  • IanColdwater Ian Coldwater 📦💥 (@IanColdwater) reported

    @thockin clearly you Google it and there's one result from a GitHub issue from 2018 that was closed for inactivity

  • optemized Tem 🪄 (@optemized) reported

    All you need to do is: 1. Auth the apps with Notion (admin) 2. Copy links for Jira boards or GitHub issues 3. Open a Notion page and paste And viola, ✨ you get familiar Notion views with the data and any changes automagically synced✨

  • foyzul_karim Foyzul Karim (@foyzul_karim) reported

    I strongly believe @GitHub #Copilot should be free or much less than $100/year. GitHub (or @Microsoft ) can, and should earn from services which is not directly tied with code writing itself. May be it is psychological issue for me, but I am sad to pay for Copilot. #github (1/3)

  • UnluckyNinja_ UnluckyNinja (@UnluckyNinja_) reported

    Finally figured it out. So it's not too many built-in sync components that make Vitepress slow, it's just too many requests to Codespaces that makes it slow. (Vitepress dev pages takes ~14s to load in Github Codespaces (w/ proxy), while only ~2s if run locally on my laptop)

  • callum_codes Callum McIntyre 🎒 (@callum_codes) reported

    @kyleshevlin I think with some projects/changes Github Issues works with this. But there’s definitely not a solid culture thing where everyone is happy to discuss things in issues vs just wanting it to be immediately addressable bugs

  • ArrowType Arrow Type (@ArrowType) reported

    @mekkablue Shoot! Sorry to hear that. Installing it can definitely be weird on some systems. Probably, if you reach out via a GitHub issue, Filipe would be helpful in getting you up and running!

  • Ewjoachim Joachim Jablon (@Ewjoachim) reported

    @hipsterelectron @tgamblin …but I’m disappointed by « GitHub is a problem, let’s leave GitHub asap and think of a plan later » which I’m afraid may do more harm than good

  • ngriffin_uk Nicholas Griffin (@ngriffin_uk) reported

    @TkDodo @codesandbox Oh I guess that’s true, also I guess you get stuff outside of GitHub. I presume there’s an action that you could have to that closes the issue if it isn’t present, but maybe that’s a bit harsh… OSS is just so blooming tricky.

  • tgamblin Todd Gamblin (@tgamblin) reported

    @hipsterelectron GitHub (or copilot, which I don't see as a copyright problem) isn't the same thing as climate change. GitHub's done more for OSS--by providing a sustainable model for free infra for millions of projects (without ads 👀👀SourceForge)--than most orgs I can think of.

  • ahcohen Albert Cohen 🏴‍☠️ (@ahcohen) reported from Bolozon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

    @lwnnet @olberger I don't get it. What's the specific problem with copilot? There are many reasons to be willing to leave GitHub, but I missing the rationale on this one.

  • Belgriek Someone (@Belgriek) reported

    @BrittanyBitz @RadiantLayerOne @TheAttilaAros So basically it is a stripped BCH fork with some new OP_CODES ? ( I am not trying to humble you down, I just want see if I understand the beginnings) What are these codes? I suggest to add a little more information on the github. TIA

  • Matito_DA Matito 💛 (@Matito_DA) reported

    jo @NotionHQ there is a possibility to sync a GitHub project (with issues) to notion in a easy way?

  • benbjohnson Ben Johnson (@benbjohnson) reported

    @devgerred @litestreamio Yeah, I don't mean to make discussions secret but I find I get better/quicker feedback from regular Litestream users when I ask on the Slack. Not everybody is following GitHub issues.

  • _yogr (@_yogr) reported

    @quame_jnr1 So I authored the Flutter story view package and a YouTuber used it for a tutorial. Apparently there was a bug with video playback that caused his app to flop… I remember he just mumbled jumbled some words around it and ignored it. I begun to get GitHub issues about it later

  • john47assassin Jonathan John (@john47assassin) reported

    Dear Shithub, Your servers are down since three days now. I am not able to push/pull anything easily. Also Copilot is not working. I am not able to login to Copilot. It keeps on showing 'Waiting for github authentication' even after device is authenticated from website. @github

  • bloudraak Werner Strydom (@bloudraak) reported

    @emurrelldev Some non-technical folks I worked with just edited and created markdown pages in the GitHub repository. Even techies did it when they were too lazy to clone, create a branch, and whatnot, just to fix a spelling mistake.

