hate python) with login, signup, posts, comments in under an hour using just comments to describe everything and no code. I like my job and you're making it obsolete
