It's a game where you push in the teeth of the alligator, with a chance that it will bite you.

It's been since my childhood since I've played it, but if I remember correctly, the goal is to push in as many teeth without the alligator triggering, and of course if it triggers, to try to pull your fingers out before you get clamped :P

It can hurt a bit if you get clamped, but it's not strong enough to do any real damage to your finger.

This post assumes I actually want to waste my time on LLMs, I don't.

And even worse, it assumes you want to use the remotely hosted spy-ware variant, not even the less bad, but still a waste of time local variant..

You're very welcome! :)

Been using VSCodium for a few years now, for loose file editing,
no complaints about it, imo it's what VSCode should be.

Believe me, I'd love to ditch Github!

But it's a really though bullet to bite for me..

It kinda acts as my CV for when I'd apply for a new job, and in my nearly 10 years on the platform I've accumulated a nice follower and star count to prove my worth as a developer, which is hard to regain on smaller more privacy respecting platforms like Codeberg or Forgejo..

Perhaps it's time to move to Codeberg though.
If I'd do so I will probably:

  1. Initially mirror the repo's to Codeberg
  2. Notify the users about scheduled date to move to Codeberg
  3. Archive the Github repo's and finalize move to Codeberg

Awesome, thank you for that!

[–] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Thank you, that's already a nice start! 🙂

But I was mostly hoping to block the UI elements,
e.g. today they added a Copilot button,
and they also moved the search bar,
and replaced it's old position with "ask copilot".

Would be lovely get the feel of the old Github UI back
with all the Copilot references filtered out.

Edit: Figured it out, check my main post edit for the filters!

[–] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 months ago

Please edit the post,
as a few people pointed out already,
it's not true.

They do ban based on IP,
just switch your VPN connection until you can access it again.

They're trying to block third party and privacy respecting solutions though,
but that's been a cat and mouse game for a while now.
