You know, that massive hub of public and private software projects that is the de facto home of open source.
The place owned by the same corporation that just tried to sneak a total surveillance system into the most used operating system by end users and business on the planet.
A couple of years ago I showed that we could start replacing this with a truly #decentralised alternative. See: #p2pgit
interesting to hear somewhere that GitHub is working to integrate ActivityPub in some form or fashion... Sounds very cool. Both excel at being distributed, etc etc.
Of course, searching for "github activitypub" just brings me to every ActivityPub project page and not what I was actually looking for 😂
Hi #blind folks, especially software developers! I'm taking part in a #GitHub research meeting and I hope to raise as many #accessibility points as I can. I was told this fact is not at all confidential, so I may gather feedback.
Here's what I remember: multiline comments are inaccessible (eternal story); sometimes menu roles are used where they shouldn't be (watching repos, reactions etc.). Anything else that really bugs you at GitHub? Thanks!
@menelion Trying to declare accessibility as a binary flag is an exclusionary practice and, more importantly, a waste of everybody's time. Even if you decide that the flag is true for your use case and scenarios, it will be false for somebody else's. @vick21@drew
I think @github may be lying to me. I recently set up a small organisation. We have no need (nor budget) for Copilot Business and yet I’ve received a notification that one member of the organisation has requested it. There’s no way to see who. I checked with the members and it does not appear to have come from any of them. Is this #GitHub spamming me? Has anyone else had this and felt suspicious?
Am I right in believing everyone has access to #GitHub#Codespaces for public projects these days?
I wanted to be able to use them for some training stuff
Reduced my thoughts on Copilot+ PC, as announced, to a piece for Forbes.
TLDR: Also we should think about compliance with things like subpoenas and how completely can anything ever be deleted with such a system.
The more I think about it, the less this seems like a well thought-out product for pros. Dreamed up by coders that already have had their life’s work sucked up by GPT through #Github.
@andrew@law Seriously. And I've mentioned from another angle how awful this bloated mess would be for art/design/audio or video editing, for any kind of "enjoyment" or "hobbyist" use like gaming...
A privacy nightmare AND a privacy nightmare that eats resources you need for what you actually want to do, for the sake of turning your computer into a cop.
Wenn dies unter Umständen "unauffindbar" Fehler und zu umständlichen Code erzeugt, sprich Mathematik "seltsam" umgetzt. Es ist ein Hilfsmittel aber sehe nur ich es so oder ist meine Kritik übertrieben?
»Softwareentwicklung – Github Copilot wird direkt in Visual Studio integriert:
Microsoft Build 2024 Mit Visual Studio 17.10 kommen diverse Neuerungen. Unter anderem kann Github Copilot bei der Generierung von Code helfen.«
@kubikpixel zum einen denke ich, dass wenn man sich Code generieren lässt die viel schwierigere Aufgabe der Codeanalyse und Debuggings hat. Dazu kommt noch dass man ja das Tool benutzt hat weil man es ja nicht so richtig verstanden hat was das Debugging noch schwieriger macht. Außerdem ist der generierte Code sehr langatmig.
Noch problematischer sehe ich, daß man weniger Möglichkeiten zum Lernen hat. Ich glaube daß man nur Programmieren lernen kann mit viel Übung.
My plan for this afternoon was to finish my centralized reusable #GitHub Actions workflows for releasing projects. But some outage is keeping me waiting 😅. (Can even see the self hosted runners spin up but not getting any jobs.)
Important update for #GitHub#Action users! Coming June 50% of the actions on the Marketplace will no longer work without adjustments. If you have ignored the warnings, it will start breaking now 💁♂️.
This is a small bugfix release, fixing some balance and spend/receiving issues (mostly reduced confusion + workaround for some broken Android keyboard apps that don't correctly listen to the list of allowed symbols).
It also contains various translation updates.
The update is available on #GitHub right now and will most likely be available on #IzzyOnDroid within 24 hours. It has also been sent to Google Play Open Testing for review.
Is there a better way to create new cards on #Github project boards? The way I know how to do it involves five clicks and three different steps saving things. Surely there's a better path?
#Gitlab still doesn't support issue templates in #yaml, the way #Github and #Forgejo can. Only #Markdown, which is a lot less attractive. But #Github and #Gitlab can do label changes in the Kanban (project) view, which #Forgejo can't.
La nouvelle version de l’app mobile GitHub embarque le service « Copilot Chat », mais ne propose toujours pas le minimum de fonctionnalités pour gérer une organisation de plus de 300 dépôts. 🙄
Et la version web mobile est une plaie à utiliser.
There is something wrong with this #GitHub#UX that I can't quite understand how to fix, but the problem is this:
Almost 100% of the time when I'm writing a response in a discussion, I want it to be in response to an existing thread, not as a new post. But this UI just screams "new post please!" and relegates the "reply" functionality to visual second class.
@jaykul The complaint I consistently heard about Teams (this is several years ago now) was that their chat model basically forced everything into threads. It was very bad at just "stream of consciousness" chatting, which was how 99% of team channels in Slack worked.
I'm starting to see a wave of single-PR users on GitHub submitting updates to copyright dates. There is nothing obviously malicious about them, though they have a metallic whiff of bot. Is there any reason to avoid these?
@vascorsd Many tools -- like sbt-header -- get cranky if the year is not consistent across the project. But I've started putting the project start year there and leaving it alone.
@ross yeah, I've seen diffs in scala stuff out there and seen than sbt header plugin thing, but fortunately I never used it personally nor professional.
Usually for work it's all internal stuff so there's not really enforcement around that 😅.
Spdx is the best 😌. I'm really liking the short name for the license, and not having to add huge comments with boilerplate text.
I've been trying / experimenting with using reuse tool to manage these things and it's kinda nice too.
I'm frustrated with #Github issue search. I am looking for issues on #Flatpak repo that contains "sort" or "sorting". Github says there is no issue containing "sort" or "sorting"
