  @1__of_1 Since April last year you can see who lost it all, some survived till 10/10, some then survived until this January You see more and more desperation and scam posting, I just saw a dude post an obvious fake github, must be down bad to do so

  google makes 238 billion dollars a year on ads. one developer wrote a tool that blocks all of it. before it ever reaches your devices. it's called pi-hole. 55,700 stars on github. how it works: > runs on a $35 raspberry pi or any old linux machine > becomes the dns server for your entire network > all ad domains are sunk before your browser ever requests them > nothing installed on your phone, tv, or tablet what it blocks beyond ads: > facebook tracking pixel > google analytics on every site > smart tv telemetry > data brokers listening on your network > app telemetry phoning home the result: smart tv stops loading ads. phone browses clean. kids don't see ads on their tablet. one config file. one evening. a 238-billion-dollar industry neutralized for $35. 100% open source. free forever.

  The big problem with everything legal I’ve ever done is MS Word and redlines. Legal needs a github - markdown, diffable, mergeable, etc. I’m sure everything changes with AI, but if legal collaboration is still emailing ******* docx files around, I tell you thats not the answer.

  Being innately curious. Being able to communicate your processes. Finding similar people. Leading from the front. Building things that solve my own and other's problems is something that is in my DNA. I kept Github commits streak for 2 whole years while in college.

  @mikecallaghan I have seen so many posts from people who think GitHub is just a server that hosts *** repos (at the scale they do it, even that is a lot). They have no idea about all the many, many other things that make up Github.

  Github is fundamentally broken. It’s gotten harder than ever to review vibecoded PRs. Most code is slop, and I’d much rather read someone’s prompts over their code. So I built codebook, the *** for prompts. - Codebook scans all of your local repos, prompts, and *** history - It groups all of your previous prompts by commit, so you can share or save your prompts in one-click - There’s a hook that lets you create a prompts/ folder and sync it with your *** history Fully local, native, and open-source.

  I invite everyone to install the gh command on their machines and run gh auth. It saves so much time it's unreal and LLMs understand it perfectly. But after the latest outage issue I doubt it lasts long. Too perfect for LLMs. A lot of the slop on GitHub comes straight out of it too.

  @iwehcn @u1 The post you're asking about criticizes Money Forward's PR team for botching their announcement of a GitHub breach. Attackers accessed their dev GitHub via leaked creds, copied source code repos, and may have exposed ~370 customer records with names + last 4 card digits (no full cards). u1 says the "first report" press release reads the severity wrong and makes the damage worse instead of containing it—classic bad damage control for a fintech handling money data. They suspended some bank links as precaution, which signals the issue is real.

  You need an AI pair programmer to write boilerplate, debug logic, and speed up execution. What are your options? GitHub Copilot sends your proprietary codebase to Microsoft servers to feed their massive models. ChatGPT requires you to paste your sensitive intellectual property directly into a public web interface. Cursor forces your entire development workflow through a centralized cloud proxy. In 2026, writing code at speed requires either paying permanent rent for cloud subscriptions or surrendering your company's intellectual property to corporate training engines. Someone built an architecture to bypass this entirely. It acts as your own private AI pair programmer. No data scraping. No cloud dependency. It is called Continue. Install the extension directly inside VS Code or JetBrains. Connect it to a local model running on your own hardware via Ollama. You get lightning-fast autocomplete and chat that never touches the internet. The technical leverage: - Absolute sovereignty. Your proprietary code, logic, and API keys never leave your physical hard drive. - Zero subscription fees. You stop paying a monthly tax to Microsoft just to generate basic functions. - Deep local context. It indexes your exact workspace securely, understanding your specific architecture without uploading it to a third-party server. - Offline execution. You can generate code on an airplane with zero latency. The corporate system wants you renting access to basic intelligence. They build artificial paywalls around code generation to extract recurring revenue forever. Continue tears down the AI monopoly. It is open-source, highly performant, and keeps your intellectual property exactly where it belongs: entirely under your control. Stop playing by their rules. Stop leaking your codebase. Build your own leverage and direct your own reality.

