This is especially annoying because, while there are other community-developed actions that can do this, it appears this is the only one which was being actively maintained. Suppose I could fork one of the others and try updating it but man, what a headache... Also, the fact that an actively used GitHub Action can just be pulled like this with no prior warning at all is shocking to me. #GitHub should really know to do better than this IMO.

New Open-Source Tool Spotlight 🚨🚨🚨

APTSimulator is a tool for security teams to simulate advanced persistent threat (APT) behavior in a controlled environment. It uses batch scripts to mimic common attack techniques, like privilege escalation or ransomware actions, without real payloads. Useful for testing detection rules. #CyberSecurity #ThreatSimulation

@bagder I can't rank the issues for all of FOSS projects but to add one missing in your suggestions:

The increasing fragmentation of development platforms after a phase of >10 years of concentration on #GitHub.com. I think its decline started with the acquisition by #Microsoft. That wasn't good either but fragmentation makes it harder to get contributions by newcomers who are not yet part of your platform.

#GitHub tip:

Don’t post “Any updates?” style comments on open source threads. Any updates would be there already. Open source is a gift; bugging maintainers acts like you're entitled to results. I just mark such comments as spam.

If you want to see something done, do something to help: research specifications, find an existing implementation, write a test case, draft the docs, write a draft implementation, do some code review, test the PR locally, or just anything to help the project.

I've been playing with Github Copilot, and it kept telling me that my constructors were wrong. I finally got it to say that the reason they are wrong was because C# doesn't support primary constructors, a feature which was introduced to classes in C# 12 (2023)...

In related news my free trial is nearly up 😅
