Is it correct that you _still_ cannot filter GitHub notifications for PRs that are merged/closed?

https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/15591

That is wild. This thread started in 2022

#github

Code Berg (spelled as one word: CodeBerg) is a GitHub / GitLab alternative, based in Germany, Europe — outside U.S. jurisdiction and away from large corporations such as Microsoft.

You can either join Code Berg, or you can host your own copy @forgejo Of course, @Codeberg is also on the Fediverse.

I'm in a #github internal group for high-profile FOSS projects (due to @leaflet having a few kilo-stars), and the second most-wanted feature is "plz allow us to disable copilot reviews", with the most-wanted feature being "plz allow us to block issues/PRs made with copilot".

Meanwhile, there's a grand total of zero requests for "plz put copilot in more stuff".

This should be significative of the attitude of veteran coders towards #LLM creep.

I never imagined GitHub would ask me to speak about Log4Shell.
But it happened.

GitHub asked me to share the story as I lived it, for the benefit of all maintainers and users of open source. How could I say no?

I hope it helps build a more secure future.

No more Log4Shell.

There's a poll doing the rounds today testing the hypothesis that a #GitHub account is a pre-requisite to #FediVerse participation.

What an odd and bizarre hypothesis!

Everyone knows that the pre-requisite to FediVerse participation is ownership of a dog/cat/bird feeder/weather station, and one or more of a camera, an allotment, a bicycle, or a record player.

FYI: As part of a larger move away from GitHub, I've archived Big Brain on it and moved all future development over to Codeberg, at https://codeberg.org/zkat/big-brain

Please use that repo from now on.

Additionally: I am in the process of trying a major rewrite of the crate that I'm hoping will be much simpler, and much more efficient, thanks to features now available in recent version of Bevy! I'm very excited :)

#GitHub - Please make it possible to remove the autogenerated source archive links from releases. This is a cause of endless confusion as people accidentally download the wrong source code archive instead of the actual release one. I got bitten by this just moments ago. https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/28707 - sure it was my own mistake to accidentally pick the wrong link, but just making this possible is stupid and would be trivial to fix.

I know #curl project gets annoyed by this issue periodically as well and has requested this feature from GitHub.

The "SMS/Text message" enable section from GitHub

I'd like a #GitHub feature that extracts/offers the text from images/screenshots (so that we can replace the images) to improve issues and bug reports where people ANNOYINGLY insist on using images for text.

Side-project idea: find hilarious / great / interesting #GitHub issues with 100+ comments and use #AI to turn those into a podcast episode. Bonus: browser plugin that adds a button "Listen as heated discussion" to the issue page.

While procrastinating something, I noticed a wave of script kiddie traffic with a browser ID string matching a Github hosted "security scanning" project, but one without contact info. #github #security #scriptkiddies

Should I

It’s not fair to compare a state-of-the-art-AI-assisted proprietary tool from a trillion-dollar corporation with a hand-coded free and open tool from a small not-for-profit cooperative.

(The latter works.)

Explored the awesome-mcp-servers repo on GitHub today 🤯. Found a huge variety of MCP servers. Then searched on Google and found even more.

Whatever you search for, there is probably an "awesome" repo for it - Java, Kubernetes, Spring Boot, and more.

I wonder if the #OpenBSD folk have considered moving their Git mirror from #GitHub to say #Codeberg ?

Just gonna mention one time more that the #github ToS gives them a license to use your content in a way that is very apparent in 2025 includes training their LLM on it.

The only license I will ever provide to my free software is the license it's publically released under, so I will never push it to #github, and have not since the day they made this part of their ToS.

For anyone interested why I ditched GitHub, and encourage others to. It's now a plagiarism engine.

I moved to GitLab when GitHub sold out to Mircosloth, but will probably move again to a trusted (non-AI infected) provider when I find one.

#github

The great thing about #GitHub's move to React, and thus being able to partially update the UI, is that you can construct inconsistencies you'd never get with a full-page refresh! *slowclap*
