Wait, there's a GitHub "feed"?

None of the bad things mentioned here have happened to me using GitHub on the daily. Totes agree it's probably not great to depend on a business for free hosting, but it's also pretty straightforward to move in the future if needed.

Do you never open https://github.com/ where there is a "Feed" in the center of the site?

I guess some people just don't use bookmarks

[–] verstra@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

I've just realized that no, I don't use bookmarks anymore. I used to use them, but nowadays, I just start typing the name of what I want to open and firefox omni-bar will find it in my history.