  • kfsone Oliver 'kfsone' Smith 🇺🇦 (@kfsone) reported

    @nick_r_cameron The next rung down the ladder is @Gitlab which is devops-centric and does everything it can to make developers as miserable as github makes people on the other side of the equation :)

  • Joelbdenning Joel Denning (@Joelbdenning) reported

    I read a github issue about Signal Desktop and these are the kinds of open source users who really deeply care ideologically about the software they're using.

  • mikegapinski Michał Gapiński (@mikegapinski) reported

    @normanmaurer @nicolasfurno @TeslaAndroid I just need to automate tagging and publishing on GitHub. The rest is done with GitHub actions now, meaning that I can do it in one evening. If I can get it to 1 hour I will be pushing new builds like crazy. That would call for OTA updates, but I don’t have a server to host them

  • GeoffreyHuntley GEOFF 🦩🎼🐻 (@GeoffreyHuntley) reported

    @buhakmeh Moving from GitHub to Gitea or GitLab isn’t good enough. It’s time to evolve standards and protocols to address long standing issues. Opensource lives longer than some hosted and thus tools needs to be built to support this true reality.

  • pinskia Andrew Pinski (flipping tables for fun) (@pinskia) reported

    github issue tracking system reminds me of gnats bug tracking system. That is how bad it is ....

  • luisbruno الجبر خوارزمی.زكات (@luisbruno) reported

    @obie @soulcutter i hope the point is a bit clearer now? ideally one would select the licenses of the training data that goes into my own usage of copilot select MIT/Apache2/BSD-3-clause, and the problem is moot ofc, this doesn't suit MS/GitHub ;)

  • mountainherder D. Scarnecchia (@mountainherder) reported

    But the thing is, I don't like bodges, so that evening, on my own time, I opened a FR on github, proposed a solution, and offered to fix it. @xieyihui took me up on it, and in less than 24 hours we'd patched it and merged it to main.

  • hipsterelectron danny "disco" mcClanahan (@hipsterelectron) reported

    @tgamblin if you don't see it as a copyright problem then you are not the target audience is all i'm saying. there is a profit motive behind github "doing more for OSS" and a good alternative to that is not going to arise out of the either

  • VictoryQuiah Victory 🇱🇷🇺🇲 (@VictoryQuiah) reported

    Day 30-31 🤍6 daily codewars and pushed to github 🟩🟩 🤍reviewed javascript from the beginning I realized I'm struggling with programming logics. When I go to start a project, I completely blackout on where to start or how to break it down. PLEASE HELP! ANYONE?

  • Ewjoachim Joachim Jablon (@Ewjoachim) reported

    @hipsterelectron @tgamblin You’re absolutely right in that it could be better expressed, with better arguments. That said, I would have expected « GitHub is a problem, here’s a thought-out solution » (which requires resources, indeed) or « GitHub is a problem, join us to think about a solution » …

  • stegaBOB Sammmmmmy (@stegaBOB) reported

    @0xAlice_ @steveluscher Houston, we have a problem. GitHub issue incoming

  • DevEliCruz Elijah Cruz (@DevEliCruz) reported

    This also made it to where when I was ready, I'd create a PR (even if the project is just me). This also means I run Pest, PHPCS, and Larastan, using Github Actions every time I'm ready to merge. If any fail, then I know I still have more to fix, and I actually feel satisfied ->

  • toflidium Toby Allen (@toflidium) reported

    @JohnnyBig0des @freekmurze @github Open source is open source how he wishes to deal with issues has nothing to do with whether it is open source or not. It’s about managing expectations and noise

  • jdlien JD Lien (@jdlien) reported

    @abbey_of_London Sure! Go the the website and view source! index.html is 100% plain HTML with no server side code at all. I suppose I could put the site on GitHub at some point, but it is a little bit of a mess with a bunch of random things I made all over it.
