  • rsms Rasmus Andersson (@rsms) reported

    @_eandre @johnwilander Do you think this is what’s happening? Clearly it is not working as I (or GitHub or twitter) expect it to work. Question is, can it be fixed by GitHub and twitter or is Safari the culprit?

  • nemuritoare John Tetreault (@nemuritoare) reported

    @TGD_Consulting Honestly... I know you've invested a ton of time and knowledge into this...and I had no problem buying the software... But I'd really love to see it open sourced on GitHub.... Only reason being... If you get run over by a bus or something, it's dead too.

  • Hary86389970 Shreehari Vaasistha L (@Hary86389970) reported

    @MX_Linux In the KDE version of MX Linux my VS Code settings like sign in to GitHub keep getting reset every time i re-open it. It does not seem to happen with the XFCE version of MX Linux. Also, im waiting for my email verification in the forum for 2+ weeks. Any help here?

  • countchrisdo chris (@countchrisdo) reported

    @RobinUniverse_ Sucks we can't interact with discord bug request issue but I just thumbs up your og github issue on it

  • sebsilbermann Sebastian Silbermann (@sebsilbermann) reported

    TIL GitHub has a limit of 2500 comments per issue. Can't close the issue after that in the UI 🙃

  • workmad3 David Workman (@workmad3) reported

    @obermind @LemurZA @wesbos With ***, you have an entire copy of your entire repo on your machine, and can sync it wherever you want. GitHub is simply one place you can do so, and isn't ***. You don't even need a server, you can push directly to other developers copies of the repo if you have access.

  • godfreymeyer gm (@godfreymeyer) reported

    @StrawberrySith @decentraland @IRLart__ Builders are head down building, and usually have work. You can put your preposal up on snapshot, or make it public on github, and try posting the preposal here on CT, if it helps, but can we narrow down web3 forums of work for hire devs? discords? Devs are busy

  • adrianjordonez Adrian Ordonez (@adrianjordonez) reported

    @sebsilbermann Can you DoS a github issue then? 🤔

  • AmanAlam Aman Alam (@AmanAlam) reported

    @nazanin_ashrafi What are the build errors? I know some Jekyll themes dont play too well with Github Pages

  • unsound_musings Idea Unsound (@unsound_musings) reported

    @BiggBirde No I mean that you and I can, if we want, go to GitHub and verify what's happening behind the scenes of the smart contracts. And in the cases of companies not wanting to open source their IP, there are entire businesses developing solely to audit smart contracts for errors

  • glyph glyph (@glyph) reported

    @olmaverick @eevee I know, but I have a recent version of Windows 11 Insider Preview installed and I haven’t seen it. If I do see this I’ll be sure to look for github login and report back

  • greenteastain Eponine (@greenteastain) reported

    @bobposting You sent me spiffy’s discord which was how I got hrt in the first place!! I haven’t seen the github guide yet but I also started voice training cuz of your server, I really owe ya

  • kidslearn2code Jim Stewart (@kidslearn2code) reported

    @AlSweigart I feel like this is becoming a less and less significant problem. If a fire wiped out my hard drive and time machine backups, all my important code's on GitHub and my writing's on OneDrive and Google Drive. The new problem is all my data's on someone else's computer...

  • karolinaTechDev Karolina_Tech_Dev (@karolinaTechDev) reported

    @LeahT2020 @leonnoel Great . Yeah links 2projects, need to get the icons off GitHub, some reason email is not working.I actually haven’t tired it on code pen or anything it’s just off VS code. There’s a couple other things . I’m just exhausted.

  • jssg33 John Stritzinger (@jssg33) reported

    Ok I need to hate on GitHub desktop which is so slow it takes three.hours to process a 400mb package....come on nadella....AND the 32bit soft client for 3cx....which is terribly unstable...

  • Kathy_Darling Kathy Comeback 3.0 (@Kathy_Darling) reported

    So WSL + Lando is working again, now that dastardly past!kathy's code mu-plugin was removed. New problem is going to be working on WooCommerce's github repo, which must symlink the plugin into the right place now that they are using an annoying mono-repo.

  • SidaChen63 Sida Chen (@SidaChen63) reported

    @sebsilbermann Is that a bug, or a feature? I mean, does it look like GitHub intentionally made the issue impossible to close through UI?

  • CubicleApril April King 🌀 (@CubicleApril) reported

    @ChristopheCVB Is your Elgato Key Light Touch Portal plugin on Github anywhere? I ran into a bug, and was hoping I could track it down and fix it. Thanks!

  • TiptonSolar Kalvin Tipton (@TiptonSolar) reported

    Does anyone know how to deal with memory allocation problems? I’d like to be able to put that into my GitHub page so that people who are having issues generating large maps can easily solve this

  • kressaty Jonathan Kressaty (@kressaty) reported

    @DanielleMorrill Also we don’t generate much email? If they made superhuman for GitHub issues maybe we’d be more interested. But it’s also just clever UI to shim solving a problem around poor communication skills in organizations.

  • causalinf scott cunningham (@causalinf) reported

    Problem is now I’m kind of too far in. Mixtape Sessions distributes code, readings and slides via GitHub. As do my classes. And I have coauthors who do. So I accept that I am back at square one, and so I have to design the new professional workflow. 11/

  • jreleaser JReleaser (@jreleaser) reported

    🍫 Chocolatey updates include name template support in packageVersion, suggest & validate licenseUrl, fix included GitHub workflows.

  • MathewAlden Mathew Alden (@MathewAlden) reported

    @squad3o3 @github GitHub link on site is broken. or... not broken... there's no `a` element, just an image.

  • RaistlinMagus Todd J (@RaistlinMagus) reported

    I like Google's go/ system so much I wrote my own for my local network. grpc server + SQLite + jdk11 webserver talking grpc Will probably throw it up on GitHub when I get some spare time

  • peteoxenham Pete Oxenham (@peteoxenham) reported

    @ARski34 @discord Community driven, open source on github, with a channel in the server dedicated to bot development. I spend all day on discord. The community knows what they want the bots to do - most canned bots that admins install are annoying AF.

  • bad_at_computer Josh🇺🇦💛💙 (@bad_at_computer) reported

    @fasterthanlime @github Problem: Github doesn't run checks for new collaborators by default. :( But yes, this would be nice.

  • foxladysally Your Pal Sal (@foxladysally) reported

    wanted to download something so i had to enter a discord server, hunt around for how to get verified, and am now waiting to get accepted to even see the link JUST MAKE A GITHUB PAGE JESUS CHRIST

  • nicole_local nicole 2: the squeakquel (@nicole_local) reported

    @cr1901 Ah yeah I don't mean web frontend, I meant just operating a server with *** running on it myself (vs. using a hosted service like github)

  • mentallymango mango (@mentallymango) reported
