Joe Brockmeier@bagder Conspicuously missing is Microsoft's complicity in creating the problem they're now saying they'll solve.

technomancy@bagder the biggest thing github is doing to address the slop problem is to crater their uptime so that people start seriously considering moving to other forges
Jerome (He/Him)@bagder I would’ve loved to see a stronger opinion on community built systems like vouch, which is a far better first step to managing contributions than a delete button for pull requests.
F4GRX Sébastienwe and our 121764873 agents take the health of our maintainers very seriously.
LLMs generate too much noise so the best solution our local LLM has invented is (tadam) :
pinned comments in issues.
Andreas Scherbaum@bagder "It’s the sheer volume of contributions."
No, it's not. It is the AI Slop you help create. But oh well.
Renaud Chaput@bagder scale down drastically their push on AI? Allow maintainers to disable Copilot entirely on their repos? 😈

Lennart Poettering@bagder it's so laughable, so cringe that they brag about "pull request diff performances". These days github is barely usable anymore for patch reviews. The pr review tool is broken and slow. The two distinct versions they offer are in competition which one is more broken. Half the patch context links they have never get you to the right place, and they collapse anything by default that's larger than a couple of dozens of lines. So many clicks for everything. And the slow UI reaction times...

Marty@pid_eins @bagder i remember having to review a massive pr. it was lagging everywhere. it got to a point where i wrote a basic neovim script to review PRs. Take it. It is buried in my dotfiles: https://github.com/MatusGuy/dotfiles/blob/master/dot_config%2Fnvim%2Fgithub_review.lua
the only caveats are: you must have gh and jq installed; i think it only works for linux; you cant do multiline reviews (because i didnt implement it); oh! and you need to know how to use vim :(
CyberFrog@bagder I really hate this blog post, it's about 50% fluff talking about how AI ruins open source projects, and then a list of random minor performance improvements that github wants to pretend will "help solve" the AI slop problem
the only thing even approaching a useful tool from them here is temporary interaction limits for certain users, the rest feels like corporate PR trying to sell me on github caring somehow
