Eh, not being able to explain it elegantly on the spot in front of people understandable.

But if can’t come up with a simple explanation even when you’re by yourself with all the time in the world, then yeah you probably don’t understand it well enough.

It’s for people that say “it’s a complex topic. You wouldn’t be able to understand it”. Bitch, the human brain is amazing. People can understand anything they want to. You’re just too lazy to help them.

By default pull requests my new contributors require approval from someone with write-access to the repo before running actions.

These repos have specifically decided to change a setting to make them not require approval for anyone. The UI to change that setting explicitly warns you about exactly this attack, so this “article” feels like a non-item trying to farm engagement.

Hah! They don’t care about “builders” or users. They care about business. Specifically large enterprises the have too many people to care about a single employee’s individual productivity.

Microsoft caters mostly to them and is quite good at that.

But if you’re an end user, gamer, or individual consumer, just move to Linux already. They don’t care about you.

The core of the problem trickles down to weak CI/CD configurations that grant pull requests (PRs) more permissions than they should have.

How exactly do their competitors like codeberg do better in preventing that?

Who is jellyroll? I’m guessing someone whose music sounds like farts?

Out of the loop here. What was the great purge?

Yeah, if you avoid money sinks up front, you also don’t get sucked into money sinks later on.

I have a 200" projector screen and anything below 4K Blu-ray is very noticable. 😅
