Not sure if it’s still current, but there’s a comment saying it’s just a US location thing which is quite funny. https://github.com/community/community/discussions/72603#dis...

In You can no longer browse open source code on GitHub without logging in firstThe correct place for those requests is here: https://github.com/community/community.
In The past, present, and future of UI at GitHubIt runs both. Had seen this on the discussions on Github.

In Did GitHub Copilot increase my productivity?its comically bad. I only unchecked the recommendations, and now I get basically nothing:

In New GitHub feed is hot garbageUnfortunately, I think this is another indication of a lack of understanding by GitHub of how their OAuth/GitHub App systems are expected to function by end users.
I'm reminded of this incident [1] from a few months ago. Allegedly, a malicious actor abused GitHub's poorly designed OAuth permissions to obtain up to 500 stars from developers without their consent, all thanks to a "sign in with GitHub" button and a flawed consent screen that did not communicate what the victims were consenting to. Even worse, GitHub allegedly decided to suspend at least one victim's account.
We're left with a number of questions:
1. Why does GitHub give third-party apps permission to star repos when it is apparently against the terms of service to automate such an action?
2. Why does GitHub lump this permission in with public_repo, a scope that grants read a
Read the rest
nd write access to all public repositories? [2]
3. Why does the consent UI for this scope display simply as
Repositories
Public repositories
and not even mention that this grants write access unless the user clicks on it? [3] (it also doesn't mention that it gives permission to star repos)
4. Why does GitHub punish victims with account suspension for being tricked into giving consent to malicious apps?
It is good that GitHub is taking some steps to improve account security, such as fine-grained personal access tokens and mandatory 2FA. But these improvements do not seem to be extending to the OAuth system. The GitHub App system, while better in that it has granular permissions, is also flawed with its mysterious "act on your behalf" consent UI. [4] [5]

I can't stand how co-pilot hijacks the standard code completion, often overriding the typescript completion I actually want or generating something distracting.
There should be a way to only run completions when prompted.

In Launch HN: Bloop (YC S21) – Code Search with GPT-4Yeah, Vundle's (presumably temporary) removal caught me off guard today on a fresh install. This, in turn, has caused me to take a hard look at the Vim plugins I was using. Turns out I only needed one...which I wrote. So I'm now just storing that one in the horrible "vanilla" Vim plugin scheme and putting that in my dotfile management.
Just a good reminder that dependencies will always let you down. It's just a matter of time. Oh, and never turn your back on a big company.
Here's the tracking on this issue:
https://github.com/community/community/discussions/48173
GitHub: "The VundleVim organization has been flagged. Because of that, your organization is hidden from the public."
In VundleVimHere's the support discussion ticket for this:
https://github.com/community/community/discussions/48173
>The VundleVim organization has been flagged.
Because of that, your organization is hidden from the public. If you believe this is a mistake, contact support to have your organization’s status reviewed.
It may because their publicly editable wiki had been filled with links to malware:

In Vundle Removed from GitHubIt seems the organisation was flagged. See here [0]

In Vundle, the plug-in manager for Vim is missing"The VundleVim organization has been flagged"[1] --- the author seems to be puzzled as well.

In Vundle.vim does not exist anymoreThere is some discussion here [1] If anyone here has an enterprise account perhaps they could open a ticket and put in a feature request. I don't have one. It might be worth suggesting to just add an IPv6 address on the load balancer to minimize the backend work.

In Ask HN: Why can't we clone a Github repo on IPv6 yet?The way it handled branches and merging was an absolute nightmare. IIRC it did this super weird thing that when you put up a diff from the CLI, it made its own little temporary branch for you. And god forbid if you pushed up your branch remotely, it would get all confused and start diffing against that remote branch. Literally couldn't merge via the UI, the CLI was the only way.
To be fair, the review system was better than GitHub. It's insane that even today, there's no way to tag your team and have them stay tagged. If anybody comments or reviews, they're dismissed. This is an issue that's been open for nearly five years. [1]
