  • voxpelli Pelle Wessman (@voxpelli) reported

    @datassette Or do what eg GitHub does: Scrap all non-essential cookies, keeping only those essential for the web page to work, like the login-cookie, then no cookie banner is needed.

  • nialearnstocode Nia (@nialearnstocode) reported

    Finally! I spent an insane amount of time trying to push to github but I figured it out. So much of this is just knowing how to Google your problems. #CodeNewbie

  • maleve Matti Aleve (@maleve) reported

    I had seen a few people tweet about Chrome plug-in Block Chain, gave that a try it has some issues as it hits Twitter api rate limits. In the GitHub project people referenced Red Block seems to work better. Don’t worry about info page, plug-in is in English once installed.

  • jedisct1 Frank 🦎 (@jedisct1) reported

    @TechnoEmpress Different take: if your business depends on a critical 3rd party component, open source or not, you should have a support contract for it. Volunteers working on their own projects have no responsibility wrt. your projects. Answering GitHub issues is already very time consuming.

  • libretro libretro (@libretro) reported

    @androtaz08 @YouTube Can you tell us what issue you are referring to? Is there a Github issue dedicated to this?

  • thePagdot pagdot (@thePagdot) reported

    The issue with STRG+S producing a misnamed HTML file is more an issue of Github and/or your browser and not directly related to Linux. For Linux Newbies, I'd recommend Video tutorials over text based ones, because It is easier to introduce someone to this concepts this way

  • josephmcasey Joseph Michael Casey (@josephmcasey) reported

    @unclebobmartin That good and all, but have you ever tried leaving a 👍 emoji on a GitHub Issue that asks maintainers for a new feature.

  • Fil_Bot3 Phil Dudley (@Fil_Bot3) reported

    @usebottles Spoke too soon. Now I'm running into null byte issues when the app doesn't launch from the programs menu. It launches when re-installed, but I'll open an issue on GitHub with logs about the other installation.

  • Buck_Coin CryptoMurphy (@Buck_Coin) reported

    For the sake of saving #DigiByte, should @jaredctate give up the login details for github to another person/party/foundation in order to fully decentralize, and truly step away from the project? $DGB

  • david43ni david (@david43ni) reported

    Been trying to contribute to Microsoft #maui but the main build is so broken that it can only be build thru github run command why is wanting to contributes this hard it shouldn’t be

  • Jordanc8669 Jordan Michael Comer (@Jordanc8669) reported

    He said @github had an error updating his source too.

  • RegLFrancis Reg francis (@RegLFrancis) reported

    @BhosalePratim Just to go a bit further. GitHub and GitLab both have an on premises option as opposed to Bitbucket which has gone cloud only. There is also Azure DevOps Service or Server which uses *** (distributed) by default as opposed to TFVC (centralized).

  • GKountourides Gabriella Kountourides (Κουντουριδου) (@GKountourides) reported

    @RR_Oxford #OxBer2021 has already changed how I work! Now every time I work on my script I use @github to keep track of changes, and after I accidentally deleted a whole chunk last week, it was a piece of cake to fix!!

  • Kiview Kevin Wittek (@Kiview) reported

    @posth And how to you define broken or kaputt in this case? Seems to work pretty decent for millions of users and scales excellently. E.g. GoogleDocs or GMail are even preferred over its desktop counter parts. GitHub Codespaces shows how much more potential there is.

  • lawouach Sylvain Hellegouarch (@lawouach) reported

    @algo_luca @github Tbh @github notifications have never worked. They draw you away from context. They should be contextualized. I want to know about issues notifications on a repo when I visualize said repo.

  • sinclairinat0r Jeremy Sinclair (@sinclairinat0r) reported

    @axelander_s I don't use cellular network, but I'd say the best thing to do for this is to go to the WSL Github repo and file an issue. Cc: @craigaloewen

  • georgiiie_ Georgie O’Brien (@georgiiie_) reported

    A few bytes of the request sent to said server triggers a significantly larger response against the targeted IP address. The attackers of GitHub amplified their attack by a magnitute of 50,000x, perhaps the largest attack recorded. (9/12)

  • aleerin17 Alistair1231 (@aleerin17) reported

    @trakt I would love to see an interface for that on the website! However I did fix it and you were right. Just deleting all apps worked. My suspicion is that the Jellyfin integration caused it, since they also have an open issue from 2020 with the same problem on Github.

  • Metamensa Metamaniac (Table) (@Metamensa) reported

    *technically* I released this 2 days ago, but there were 2 issues that needed hotfixing before I could go public with this confidently also github REALLY didn't want to embed the header image when I linked directly to the release, so y'all are just getting the releases page

  • romlytech Mike Roberts (@romlytech) reported

    @jsjoeio @github This has been an ongoing problem for me on iOS - I seemed to stop about a week ago. I have no idea why it started, or why it stopped. I did notice a trend that it seemed to happen more on repos that had been renamed?

  • theBlackkSky 🦌 (@theBlackkSky) reported

    @hashnode Hi, I'm trying to use my @github account to sign up & login, however, after authorisation when I am redirected to your site, it doesn't show I'm logged in. I still see same Login/SIgn Up screen. Can you help?

  • MaxTagher Max Tagher (@MaxTagher) reported

    @arachnocapital2 Does GitHub’s slack integration tell you about errors? Not sure if it can but could be a nice workflow rather than polling

  • sgharms Steven G. Harms (@sgharms) reported

    @JoniTrythall I really love(d) your svgpocketguide. Is it down for maintenance or down forever? I looked at the github source, but it appears to be images only. May we expect a return, or must I find a new favorite SVG reference site?

  • ctoabidmaqbool Abid Maqbool (@ctoabidmaqbool) reported

    @AbrahamOwos @programmerjoke9 Yeah! Without asking questions not even professional dev can move forwards. Searching to do solve problems is all about questioning on developers media platforms e.g.stackoverfloe & github.

  • Zk47218036 Zk (@Zk47218036) reported

    2/n I ignored the glaring spelling error on the github guide (the team didn't fix it after they were told). I ignored the fact that the APY was too good to be true. I also ignored the weird ads displayed on the dex I was told to buy $SAT from.

  • lixingguang lixingguang (@lixingguang) reported

    anyone know this? Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub: HTTP error 403. API rate limit exceeded for 91.240.163.66. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)

  • claytoncollie claytoncollie.eth (@claytoncollie) reported

    @web3wp Look at a project like Gutenberg. Thousands of GitHub issue but only a few people truly contribute. Incentive to patch issues would leverage people to get involved.

  • pkbullock Paul Bullock | MVP (@pkbullock) reported

    @onenote @github the apps don't like copying text/links into comments on GitHub - it pastes as images. Is there a way to fix that super annoying? Have to go via notepad.

  • jbfriedrich Jason Friedrich (@jbfriedrich) reported

    Very painful that I had to go through a huge *** Github issue comment thread to find out if @joinmastodon has (limited) post formatting options. Thought about using it for micro blogging, but without at least some formatting, I dont think I will. Some feature matrix would be nice
