>>106496185it's not autistic to write a program that accepts a single URL and outputs a file.it's autistic to expect it and everything to be a gui.
Niggerfaggots shouldn't be anywhere near raw code or repositories that host raw code.
>>106496509I bet you enjoy the feeling of ignorance.
>>106490864
>>106496449>have to click into a file and specifically click raw>somehow not the point that is being madeWhile I agree complaining like a retard in this fashion is dumb, it SHOULD just be simply right click and save as. There is no need to make it more complicated than necessary for a simple function. Why doesn't github default to the blame layout in the first place? Why the fuck do you have to click into something to bring up the exact same fucking files AND THEN HAVE TO CLICK RAW?It's redundant.It's like having an FTP, clicking on a folder and it loading a file manager window to browse the files. It makes no sense from a technical standpoint or a logical one other than to confuse people that aren't already familiar with githubs SHIT design.Get fucked.
>>106495271all these linus videos just have to be out of context. does he at least start the video with 'hey, i am deliberately going to try using this website or linux as if i have never touched either before and barely understand computers'?i have developed elitism. my first thought is that if it can prevent brainlets, then this is a good thing. what value would come to linux if this is who is appealed to? we get more retards that run scripts as root without even reading them straight from github?
>>106490405He's right though
>>106496185there are guis available for yt-dlp, yet you chose to complain about the one that isn't. not everything is made for you
>>106487650>>let's not make an executable for reasono algo
>>106497814THIS.Finally! Someone with a functioning brain. Thank you.
>>106487650So what's the actual reason for it? Why isn't there a front-page download button instead of going to the release section?
>>106487780I did this and it went to a Downloads folder. How am I supposed to get to a Downloads folder?? They should make a Downloads folder exe
>>106501258because github is primarily a code development/sharing site. binary releases are secondary.even then, github has a feature for what you're describing, called github pages, which is basically a static website host. a developer can make a github pages site with a big green download button if they want to
>>106501313All github software needs to have a "download App" button which sends you to the App store page! Apple would have done this!
>>106487650>>106487780I made a low effort reply to one of these posts on orange siteI kept getting angry replies like this for years afterwards until the post eventually got locked
>>106501301>They should make a Downloads folder exeAndroid fixes this. It's ideal for phoneposters.
>>106501412
>>106501412>>106501441these people can't be real
>>106501352some do. it's up to the developers' discretion.also worthy of note with this example is that devs can also put download links/buttons in their readme, which is the first thing you see when visiting a project page
>>106487650im gonna be honest it is -kinda- non obvious as it is behind an additional click but this doesnt justify a while thread on it 'not existing'.imo the 'code' button is kinda confusing and should be replaced by 2 buttons -> download source and download release (when applicable)
OP is retarded but has somewhat of a point. The purpose of github is just for devs to share and store code, not host downloads for production releases. But now devs are either too lazy or ignorant to host the software the end user downloads on something like mediafire or their own website so they just say fuck it they can download it off github.
>>106501594this is probably 99% of github's bandwidth
>>106501576Thanks jeetanon, now I will install the Github App so then I can install the other App which lets me install the App I wanted
>>106501610>jeetanon?>install the Github App?>so then I can install the other App?
>>106495271which video is this from?
>>106501643I'll try to use a dialect you would understand. Sar many Apps using Java programming and the needful is to download the Java Apps
>>106501610if you don't know how to use git maybe you should be sticking to the stuff on fdroid/google play? i refuse to believe people actually use iphones outside of cloutseeking/social gatherings. if you actually do then maybe you're not ready for this board either.learn how to use git from terminal, its really useful.also compilers, and other project management tools. learn at least one programming language and use it regularly, doesn't matter which. if you can't decide just use *rolls d6* java. don't use ides i.e. visual studio/eclipse. they implant bad habitsand prevent you from actually learning the language. use something like nano or xed. vim works too but i don't like it personally.your life will become much better.
>>106501678i don't know if you think i'm someone else, or what you're talking about. the screenshot is of a web browser, and the buttons link to the respective app stores
how can a shit thread like this get so many comments?
>>106501692I actually have a different problem now. I bought this used cup from the store App, but when I received it the top is covered with no opening. On top of that, there's a big hole on the bottom. How can I drink out of this?
>>106501708it's upside down, nigger.
I've set up workflow jobs in my repo for programs that aren't even mine, 'github actions' basically downloads all everything, compiles and publishes a release for me.How is this all for free?
>>106501717But I can read "wow <3 I" right there in plain English on the side of it so how can I be sure
>>106490405he is right and you all know itI just want a big green "Download" button at the top, above all the code shitI don't care about filesI don't care about commitsI don't care about branchesI don't care about """build instructions"""just give me the exe file, that's all I wantevery project should have an auto-generated exe file made on the github cloudand any public project that does not provide that or does not compile to windows would get bannedfuck off with that "HOW TO BUILD ON SHITNUX :^)"literally nobody cares about that platformif it's not on windows it shouldn't exist on github

>>106495369THAT'S NOT AN EXE EXE HAS GUI COMMAND LINE LYING GARBAGE
>>106502187pray tell what extension should a command line program use?

>>106502553NOT .EXE
>>106502028you know that this is program for OSINT investigations, right? If you are too braindead to install python (which has GUI installer with exe) and then type a single command to download sherlock package, OSINT is not for you. I would say you are right if it was some crucial update for one's insulin pump, or a program to pay taxes, but it is not, and OSINT is not something that your average person should do.
>>106502028Sounds like the Microsoft Store is more your speed, kiddo.
>>106487650What do you even need github for? Just tell AI to make whatever program you need, retard.

