Hopefully this will get momentum scrolling working.

What drives me nuts is if I slam my cursor against the right side of the window with the intent to click and drag the scroll bar of a maximized window up and down then the 1px wide window border gets selected and the whole window moves up and down. This has been a bug for several years.

When I select there, if I pull away from the window it resizes and won't drag. If I move the pointer up-down on the right or left side, it moves the window and won't resize.

Which seems like a sensible and convenient choice to me.

Maybe it isn't working so predictably for you?


It's definitely neither sensible nor convenient. I expect it to trigger the scrollbar, not move the whole window. The only way one should be able to move the window is to drag the title bar. There's no reason clicking and dragging the 1px window border should ever move the whole window. Every Linux window manager, Windows, and IIRC Mac System <= 9 behaves this way.

About time. It's absolutely ridiculous that this hasn't existed for the past 10 years.

yeah, I thought they were going to provide some sort of rationale as to why they've never implemented this. instead this post just basically goes "yeah, you guys have been asking for this feature for 10 years, and... it's a good idea! let's do it."

My guess is AI powered auto-submission / spam to high value customers is forcing their hand.

Imagine the panic inside Microsoft right now where they're all-in in "AI in everything, everywhere" and the results have been so bad that GitHub is being forced to finally let repo owners disable PRs to make it stop.

Honestly, it's not an area where there has been consensus on when we talk with maintainers. Some folks worry about that reducing the very nature of open source collaboration.

We've had the ability to temporarily disable PR's for a while for maintainers but we felt like it was time to look at this again and see what folks think.


> Some folks worry about that reducing the very nature of open source collaboration.

Collaboration on repos where the authors explicitly don't accept PRs and are going to auto close or ignore them? I don't get it - it's not like you're going to force opensource on anyone.


A lot of GitHub public repo’s aren’t FOSS though.

It is almost like finding 20 year old bugs on Mozilla tracker. That said GitHub doesn't have the excuse of mostly relying on volunteer work.

Also I don't find GitLab that much better. I remember the feature request for "Give option to disable automatic adding of 'Closes ISSUE' to merge requests" closed with "Why would you need an option for that, everyone either loves it or likes manually removing it every time.


Exactly. Yes, please.

Just make the repo private?

"I am fine with my code being public, but I am not fine being badgered by people about changes I have no interest in." is a perfectly valid stance.

That doesn't work. What if your repo is a mirror of another repo?

It's likely LLM generated

Sadly momentum scrolling doesn't work on Zed for Linux. This is a big reason I haven't jumped ship.

It's also a reason I still use Firefox based browsers instead of chromium based browsers.


The human verification script used on this site caused my phone's speakers to wig out.


This reminds me of https://radiant.computer/


Thanks, haven't seen it before, but love the idea of it. It certainly takes the concept a lot futher that I intended with this project. My goal is far is to relyt on well-supported open source tools and frameworks, and give both the software and hardware flexibility for people to create what they need. Think of it like FlipperZero, but for outdoors


Any relation to the Daylight Computer folks?

Not on my side, but it looks awesome. +1 to the e-ink point above.


Just dropping in to say how lovely the Gerrit experience is when compared to GitHub: https://www.gerritcodereview.com/


Each proposal has a revision history that can be viewed so that all comments have context at that point in time:

Unfortunately it means there's no fancy CRDT system: no multiplayer edits for example.

I haven't looked into webhooks yet or browser notifications. That's all stuff that I would build when left to my own devices but I want more user feedback on basic functionality.
