Next addition to my #GitHub sponsorships is an obvious one. @hachyderm is an awesome #mastodon instance, and I couldn't be happier about being here. @nova and the team behind it is doing an amazing job, and I'd urge anyone who is able to to consider sponsoring, which is super easy to do via GitHub ( https://github.com/sponsors/hachyderm )
Thanks #hachyderm and everyone who has helped making this such a friendly place!
#GitHub - derwiki/layoff-runbook: Being laid off can be #overwhelming and it's easy to miss important tasks. This #runbook will help make sure you stay on track.
I would like to sincerely thank @genewitch , for opening up a ticket for making the #Misskey web interface more accessible to all #Blind & #VisuallyImpaird users.
Comment among the #GitHub thread if anyone has ideas/thoughts, and spread the word!

Yearly #GitHub sponsorship bill just paid. My goal for next year is to double the amount, and will try to identify a few more devs whose work I depend on either for work or for fun. Bonus if they have a presence in the fediverse, as I enjoy following their work. It's not much, but it's something.
Only @borkdude is on Mastodon currently (that I know), and if you've done anything in #Clojure in the last few years, you'll most likely have encountered his work.
I tried to report to #GitHub that their social links feature fails to correctly validate #fediverse handles unless they are hosted on a mastodon, and all I got was a link to their community discussions 🙄.
Since Microsoft is big enough to only care about things when there is enough noise, here is a link where you can upvote / make noise. :nes_fire:
Until this is addressed, if you happen to be using any other server type (e.g. #Pleroma, #Akkoma, #Calckey, #Friendica etc), GitHub will not accept your handle as a fediverse social link.
I've added the new #PyPI feature "Trusted Publishers" to the secure #Python package template repository, you can now publish packages without credentials in #GitHub Actions! 📦
Ok #NixOS peeps. I'm currently running NixOS and subscribed to the nixos-22.11 channel. I installed Vivaldi but I'm not on the latest release.
If search Nixpkgs, I see that the latest release on stable is 5.4.2753.47. However, I can see the pull request and merge to update the package to 6.0.2979.15 on the master branch in #Github. Shouldn't I be getting that version when I update my config?
@box464 Very into a "how to get verified wizard idea.
And if you already have a #GitHub, #Medium, #Flipboard or #Gravatar account already, I'll be the wizard could just connect the two and give you a greencheck pretty seamlessly.
> development seems to be kinda frozen
I think development is very active, lots of new features are being discussed on #GitHub. It might not be going as fast as commercial projects, but it's certainly not frozen.
> It's hard to find the people I want
Unfortunately it is, but when was the last time you signed up to a brand new social network? It's always hard at first. I personally think it has reached the critical mass to be enjoyable.
This is hilarious. A #Google engineer invented #zx to make command line scripting easier with #NodeJS, because at a certain point #shell scripts get too complicated and you need a Real #Programming Language.
This is exactly #Perl’s use case from thirty-six years ago. But the kids want #JavaScript everywhere and would rather it take more work to convert their ascended #Bash scripts to a vastly different syntax.
I started the #delightful project. It's similar to Awesome project on #Github by Sindre Sorhus, but only curates lists related to #FOSS, #OpenScience and #OpenData resources. If @abundance wants that, they might maintain their own sublist and be part of https://delightful.club that is steadily growing.
An interesting #GitHub... Bug? Feature? Spam vector?
