The Trench (@TrenchCoatArt) reported@_jvn_e @DiscountDed_Fox @catgirlprostate In my experience the problem comes from it being different every time sometimes a project has no releases on GitHub and the link is outdated so it sends you to a 404 sometimes it redirects you to a different hosting site sometimes its under releases, thats whats frustrating to me

Joey Romaine 🇺🇸 |=★=| (@Tank23x0) reportedarXiv AI Security: ReproRepo: Scaling Reproducibility Audits with GitHub Repository Issues Treat agent tools like a control plane: least privilege, auditable calls, and fast rollback.
-
Bajortski (@Bajortski) reported@aubymori the problem is the big green "Code" button that directs you to download a zip of the repo instead of a release because if you don't know what github is and you're told to use a tool that distributes from there you probably don't know the difference between source and compiled

Duncan Rogoff (@DuncanRogoff) reported"passionate about helping businesses grow" is why nobody follows you. that line, or something exactly like it, is in half the bios i read. so i built a free Claude Code skill that refuses to write it. it's called bio-writer. you type /bio-writer and it writes your profile bio for every platform at the right length, built from what you actually do and one real thing you've done. what comes back: - Instagram bio at 150 characters, 3 lines maximum, no hashtags, no emoji - LinkedIn headline at 220 characters, plus a full About section of 4 to 6 short paragraphs - X bio at 160 characters, no links, no hashtags - a one-liner under 15 words for your link-in-bio or email signature - character counts stated next to each one, all saved to ~/brand/bio.md the part that makes it different from asking a chatbot for a bio: it checks your angle before it writes anything. if what you do could describe fifty other people in your niche, or your audience is "everyone", it stops and tells you the bio isn't the problem, the angle is. a well-written bio for a mushy angle is still a bad bio. it also won't fake your proof. never invent a number, a client count, or a revenue figure. if you're early and have no results yet, it uses your current build instead, "building X in public", which is honest and still works. so you stop rewriting the same vague sentence five different ways across five platforms, and the right person knows in two seconds whether to stay. setup is one line: copy the bio-writer folder into your Claude Code skills directory, restart, type /bio-writer. run /personalize once first so it knows your niche, offer, and audience. free, and it's yours. a bio has two seconds to do one job. this one actually does it. 👉 github repo in the replies

Phil | Rentier Digital Automation (@rentierdigital) reportedyour AI agent just burned your entire CI/CD budget on a semicolon i watched a solo dev's GitHub Actions bill hit 1710 minutes in july. the culprit? not a runaway test suite, not a memory leak. a comma in a markdown file cost the same compute as rewriting the entire distributor pipeline. same 5-minute run, same bill, every single time here's the thing though. 61% of those minutes were spent proving the same code twice. task branch tests it, integration retests it, main retests it again a few minutes later. three sequential runs on nearly identical trees. the pipeline is fail-closed by design—nothing ships until CI is green—so when GitHub cut him off mid-migration week, the whole thing just stopped. four branches sitting there, finished, tested locally, completely unmergeable he rebuilt the entire setup on self-hosted runners in a day. spent a full working day to recreate for free what was already free but here's what nobody asked him: who decides a change deserves to be verified? if it's not the developer and it's not the agent then what's actually making the call? i build and ship daily. Claude Code, Codex, whatever ships fastest. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, i've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

Danns (@dannwaneri) reported@github Great. Now fix the search.

meatball (@24meebo) reportedill never understand this issue cuz if the only way to obtain whatever youre trying to use is through github chances are you wont be able to understand it either

Polsia (@polsia) reportedSoftware shouldn't wait for you to notice it broke. Built Eyrie — an overnight agent that watches your GitHub repos, catches failing CI, new CVEs, stale PRs, and opens draft fix PRs before you wake. One briefing. By breakfast.

compsci trianon (@zoomerbread) reported@aubymori >try opening an issue thats an optimistic ask for someone using "github for dummies"

eriktheviking.bsky.social (@ErikIsViking) reportedProbably the first hundred times I attempted to use GitHub Inj ust assumed that what I was looking at couldn't be downloaded and I needed to have some kind of special access or premium account. I literally had to become a programmer before I learned. ****'s busted, needs a fix

Hassan K (@hkhawaja) reported@idebpalash @artic_ai Tried Opal on Windows but it didn't load any video. Left a note on the Issues list on github with logs screenshot. I'd love to get it working.

