github-drama (community fork #2)

This is a curated collection of "dramatic" GitHub interactions.

Contributing to github-drama

This repo is intended to point out controversial situations that come up in the world of software development, and not to harass anyone. Sometimes tensions build up in online interactions, and the intention of github-drama is to preserve links to such discussions so people can discover and read them.

Phylogenetic tree

This repository is neodrama/github-drama. It was forked from github-drama/github-drama repository in August 2023, when github-drama organisation was made private due to someone's report. The github-drama/github-drama repository was forked in 2022 from nikolas/github-drama.

How do I find drama?

Go into a GitHub project's issues, and sort by "Most commented" or "Most reactions".

What qualifies as drama?

There's no agreement on what's considered dramatic enough to be included in github-drama. There are plenty of "non-serious" GitHub threads, where the usual GitHub politeness gives way to reaction GIFs and one-word replies, turning into something like a 4chan thread, but less funny. Common signs of drama: many unconstructive comments, many downvote reactions, removed or hidden comments. If a repository's maintainer has locked conversation on a thread, that's also a good indicator that it could be included here.

  • Summary:
    • Portainer developers add an obnoxious e-begging button and call the built-in begware a new feature, not a bug.
    • Kubernetes users install ad blockers in their development environment to suppress the nagware.
    • The community then creates new ad-free forks and Docker images.

  • Some users can't figure out why they can't copy or paste with the clipboard manager and can't find any fix. Several people with the problem complain, and the problem is widespread due to the Ventura update. Finally, after much struggle, the issue is closed.

  • Summary:

    • One GitHub user responded, "That doesn't respect my freedom™ to use a better client." Many reacted to the reply with a thumbs-down emoji. (Source)
    • Another GitHub user commented, "What is your problem with using civilized language?" A qBittorrent maintainer marked the comment as abuse. (Source)

  • Summary:
    • Google is prototyping a browser fingerprinting API that detects the browser's build, extensions, and overall environment around it.
    • This API allows for websites to collectively exclude all browsers and users that do not use any browser, extension, or OS approved (attested) by Google themselves, essentially forcing all browser developers to register their web browser to Google for testing, and disallowing most Chromium forks.

Slackadays/Clipboard/issues/14, archive.is, archive.org, ghostarchive

  • Summary:
    • The issue evolves from being a straightforward in-progress task to something completely unexpected.
    • A maintainer on Arch User Repository comes out of the woodwork to elaborate on a problem specific to Arch Linux. Everyone involved goes back and forth because the key to the issue is non-obvious and a real hack due to how Fedora searches paths.
    • The original issue opener manually compiles the clipboard manager and posts cryptic logs until someone puts a patch into place. However, every window gets squished and jumps around whenever Sway WM users copy text due to an unpleasant feature inherent in Wayland.
