I’m sure we need a bot for lemmy or entire fediverse that will search posts like this 👆 and do comment with “normal” link. That will be great.
I saw something like that in the Masto for YouTube.
Great idea for a project!
Is this supposed to be treated like an image? Doesn't load for me on Sync
It's a link to a paywall removing service/proxy. It should not show as an image.
I think you linked it wrong. Maybe try removing the !
Thanks for the heads-up. It was my lemmy client that did it.
It's not paywalled here, try using porn mode, clearing that site's cookies or something like archive.today.
Porn mode?!?
I mean yes but pornmode?
PORN MODE ON
I thought that was catchier than "Private Browsing/Incognito/InPrivate/gift shopping mode".
Been on GitHub for years now, mostly passive, and have never heard of "stars" people have or get.
You can "star" repositories on GitHub. I believe this has always been a feature.
You can star repos. Mine have a few. No idea what it does and I didnt get any notificaitons for it when it happened. Jus figured it some irelevant feature.
I use stars to keep a list of repositories I'm interested in. You can even put them in different categories, like browser bookmarks.
I've always just followed them, have it send emails when a new release happens or something.
Stars don't really do that much, people mostly use it to "favorite" your repo. Or just a general "Upvote" or something
I have a repo with about 1.4k stars, so what it gives you:
The Starstruck badge in your profile with different tiers at 16/128/512/4096 stars
Visibility in search: When you search for something in Github, it takes into account the amount of stars something has
Not sure if that affects other searches, like google
Even more stars (apparently like 5k+ or more) gives you
Github Copilot is free if you're a "maintainer of a popular open source project"
What the heck is this paywalled article doing here? That's some reddit-level shit.

I mean nice, but anyone with half a brain will take a look at the code and decide for their own if they're a decent coder
Also there's star graphs over time that show the growth of a project
Shitty companies hiring shitty employees sounds like a win win to me
