There is an on-going malware attack targeting users of GitHub Desktop by buying ads on search engines that link to a committed Readme files on the GitHub Desktop repo with links to malicious versions of the app. This attack is on-going. I just found another attempt from a few days ago.
I found an ad of the same kind on Duck Duck Go, so it's not just Google.
The details of the attack are described in the article.
@kkarhan @OS1337 and I am sure you can move away from #github quite easily as well.
Personally, I think I will move away from github. I am not sure where to yet, but increasingly I feel the need to not feed the LLM torment nexus.
OS1337 looks quite interesting - I have plans to do something similar using fil-c [1] as the compiler.
@spinglass nodds in agreement
Whilst I use #GitHub for @OS1337, I don't use #GithubActions and it can be all done completely airgapped (merely depending on your ability to get sources & toolchain on your device and follow documentation.
But then again I'm not deploying some 3rd tier esolang.
@0xabad1dea Put that as a feature request change for #forgejo. I like Forgejo, I run it on my own server -- but it is a fairly slavish copy of #GitHub, and there are some things, such as your suggestion, that could be done better.
#StaleBot, except instead of threatening the contributor to close the PR, it threatens the maintainers that it will merge it. Obviously, since there are no remarks, it must be good!
#Catima 2.38.0 is out!
https://github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Android/releases/tag/v2.38.0
This release adds support for .pkpasses, removes the Stocard importer (as Stocard no longer exists) and removes images from the widget below Android 12L.
Do note that the widget change is not what we want. If anyone understands this crash and has a fix, I'd love to hear it, so we can support images on all Android versions: https://github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Android/issues/2653
Coming soon to an app store near you.
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.
3 emails a week (to all of the addresses GH has for me) from GitHub trying to get me to have members of my organisation use Copilot.
This just smacks of desperation