  @webadderall Does cropping only automatically applied? Because when I do drag the crop indicator, then click button X it wont crop, it goes back to the original. I see issues related to cropping but not this one in github.

  planefag, I'm not excusing the attitude of the guy who pissed you off. But there is an explanation for it, and I'm going to put on my Mister Open Source hat and lay it on you. The real reason there aren't prominent links to downloadable binaries on forge sites like GitHub is that in open-source land there is no such thing as a truly portable binary. Windows and Mac make binary distribution easy by being limited to a single hardware platform and a single ABI - application binary interface.. (The assertion I just made can be quibbled with at the edges. I will be unkind to anyone who attempts this.) An application binary interface is a set of conventions for how you decorate your binary so the operating system's program loader knows what to do with it, and how you write traps from your binary to call operating system services. Windows and Mac have, effectively, just one ABI each. So you can generate one binary for, say, Windows, attach it to a download link, and Windows users will generally not come back screaming for your blood because it fails to work in some obscure way. (Again, this statement can be quibbled with, but see this whacking great truncheon in my hand? Just don't.) There is no such grace in open-source land. There are a whole bunch of complicated historical reasons for this, starting with the fact that Linux runs on more different hardware architectures, and continuing with the fact that Linux isn't the only game in town (there are the BSDs), and continuing into technical minutiae that would make your head hurt, and continuing further into technical minutiae that make *my* head hurt. But what this actually means is that if you want to provide binaries and not get sperg-screamed at, you can't just provide one. You'd have to provide many, and no matter how comprehensive you try to be somebody is going to be disgruntled because you didn't cover their corner case. This is not a cost-free proposition. For each different kind of binary you provide, you need to cross-compile your source code in a different environment, many of them posted on distributions and hardware platforms you don't have routine access to. So people almost never do it at all. Because most projects don't do this, sites like GitHub don't see any demand push to make binary download links really accessible. Instead, the problem is normally handled at a different level. Your distribution maker keeps huge sets of compiled binaries lightly hidden inside of installable packages, tuned for the ABI of that single distribution. Your package manager hides from you the packages for everything but your hardware architecture The person who pissed you off was rude, but he wasn't exactly wrong about the objective facts. What you want isn't practically possible. Instead of being annoyed because GitHub doesn't feature binary-download links, search for that software using your package manager. Sometimes you won't find it. That's when you have to download source bust out a compiler. Sorry, but that's the way it is. We're trying as hard as we can - really, we are. But the complicated shape of the terrain constrains what we can achieve.

  @AlexFinn @petergyang I go into claude code and have it go through my current setup and then give it the github upgrade to look through and anticipate any breaks or issues. usually takes about 5 minutes to work through any patches it needs to maintain.

  GitHub Copilot quietly changed their training-data opt-in defaults in April. if you missed the email, your code may have been opted in. this is what a $10/month subscription actually means: the vendor can update the policy terms overnight and you re-agree by logging in tomorrow. there's no negotiation. there's no refund. there's just a checkbox you have to go find. pay-once tools don't have this problem. you bought the software. they're done with you. link below 👇

  @esrtweet @planefag Most projects I've seen have install instructions right on the home page, for homebrew, apt, etc. I'm not sure I'm that swayed by his rant to say there's a huge problem here. Some norms and standard patterns have emerged. github isn't the place you go for them, except as a project home. And often, they have github pages that are the real project docs, with installation instructions, etc., and a github link for people who care about the source. I feel like he's borrowing trouble here.

  GPT-5.5 just landed in GitHub Copilot, M365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Foundry. No new vendor review. No security exception. No procurement cycle. Dropped straight into the stack my IT team already approved. I built a workflow in 10 minutes this week that immediately solved a problem for my treasury team. 10 minutes!

  @esrtweet As someone who's felt the sting of having to run make -- it was a long time ago, but I remember wondering, "Where's the exe download?" when I first went to Github -- this feels like a a nearly solved problem with LLMs.
