  @Rockmih @Graslu00 The kicker is the GitHub for the n64 recomp shows it has nearly the exact same bugs the Xbla one does. “Skybox in the Dam/Sky and Water in Frigate”. These are the only bugs I’ve noticed in the xbla version. Apparently kholdfuzion redid the decompiler and now they can’t port it like they did the others. The fix is, supposedly, the same as perfect dark. None the less, what that means is, if they’d of quit shitting on the poor guy doing the xbla one, they could’ve fixed it and we could’ve had HD graphics off the *** without waiting for a bunch of snobs to pull their heads out of their asses. For a “community led” project there’s and awful lot of Reddit style jerking off going on.

  The GitHub outage is on me. My bad. I was talking to a friend a couple of days ago and said that GitHub was usually super reliable. So... again... my bad. Should have knocked on wood I guess.

  So it basically proves if GitHub is down half of the startups/tech industry will take a pause, we surely need more than once normalised dependencies for Repo Management.

  ~1 hour into Origin. Promising, and clearly early beta. ***, GitHub sync, PRs, and in-repo agents already feel like the right shape. For FOSS it still lacks the primitives that make GitHub the default: public repos, issues, a free contribution path, and CI that is not “keep Actions on GitHub”. Visibility today is Internal or Private, paid plans only. Strong Cursor-native host. Not a GitHub replacement for open source yet.

  @stepango @github If a GitHub outage stops your team from shipping, GitHub was never the problem. *** runs fine locally. A lot of shops quietly turned a distributed tool back into a mainframe and only notice on days like today.

  @githubstatus Someone else still having issues but only on GitHub Desktop?

  @IamSenuda @icanvardar I thought about the same thing… If my code is pushed elsewhere and is currently deployed then GitHub being down shouldn’t be of much concern to me

  It’s interesting that as soon as GitHub has an outage all of a sudden my name is off the waitlist for Origin. Funny how things work that way… #FakeHype

  GitHub has been down 5 times in August alone. Today it went down for 4 hours. 10,000+ developers reported issues. On the same day, Cursor launched Origin its own code hosting platform. Built inside Cursor. crazy times we are living in

  @spgunarath @mehulmpt Most all things on github are not stateful. You can scale the state separately, and if that failed it wouldn't take everyone down. If you segmented it, which is normal, 99.9% of the people wouldn't even notice a failure.

  Precisely the reason I asked. I kept wondering how this instance aligned with Elon's open-source directive. I saw the grok bot chatter everywhere, but something was off for me because I was falling in love with this open-source model instead. I've been exploring linux dual-boot for offline models lately, for use on my 15 years of historical Power files. Those stay 100% air-gapped at all times. Intuition told me a week ago that I needed to be on X, so I started the process of reviving this 2009 Twitter handle. Then the Cursor announment Then the github outage. 🤯

  GitHub went down again. Coincidentally, Cursor launched Origin as a new *** platform for the agentic era, and that got me thinking, building a better GitHub is one problem, getting people to leave GitHub is a completely different problem. The technology isn't the hard part, Developers already have ***. They have years of commit history, issues, pull requests, CI/CD pipelines, integrations, permissions, team workflows, open source projects, and a social graph sitting on top of it. That's an enormous switching cost. And we've seen GitHub alternatives before. GitLab, BitBucket, SourceHut and plenty of others can host code and run developer workflows. The question isn't whether you can build another one. It's whether you can give developers a reason strong enough to move everything. AI might actually be the first credible wedge. If agents become the primary users of code repositories, the optimal workflow may no longer look like today's GitHub at all. Agents might want different primitives for branching, reviewing, testing, merging and deploying. That's where a new platform gets interesting. Don't try to convince millions of developers to switch because your *** hosting is 20% better. Build something they literally can't do on GitHub. That will make switching feel inevitable.

  Wait, what a timing here GitHub was down and here Cursor have launched Origin. Did you guys literally wait for GitHub to crash?

  @SD_Tutorial I know this will sound very rookie-like but I went to that page and I have always had an issue downloading and installing ANYTHING when it comes to github. Could someone be kind enough to break it down for me. I'm old and I'm used to the days when you just doubleclick an exe

  @justalexoki I put up a PR to fix a minor intermittent crash barely affecting our crash rate. I figured I may as well, Claude can do it for me. But then I had to resolve four useless comments from a review bot, rebuilt PR three times because of a flakey E2E test, and then GitHub went down.
