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?
Cisco Talos has developed a fuzzer that enables us to test macOS software on commodity hardware. We released this tool on #GitHub this morning, and you can learn more about it here http://cs.co/6019dusi3
food for thought when giving feedback to contributors.
the author reflects on giving feedback in OSS vs corporate.
OSS, you invest in the ppl and give lots of feedback. not in corporate.
and I like this takeaway:
> And so, I’ve learned that a person can absorb only about one piece of feedback per interaction, and then only if it’s labeled very specifically as feedback with the best intentions, and wrapped delicately in a feedback sandwich.
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 no moral difference taking money from Anduril or from Microsoft. Microsoft has had multi-billion dollar Pentagon and other agency contracts for many years now, and the things they produce are used wherever the U.S. Government wants to use them, including as tools for war and border control."
100% this. #nixos is so embedded in #github that it is hard to take any complaints about other partners or sponsors seriously.
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?
I thought I would take up the challenge of getting @enhance_dev#WASM working with #aspnetcore with the ability to SSR web components directly into the request pipeline.
In the history of data, reuse is a constant. In human history, regime change is a constant.
Hence the extractive repurposing going on at #stackoverflow, #github & #reddit to feed AI and take over your jobs. (And countless injustices, like DACA used for ICE, Nazis using invaded country birth records to find Jews, etc).
This is the true “tragedy of the commons”: upon hostile acquisition, what was once a gift indicating membership, care, and community is liable to unethical extraction.
StackExchange Inc's deal with OpenAI is extremely frustrating, and users are being left without much recourse.
the story is already hitting the tech press, but much of it is missing important details and context about how StackExchange sites are run, not to mention the history of organised protest against SEI's pro-LLM stance.
I wrote a bunch about it here, in case anyone is interested in learning more about the situation and its impact:
@foxyoreos@soatok@gsuberland I've always been puzzled why anyone would volunteer their finite free time as a mod for a fully for profit corporate web corporation.
I've done modding but only for free and autonomous projects. It's a thankless task. I'd never do it again.
The really sad thing is the move from specialist run forums to single point of failure stack* type properties. #ExpertsExchange has been mentioned. #Github should be added to list of bad faith organizations.
#Linux is, unfortunately, is just too much to deal with for someone with a mental illness that has the subjective paradoxes that I have. What OSs I have played with didn't interact or look that great. The only way to make Linux great takes a great deal of programming and in the age of #github and I just can't handle it. I did earn 2 #programming certificates back in the day, but they are very outdated. While I love the idea of customization, I am too far behind the times to make it worth it.
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"
Very excited to announce that @lornajane and I are running a new @openuk Meetup that's digital-only, alongside the other great events being run by the #OpenUK organisation.
Our first event will be a tie-in with #GitHub's #MaintainerMonth and we'll be hearing from a number of excellent maintainers from a variety of projects - stay tuned for more details.
Looking forward to seeing some of y'all on May 22nd at 1200 noon (UK time) for an interesting webinar!
(This will be in addition to other OpenUK events still being hybrid where possible)
I think #2FA with these little 6 digit codes from a dongle or a little app is a good hack to somehow fix our huge security and identity issues on the internet. But there are two implementations that make my blood boil every. single. time.:
#Paypal not accepting ENTER as confirmation of the entered 6 digit code (you need the mouse, arrrrgh!)
#Github just autoloading after the 6th digit is entered, because no-one ever mistyped anything.
"Ich will nichts mehr von zwanzigstelligen Passwörtern, freiwilligen Cyber-Sicherheitssiegeln und BSI-Grundschutz hören, bis das BSI die skandalösen Sicherheitsvorfälle bei #Microsoft offen anspricht und auch endlich konkrete Maßnahmen ergreift, die geeignet sind, diese Gefahr für unsere Infrastruktur zu verstehen und zumindest einzugrenzen. DHS und CISA haben gezeigt, dass das geht."
Sehr schade - ich fand ihr Interview mit #jungundnaiv wirklich vielversprechend und mit ehrlichem Drang für mehr Sicherheit getrieben. Es scheint politisch nicht opportun zu sein, Sicherheit über die enge Microsoft-Kundenbeziehung zu priorisieren.
You might even consider making a reasonable case to move the project’s remaining assets off #SourceForge. Impotently whinging about it here doesn’t change anything.
@boo_@andros I didn’t foresee anyone turning Google’s #Chrome browser #JavaScript engine V8 (2008) into the server (#NodeJs, 2009) and desktop (#ElectronJs, 2013) runtimes that ate the world, but here we are.
And Electron was originally developed for #GitHub’s #Atom text editor (2008) before they were acquired by #Microsoft in 2018, subsequently discontinued in favor of #VSCode in 2022.
Don’t tell me what you can’t see happening if you don’t remember what already did
