GitHub Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • matkoch87 Matthias 🥶 (@matkoch87) reported

    @JeremySkinner it's just easy to take it to someone else... github needs a "issues for sponsors only" feature

  • djidji Ivailo Djilianov 🏃‍♂️ (@djidji) reported

    @schneierblog While it is an interesting read the original article boils down to... wait for it: a piece of software on github which - if downloaded - triggers gatekeeper which needs to be disabled and uses Apple Mail to fool Find My into showing your ESP32 on map? #endoftheworld

  • SatyaRohith_ Satya Rohith (@SatyaRohith_) reported

    @CryogenicPlanet @github When you mess up the most awaited feature, you hurry up to fix it.

  • bloodyowl Matthias (@bloodyowl) reported

    There seems to be some issues between @github Pages (behind @fastly) and @Orange_France this evening.

  • shibayan Tatsuro Shibamura (@shibayan) reported

    One of the things I've been wondering lately is whether reporting a GitHub issue as a community or creating a Support Request as a worker is a better way to solve a problem. #azure #AzureFunctions #AppService

  • WestDiscGolf Adam Storr (@WestDiscGolf) reported

    @daveaglick Do github actions work on updating issues? Azure logic app/function you can call which updates issue?

  • kjjaeger Kenneth J. Jaeger (@kjjaeger) reported

    How to I report bugs for @Apereo #CAS or the CAS management application? I believe I have found issues with both, but I don't see anyplace to submit bugs on their respective #GitHub pages.

  • StudioDebacle Studio Debacle | Project ELF: Electronic LifeForm (@StudioDebacle) reported

    @hernaez @chetfaliszek I've only used Github (typically with Sourcetree) but the general process of setting up and using it isn't very friendly to people new to it, and I've run into a lot of verification issues over the years. Love what it does and recommend it but too many headaches over that.

  • AlexAndDraw Alexandra! (@AlexAndDraw) reported

    Github is better at telling me new features then when people have issues with WAT.

  • MagickNET 🧙‍♂️Dirk Lemstra (@MagickNET) reported

    Why do people keep opening issues and discussions with the same question on @github?

  • TheBrockEllis Brock Ellis 🧢 (@TheBrockEllis) reported

    @Justinwillis96 I was legitimately just looking for a free whiteboard app to use for a class I'm teaching. This looks awesome! Ran into an error when trying to invite someone. Opened a github issue. I can open PRs if needed.

  • Mal_loc mal, or at the very least, colm (@Mal_loc) reported

    At work I write jira tickets and after work I write github issues for minecraft mods

  • martyncodes 🚂🏳️‍🌈Meowty McFly (@martyncodes) reported

    @rawkode Your GitHub link is broken on the page FYI

  • BioStormX Bio (@BioStormX) reported

    @nhejnicki @telegram I think the problem is the links to download link to tsetup.2.6.4.exe but in actuality they should link to tsetup.2.6.1.exe which is the latest version shown on github. I changed the 4 to a 1 and was able to download it.

  • RealInaba Inaba (@RealInaba) reported

    @DareLooks i think it might actually be like having a different room, ~but in your miiind~. tho idk, i just do it and it seems to work :v tho i gotta stress, it takes a while to get used to as seen in the above github activity. but like, slow and steady right!

  • PatMan47924463 PatMan #FreeAssangeNOW (@PatMan47924463) reported

    WTF @github? Your site has been screwed all day up/down. Typical Microsoft style.

  • fasterthanlime fasterthanlime 🌌 (@fasterthanlime) reported

    @spacekookie so just regular GitHub issues activity then?

  • tarasglek Taras Glek (@tarasglek) reported

    @rksio That would be sensible but doesn't help here. This person edited a file via github UI and commited stuff independently. Now one has to explain merge conflict and rebasing :(..which would be ok if error messages were sane

  • clevybencheton Cédric Lévy-Bencheton (@clevybencheton) reported

    Last weekend I published a panorama of IoT cyber security regulations. I found a few issues: - No flag emojis on Windows - You can't embed Markdown files into other Markdown files - GitHub loves horizontal scrolling 🤮 I am now considering splitting files and scripting the output

  • tonyfellas Tony Fellas (@tonyfellas) reported

    @myPhilTaylor @github 2002. To bill gates. Fix windows.........

  • TimderBusfahrer Tim (@TimderBusfahrer) reported

    @github We currently have the problem that our GitHub Actions fail on the first run but after a restart the job runs without errors

  • starlightknown Karuna Tata (@starlightknown) reported

    @MagickNET @github Discussions should be more about general ideas or for more talks about the project and issues for any problem or improvements in the project or it's related documents. It gets spammy if both issues and discussions are used for the same question

  • Spaceman_Atlas Bartłomiej Dach (@Spaceman_Atlas) reported

    @ephemeralis i've read many a github issue thread and some of the posts in the forum thread i think you're referring to were... up there in terms of seeing red

  • Sobieck 𝕊𝕠𝕓𝕚𝕖𝕔𝕜 🐘 (@Sobieck) reported

    @buhakmeh @haacked Yeah, we actually approached the problem from GitHub issues first and then worked in Teams and Slack. The whole project has been a pretty neat way to manage our infrastructure and has eliminated a lot of friction.

  • JackMeriwether Jack Meriwether (@JackMeriwether) reported

    @Jules_K I am not sure if you have a facebook, but there is a dedicated GitHub group in there and they were very helpful when I was having issues with setting up my GitHub page. I have not checked for mobile compatibility yet.

  • JeremySkinner Jeremy Skinner (@JeremySkinner) reported

    @matkoch87 Once GitHub enable proper issue template fields that’ll help, most people ignore the markdown ones

  • zzzeek mike bayer (@zzzeek) reported

    @xoelipedes I haven't used it. I helped its author get started but I havent dealt with it at all beyond that, I would go to their github issue tracker.

  • dgkeyes David Keyes (@dgkeyes) reported

    Is there an #rstats package that would allow me to bulk create issues on a GitHub repo?

  • FrenZ396 FrenZ (@FrenZ396) reported

    Before the inevitable "post on github" replies arrive: I don't want to make 20 individual threads. I don't even know how to use the platform and can barely navigate it trying to download something. There needs to be a way for people like me to easily communicate issues.

  • Barnacules Barnacules Nerdgasm (@Barnacules) reported

    It's pretty hard even today to make a convincing deepfake at high resolution but that is going to change over time. They already went from being complicated scripts and weeks of training to just needing a few photos and an .exe off GitHub. This will be a hard problem to deal with