NewWorldHODL (@NewWorldHODL) reported@simonw Can they hack my GitHub and fix the bugs Claude Code delivered in my navel gazing app?
-
Stack-Tech (@StackTech) reported@thsottiaux Figure out why codex-auto-review is eating 30% of my usage while it's not even enabled! I've disconnected my github account for now as I can't trust it. If I look at the Code Review analytics it says 0 PRs, 0 Comments, 0 Issues Found, "no usage data" but it shows as using 30% !!!
-
restricted account (@verbose5432) reported@SolarParadox__ @OsSpoon38285 @AnimeSerbia yes but that's a separate issue they want the thing but they don't want the process of obtaining it. They don't care about learning more about github, programming or even tech. They want to achieve their own goals and achieve them as painlessly as possible

Ian (@IanMitchel1) reported@linear In "Code & reviews", clicking "Enable code access" sends me to a 404 page on GitHub. Not sure if it's an outage or persistent issue, but was hoping you might know of a workaround

Easy_weezy (@Easy__Weezy) reportedHappy Friday Guys, its morning and here i am trying to fork Vurie Buddy on @CNPYNetwork As i ran into this error as i would need to make some clones on Github and then be able to load it on Canopy, lets see how it goes? As canopy gives us the ability to be able to build our own sovereign chains as well as monetize on their testnet. It is no wonder it is getting all the tractions at the moment. Have you invested in any project yet?
-
TotalWorld (@TotalWorldApps) reported@cas_abbe makes sense. my routine is similar - scan $TON prices, check open issues on github for my app, look at user metrics.
-
Mr Momoh - Brother Ridgeback 🦁 (@tonylab_net) reportedReviewing a GitHub PR shouldn't mean copy-pasting the diff into a chat window. So I built this: hit ⌘⇧K on any PR, file, or issue and Kimi K3 reviews, explains, or summarises it — right there, streamed into a side panel. Free. Open source. Bring your own key.
-
isaac ✌️ (@Amrak101) reported@varun_mathur Yeah unfortunately with Opus 5 gotta keep GitHub pushes updated, it's so smart it's dumb comes out. Apologizes when it does a refactor instead of a simpler fix I ask for.
-
Sage (@HelloSage_) reported@TheHackersNews Shadow AI is one risk. The other is what happens when those agents process untrusted GitHub issues. A new benchmark had 66.5% of malicious ones sail through the guardrails on Cursor, Claude Code and Codex.
-
TheoryOfNearlyEverything (@OverThePlaces) reported@martinez0x69 @Lean you cant, i wrote a book on amazon, did publishing on @zenodo, but they killed all my stuff, you can mainly find my papers her on x, these are googlespace links & i have 2 repositories on github, if you have problems to get my papers let me know, some people send me asking links
-
ִֶָ (@hav9n) reportedClaude Code forgets everything between sessions. I built a fix and put it on GitHub. It reads the notes, project folders, and memory files you already have, and turns them into an Obsidian vault your AI uses as long term memory. Not a template. It runs once, then you delete it. Full walkthrough below.

e_camli (@ekinoks_26) reportedQuip's GitHub organization is running two different blockchains under the same name. One repo is a Python node built on custom QUIC peer to peer networking. Another is a Rust implementation forked straight from the Polkadot SDK's Substrate framework. The Python version is where the actual mining logic lives right now, block signing through ECDSA plus WOTS+, difficulty tuned by an energy and diversity score instead of a simple hash target, the Ising model proof of work running on top of it. The Substrate fork looks more like a hedge, a battle tested consensus and networking layer sitting in reserve in case the custom stack does not scale the way the team expects once mainnet traffic actually shows up. I do not think running two chains in parallel is a red flag by itself, plenty of serious infrastructure teams prototype twice before committing once. What I am less sure about is which one @QuipNetwork actually intends to ship for the token generation event, since the public docs do not say, and migrating live validators from one consensus engine to another after launch is a much harder problem than picking correctly on day one. Somebody at Postquant Labs already knows which chain wins. The GitHub commit history has not decided yet.

✦︎ Expilon ✦︎ (@spikeisms) reported@TribunalSimp @libanan__2 @AnimeSerbia well yeah thats the issue with using github as your main source for hosting downloads. it's programmer and engineer centric so the code aspects are highlighted over user download. the issue falls on devs not using their FREE website hosting to make a friendly download
-
Gro-Tsen (@gro_tsen) reportedThe way the SSH protocol works is that if the server is unhappy with a client authentication method inquiry, it should reject it with SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_FAILURE so the client can try the next one. Here, GitHub sends SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT merely because my client “knows” an old key! 🖕

Lukas Hermann (@_lhermann) reported@DmytroKrasun How do you sponsor? Github? OpenCollective? I did though GitHub for a while but they don't issue invoices which was quite a headache for me.
-
Tzard Nickolas The Lit Romanov (@TheGreatRomanov) reported@skavenslave I'd also add Discord ontop of that too here. *WAY* too many authors/devs require users to download the mod (or whatever Said X thing here is) from their gay little invite-only servers as the only source to obtain it (or will use the server to link, to GitHub).
