Edit: seems like they fixed it, it works for me

I marvel at the proficiency with which Microsoft tears down every piece of software it touches nowadays.
I’ll get downvoted for this, but I think they take good care of github and Minecraft. As for the rest though… not so good.
I haven’t played Minecraft for a while, but I was under the impression that Microsoft was progressively turning the Bedrock version into a microtransaction hellscape. If I’d have to reluctantly commend Microsoft for anything, I’d rather go for Visual Studio Code.
Bedrock indeed, but you didn’t even have Bedrock edition before Microsoft, so you can’t really say MS fucked it over since it was always kinda bad. Java has been pretty nice and the “big content updates” direction under Microsoft really rejuvenated the game.
It’s nice that they brought Minecraft to practically every device. It sucks that they didn’t replicate redstone
Oh, yeah bedrock sucks. Java edition is still great though. And yes, VSCode is good as well.
The bedrock version is bad, but they have recently given everyone that owned one version of the game the other version for free and now sell both versions of the game for the price of one
… Didn’t they revoke the Minecraft licenses people purchased because they didn’t manage to migrate their Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts in a short amount of time?
People were given three years to migrate, I wouldn’t quite call that short
People have absolutely taken a multi-year break from Minecraft before.
Really though, why is there a time limit at all? Google still allows you to convert old Youtube accounts to Google accounts, why can’t Microsoft do the same?
Lost access to my OG account because I didn’t find out about this until a month after it was too late.
On top of that, even if you did manage to migrate your account, the M$ Minecraft accounts get deleted without warning after some time (2 years?) of inactivity. Guess how I found that out.
The MS or MC account?
Because my MC account is very dead, while my MS is semi active.Edit: (Dead meaning not deactivated)
Oh yeah, Minecraft fans will tell you just how much they love their handling of it…
As a Minecraft player, as long as they leave java edition alone I’m fine with it.
They deliberately removed code search for not logged in users almost immediately. Just recently they removed cloning without an account, so now updating my computer requires signing in to github.
They have been awful stewards.
My company owns their infrastructure and we don’t have issues like this and our production servers are working like oiled machines and yet they want to move to 3rd party cloud services for reasons that have yet to be explained
a brief conversation:
Cloud good, very good for dynamic sizing up and down.
but sir we don’t need to scale up and down for our business.
but cloud good.
I’m worried that when the bean counters see the price difference between AWS and self hosted stuff they’ll find AWS more expensive and we will have to deliver a year’s work for 10 scaled agile teams again, but in our machines
I’m guess you have a fully staffed infrastructure team team, so the reason that has yet to be explained is that they want to downsize that team.
We use cloud services because we have never had a fully staffed infrastructure team.
The explanation is guys in marketing buying fancy lunches and rounds of golf for the guys in C-Suite (Source: A tired IT admin that has had to talk his management team off of this cliff due to fancy tech demo dinners from unsolicited cloud/software companies)
The fewer magic blackboxes are around, the
- (happy variant) easier it is to train new people and the less mental burden there is on existing staff
- (sad variant) easer it is to fire people.
This thread pivots hard from version control jokes into a somber discussion of the future of Minecraft.
I have found my people. You all are amazing.
What do they mean by “Carry On.”?
It’s already over. The guy in the left had both, the High Ground and the higher posture.
He’s liable to get top-heavy and just fall over. Guy on the right has a nice center of gravity.
He sacrificed sure-footing for a killing stroke.

Someday soon: Claude is down
What are you planning? Downing the Dutch songfestival singer Claude? /s
ackshually you can run most of the CI locally
Don’t tell the boss, jerk.
Doesn’t matter if the mechanism that checks the repo and sends the trigger message to the runner is down.
how does that affect running the CI locally? I don’t mean triggering the cloud CI manually, I mean running the commands manually.
My general contribution to the conversation is GitHub should have a donation system. Once a week, some kind of donation raffle happens, and the winner gets GitHub taken down for “reasons” for 4 hours, then 5, 6, 8. Microsoft profits more, and it slowly becomes a technology-and-money-induced vacation day.
Or and I know this sounds crazy, we (I actually mean you) collectively agree on laws that gives everyone a couple of paid vacation weeks a year.
People forget git is a DVCS, you can send PRs to each other without relying on Github.
Wait what
Yeah dog pretty much everything on the github website is an interface to display info held in the .git folder of the website.
Thats how theres github, gitlab, gitea, gitlab, forgejo, etc etc. There are even applications you can download to visualize info in git that run on your local machine, and only see youe local filesystem.
Maybe what I misunderstood is where git ends and github starts. I know there are other hosting platforms, and I’ve used a lot of git visualizers. But what I’ve never tried to do is use git with multiple developers without connecting to some 3rd party server. Is there some peer to peer functionality built into git or did I totally misunderstand your original comment? Or are you literally sharing the git folder via network file system, thumb drive, etc?
Git doesn’t have a concept of a preferred repository; your local copy is exactly as valid to git as a git server hosted on github.
The originally intended workflow as I understand it involved generating patches which would be shared via a mailing list.
In practice there will generally be a repository that’s considered “canonical” for a project, whether that’s the one on the computer of the lead maintainer or some hosted solution.
A basic git server is essentially just a repository owned by a restricted user with SSH access granted to maintainers.. This can allow users to push and pull from a centralised or semi-centralised repository in much the same way as GitHub.
Yes the original use case is sending patches back and forth on the Linux kernel mailing list
There’s a reason we value the local development environment.
You can run everything locally, the only use for the cloud environment is for CD.
I’ll be honest. I just enjoy seeing my auto updater script work whenever I push to main and the Web page updates itself. FEELS SO GOOD TO JUST DO A PUSH AND HAVE YOUR CHANGES UP IN 3 MINS.
Well yeah!
That’s the CD part :)
We’re rolling the same thing, except with all our cloud infrastructure, our code, and various integrations.
Automatic deployments are so great, as long as you trust your integration process and test suites.
It works on my machine!
Ironically, I find myself writing more code when CI is broken and I don’t have to babysit it.
