PR: Linux.exe : programmer

[–] Thorry@feddit.org 84 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Would have been funny if it was original. Just randomly wasting peoples time with copy-pasta is not cool.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 24 points 2 months ago

Doing some research, this is FAR from original. Just dumb old trolling, esp. with all the insults.

[–] YellowTraveller@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

It's not wasting anyone's time. The github is just a mirror of the official git repo, no one read the PRs so it's commonly used for shitposting Brodie Robertson made a video about it

By complaining about copypastas you are just making it worse. Can't you see that? Every time you comment and complain about people posting the same comments each time just adds to the incentive for people who think they are funny to continue. I am willing to bet that this comment will turn into a *** copypasta at this point just because of how "funny" and "ironic" it would be to make a copypasta out of a comment complaining about copypastas.

Sometimes Programmer Humor is not very funny 😭

It is really hard to find application releases on Github though. That is something that could be improved.

[–] BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 51 points 2 months ago (4 children)

GitHub's layout is strange to me. Why isn't releases in the top nav bar with Code, Issues, PR, etc.

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I know it doesn't address the issue for most people, but that and other things can be "fixed" with the refined GitHub extension.

The worst part IMO is that there used to be a "releases" button somewhere that got nuked. While "projects" is usually there, even though repos rarely use it.

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's not just GitHub. Gitlab, Forgejo, etc., they all have releases hidden in a rather small tab instead of in a big obvious place where one might expect to see them.

[–] BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Interesting. Maybe they don't want to be an application hosting site to non-developer types by making releases easy to use.

[–] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

They need to make it actively harder then because most devs with a site seem to just link direct to the release page. IMO, if that's the thought process then either make it intuitive or commit and lock it down to contributors or something.

[–] black_flag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

I think the other ones are just copying github

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

On Gitlab, it's in the sidebar, in a submenu under "Deployment". It could maybe be pulled up a level, but I'd argue that's more findable than on Github

[–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Exactly!

[–] JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 months ago

Because GitHub really doesn't want to be the webhost for releases. They want you to spin up a website and provide downloads from your own server, and only link to github for the code.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Try gam (Github Application Manager). It's like apt for GitHub.

"Releases" section right hand. If there is nothing click on the dropdown "Code" and there "download ZIP" because there is no exe.

[–] fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net 3 points 2 months ago

They’re like right there in the side bar

[–] ace@lemmy.ananace.dev 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

People joke about linux.exe, but there was such a thing as andLinux/coLinux

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 6 points 2 months ago

And Wubi!

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The GitHub PR section is a shitshow of different freaks trying to get attention from other freaks

LGTM

[–] GreatRam@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I thought the issues on the Linux github repo became a dating service

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

To be fair, the github.cum/author/project/releases subsection of a isn't exactly the first thing that you find, nor is there a very visible link that stands out.

I must've stumbled across it at some point as I know of its existence, but I don't know how to get there so I usually just manually add it to the URL.

[–] dave@programming.dev 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Github dot what now?

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

cum

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That's the adult-only version.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

To be fair again, OOP would probably also have issues with running Linux.exe.

The release page would probably not helped them much.
