on GitHub Has an Availability Problem. Is It Time to Look Elsewhere? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 19 Aug 2026
Yeah? You should still make a decision. If you want it possible to watch, star and fork the repo from any of the sub-pages, then that stuff has to live in that top ribbon.
But then you shouldn’t duplicate it into the Code sub-page. I’d work with split buttons, where you can look at who starred and you can add your own star, all from the same UI element. It would not even take up more space, since they do already display the count in the top ribbon as well.
Apparently this is how Codeberg does it (see e.g. this repo), so this might be where I have the idea from…

I mean, yeah, it can make sense to duplicate information. That screenshot isn’t supposed to say that all of these should be deduplicated.
But you really gotta be cautious with duplication, because it makes everything else harder to find. And I would absolutely argue that GitHub has crossed the line where they duplicate too much, across the board. It feels like design-by-committee.This is entirely anecdotal, but what really dumbfounded me while annotating that screenshot, is that I never actually read the links in that “About” section.
I’ve seen this page probably a thousand times already, but I had no idea that there’s an “Activity” link there, which actually seems like it could be useful. Nor a link to the README, to the CONTRIBUTING.md or for “Custom Properties” (whatever that is).
I had no idea how to report a repo until now, even though the link is apparently always on screen.There’s just so much info there, and it’s presented like read-only info, not like navigation links, so I always just skipped over the lines that don’t have numbers in them. I also genuinely never tried clicking any of these lines before…

I could rant a lot about the GitHub UX, so here’s just the fairly obvious stuff on the repository page:
Red arrows mean duplicated information or duplicated navigational elements.
Green arrow means why the fuck do I have to tell our customers to click a random link in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, in order to download our software? -

I feel like a patent would’ve run out by now. From what I’m finding online, US patents generally only last 15-20 years. They might’ve filed it in a different country, and yesterday I read of a media codec patent lasting 25 years in Brazil.
But yeah, I believe that feature was in there before 2000 already, and they didn’t innovate on it since, which might’ve allowed for a new or renewed patent.It might also just be a pain to implement…

on Judge gives Google one week to fix "anticompetitive" app store download in Google Play in c/technology@piefed.social · 15 Aug 2026
Yeah, but at least it sounds like an arbitrary search restriction they put in place, so taking that back out shouldn’t be too difficult.

on How AI text watermarking works: a visual guide in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
The section “4. What editing does to the mark” talks about that. Probably best to look at that illustration again, but basically those edits would interrupt consecutive runs of detectable text, but if a run is long enough, it can still be detected with statistical significance.
So, it doesn’t have to check the ‘color’ of the words from start to end uninterrupted, but rather can also detect color sequences in the middle of the text.

on How AI text watermarking works: a visual guide in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
Yeah, they can’t easily rotate keys, because the text can’t tell you which key was used.
They could switch to a new key e.g. every month and then just check every previous key during detection. But that would slowly increase the likelihood of false positives, so no idea if that’s a good idea either.

on Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
Funnily enough, Firefox basically has it, with its Tracking Protection. The vast majority of ads use tracking, so get blocked by it.

on The Rust programming language project is adopting an LLM policy in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Aug 2026
With “refine”, I would guess they’re talking about refining a task, so breaking it down into smaller, more concrete/actionable tasks.
Because that’s usually meant in dev lingo, and because the other possible meaning of improving already-written code/docs is kind of already covered by “review”.

I believe, the right term to call that, is abuse of their dominance in one market to force their way into another…

Kate with an LSP server installed, for the language you want to code in, is also pretty decent. In case, you want less of a difference to KWrite. 🙂

on Take-Two CEO Says We'll All Be Streaming Our Games In 3 Years in c/games@lemmy.world · 9 Aug 2026
That headline completely misrepresents what he actually says.
Personally, I can see streaming gaining more of a foothold again, due to hardware prices, but only for the niche of high-fidelity games. And I rather imagine that niche is primarily going to shrink.
We’ve already got the “friendslop” games gaining massively in popularity. And if people can’t afford new hardware, a streaming service will be just as hard of a sell.

on 'This Is Unbelievably Scummy' - GTA 6 Fans Are Annoyed By Netflix's Paywalled Extended Look at the Game in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Aug 2026
I also really wouldn’t get my hopes up that it’s particularly different from GTA 5. The setting is still just realism, so they can’t change much in terms of gameplay or art style, not even the storytelling can go too far off the rails.
The graphics and world simulation will likely be more, uh, realistic, but you’d really need to get a lot of enjoyment out of fine details for that to make much of a difference…
No, they mean the license costs. I’m pretty sure, you only have to pay a fee for Docker Desktop…
