GitHub Has a Microsoft Problem. Is It Time to Look Elsewhere?

There’s a second filter policy fetched over HTTP every time the app loads. It isn’t in the git repository. It’s unauthenticated and world-readable, so anyone can pull it. Right now it carries 552 user accounts, 2,275 username patterns, 54 instances, 97 communities, 289 keyword patterns and 351 domains, with every category set to hide matches rather than flag them. Not collapsed behind a click. Simply absent, with no indication anything was removed.

Oh, is that why my self-hosted Tesseract instance had stopped working while DubVee was down for maintenance?

Tale as old as time.

Bitwarden has been in decline for a while. This is definitely not the first sign.

I run a Jellyfin server and get a lot of use out of it because I recognize the benefits that offers compared to just browsing the filesystem and playing files manually. Media streaming, tracking watched/unwatched state, etc. But I just cannot tell what benefits this offers for video games. If it was a game streaming server (like Steam Link, Moonlight, etc.), I would get it. But I just don’t think I am the target audience for this tool. More power to you, for anyone who finds this useful.

EDIT: I can see this being useful for a game you have to update. I only play completed games, so that is not something that I am used to doing often. But for someone who plays games like Fortnite, Stardew Valley, etc., and has to install updates often, I could find a program like this to handle tracking updates useful.

Are people reinstalling the same game often enough to want something like this? Maybe I am just not the target audience, but this looks like a solution in search of a problem. I imagine I wouldn’t find much benefit to this over just searching in my NAS file system for the relevant install files when I need them.

For what it’s worth, nothing in that link under the self-promotion rule mentions using that tag. It is only the link under the AI rule that instructs you to use one of those tags. If a developer did not use AI at all, they likely would not follow that link to read further into the AI rules and would therefore never see any rule instructing them to use some [CBH] tag. If you want non-AI developers to do something special, you should also mention that requirement under the relevant rule instead of just hiding that under the rules that only AI-devs will read the details of.
