GitHub Actions can come in handy for lots of things, and Python development is one of them! You can set up a CI pipeline to test against different versions of Python and make your app more reliable.

This guide is good for Fedora, CentOS, and RHEL.

The Billionth Repository On GitHub is Really Shitty - What’s the GitHub repository you have created that you think is of most note? Whic... - https://hackaday.com/2025/06/12/the-billionth-repository-on-github-is-really-shitty/ #softwarehacks #poopemoji #github #funny

We live in a #technosphere and are being force-fed #DigitalTransformation. See how it destroys the fabric of our #society.

#DelightfulCommons curated lists are inspired by #awesome lists on #Github and I realized they still represent a sterile lab with glaring TL lights and metal glinting everywhere.

In a quest to bring more of the missing #social connecting layers to bridge the gap between tech vs. #people and #humanity, I decided to give things a friendlier makeover.

Exciting News!

I'm thrilled to share that Reflectiv has just reached 10 stars today!

If you haven't checked out "Reflectiv" yet, it's a open source tool to collect chatGPT conversations and generate personal diaries prompts to reflect on those.

Go take a look! https://github.com/giacomo-folli/reflectiv

Ah...

Just reading this now over at the #Mastodon #Github #Releases tag:

"Quoting other people is not implemented yet, and it is currently not possible to mark your own posts as allowing quotes. However, a new “Who can quote” setting has been added to the “Posting defaults” section of the user settings. This setting allows you to set a default that will be used for new posts made on Mastodon 4.5 and newer, when quote posts will be fully implemented."

If I may, let me ask this question again, over here:

"- "experimental support for verifying and displaying remote quote posts""

I've watched as this very specific Issue worked its way through the #Mastodon #Github

"remote quote posts"

I've seen no mention (perhaps I missed it) of who exactly gets to --> create <-- these "remote quote posts"

"remote" implies no one on my local instance

It's been far too long since I haven't updated this properly, but here's a snapshot of some open source communities that have already moved off GritHub;

It seems like forge federation is a harder problem to crack than we thought when BorgSoft bought GH. But I'm still hopeful that one day, many of these forges will interoperate to create the experience of a unified code forging space.

@tusharhero

The ongoing enshittification of GritHub is getting so bad that I can't even use web archiving sites to see the comments in an issue discussion;

https://archive.is/nLsvQ

Most of you are probably too old to remember that GH wasn't always the go-to place for publishing source code. There was a time that almost every open source project was hosted on the MySpace of code forges (and the origin of that term), SourceForge.

We've moved en masse before folks, it's time to do it again.

#GitHub

Interlisp source files embed binary control codes for text formatting such as ^F^B for bold. GitHub renders the codes as boxes in browsers other than Firefox, which strips the codes. Here's a sample file:

https://github.com/pamoroso/braincons/blob/main/BRAINCONS

Codeberg thinks the sources are binary files and doesn't render them. The same file on Codeberg:

https://codeberg.org/amoroso/braincons/src/branch/main/BRAINCONS

I'd love to migrate my Interlisp code to @Codeberg but this is a showstopper.

We couldn't believe it at first, but one of the most common numbers guessed about the #IPv6 adoption among logged-in users is 42%. We assume that many users took this number as a joke. But in all seriousness: it is correct! (It is exactly 42.0095476% higher than that of our largest competitor #GitHub )

We boosted the first post with that guess, but feel free to browse all the other awesome project recommendations made in this thread, too!

(Context on the number 42: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrases_from_The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#The_Answer_to_the_Ultimate_Question_of_Life,_the_Universe,_and_Everything_is_42 )

Why is your open source project still hosted on GitHub?

Seriously, we need to talk about your #github addiction!

Here’s a short tutorial to #sourcehut but there are many others ethical forges, like #codeberg

https://btxx.org/posts/beginners-guide-sourcehut/

The (lack of) understanding of "consent" by #GitHub and #Microsoft here is concerning.

Let me put it like this, the people responsible would *not* be invited to the fun parties.

I critique what I consider are bad #GitHub choices and decisions. At the same time, GitHub is a top sponsor of the #curl project. They are among the few companies that make #curl keep going.

We cannot easily afford to switch to something else without someone with a thick wallet helping us do it.

Allow us to block Copilot-generated issues (and PRs) from our own repositories on #github