>>106487650My best friend is unironically filtered by github. It's fucking hilarious. Every time he needs something and I link him to the releases page of a github repository he decides he doesn't want it anymore. This has happened at least 10 times. I'm almost certain it's because he doesn't know how to download it. I don't want to believe he's too stupid to click on the .exe asset on the page but I'm afraid thats how it is. If it doesn't say DOWNLOAD with a big green button some people just can't do it. This is why those obviously fake download button ads are still a thing because people still click that shit I'm sure of it.

>Preface Immomoria: I know it's kind of word-salady rambling-ishy, but I trust you'll find your way through maze.possibly wrong thread(/board/site), but as someone who doesn't have a lot of intensely intimate experience with coding software.VScode is kinda fun to explore through, but it's still a pretty hefty apple no matter how you slice the piekle.I think it might be helpful to have some option(in VS or as it's own separate platform) to continue with the "just enable/disable the extensions you are/n't working with atm to accomadate your current workflow", but embrace a potentially 'bold ux'™ design theme that's familiar to an MMO experience.>Would also like to see websites that let you dynamically swap between different visual fx(like cursor trailings, periodic aural glows emanating from the cursor or X elements.>Maybe a site that acts as a hub to different visual fx you can choose for the browser that persists across different websites*>*assuming the user isn't already exposed to a sufficiently coerning amount of other vulnerabilities beyond cross-site-scripting or whatever, and instead engages in protocol:YOLOWhere you can create different profiles/setups/loadouts that can hold different 'talent trees', which could include attaching logical operative relations among different xtensions(load java compile if !c++ and !html, load java2.themeskin if time > 09:00:00), and assign a visual display zone that can show you what buffs(theme skins, keymappings, xtensions) you currently have active, with the helpful addition of having some customizable features to the buff-display-zone, like toggle for enlarging it on mousehover or a pressed keybind assigned to either magnify the desired info, or perhaps to fetch out-of-view pieces to fill the screen in a compact, info-dense ephemeral display-spread, or some kind of navigable pane with a draggable/slidable FrameOfReference
>>106509378that can help organize particularly maze'd projects by offering a helpful visual NavMap that has a functional attribute relative to it's form given- The different format variations would be a file directory-like system where different nodes of information(like the MMO buffs tracking active xtensions/profiles/etc) are arranged with different logic gate pathing to determine the overall function to be desired when a given state of parameters is met. This can be arranged as- but not necessarily exclusive to- a classic 2d tree branching waterfall graph, or it could be mapped to a more comprehensive 3d shaped design, where different colors, textures, shapes and more can be used to assign variables to( Red Line connecting 2 nodes is a =!, but maybe a 'sawtooth' path connecting 2 nodes could act as a conditional qualifier, like X=>0.Could set up addons for creating 'debuff zone', where certain apps/settings/features are given residence with some kind of static and/or dynamically updating Warning.Watcher that has an acceptable amount of "ATTENTION: XYZ APPS ARE CURRENTLY ENABLED", as a frame containing the relevant icons associated to their respective xtensions, and maybe have the option to set timer reminders that will visually/audibly alert again in Xminutes(something that might be of particular interest to those who are working with programs that should be 'off' unless explicitly needed to be enabled for the given task.Really though, I think a lot of mileage could be made by launching artists at the project to help fill up the personal gfx options with preferenced art pieces.In WoW TalentTrees panels, they fill the background the tree's nodes are placed over with thematically relevant en-chant-ARTe. Maybe you need a profile that is monsterous in scope, but is overall fairly minimally involved as far as complexity goes, where each node is basically a Yes/No bidirectional pathing split, and you just want to remove all the commands/settings EXCEPT for xyz,
so you can easily assign hotkeys to different checkpoints on the project-map, without worrying about overlapping keymapping, for situations when you want to quickly hop between locations in the file-directory(like, perhaps for viewing an extensive outlining of a project's Help-Documentation Literature, or to better catalog knowledge to a more absorbable style as set to the user's preference.Instead of the typical "menu-ribbon"(file/edit/view/...) placed in the top left of mcsft apps, those menu options could be treated as reconfigurable inventory slots to properly adjust form/function to taste.Could be like some way to warp the pixel-real-estate pathing to bend and curve around an established drawn fence; so imagine if a 'swathe of Text' had it's area given some physics attributes, so that anything that has it's pixel-estate overlapping together would instead enact a "Text-Wrapping" setting; and the Text Wrapping zone could forseeably even be a map-mobile item that can be dragged through other Text-Wrapping zones, or misc. frames like random tables, editors, etc, idk, I was going somewhere with that in my head, but the connection seems to have dropped mid track.Anyways, my lack of personal SW-IDE platforms might be critically imparative "by-way-of death: by 1,000x paper cuts" over-engineering intended for the desired end goal of providing >a helpful, intuitively simple, yet powerfully capable digital envitronment suited for Hisuness and dressed for Herness,>with a Phun-moDule greenlighting personal party projects whenever festivities seem approriate*.Thoughts?Opinions?Unprompted personal essays detailing personal traumas that are guaranteed to stamp the room with 'awkward aroma' for the rest of the night?I know it might come across as ridiculously silly, or maybe 'already implemented' is closer accuracy, but go on, tell me how much you love it, I can take it.It's ok to say it's a paradigm revolutionizing game-changer, I promise I won't cry.
