Yeah, I never got the "don't think about the red hammer/apple" joke. Ok, done. Now what? For me thinking/imagining is an active process.

IDK, I heard way stupider and less ethical ideas at work.

I appreciate your willingness to come and try and salvage this situation. What I don't understand is why are you the one doing this here and on GH, during the weekend, and not the PM who created the original PR? Surely they have some input.

And another thing is, why was there absolutely no pushback from your part on any of the issues with the original PR, and why it was merged within hours in that state?

I feel like every day something is broken with GH, at this point.

As far as I remember, WinForms is just a thin wrapper around Win32 with a message loop, i.e. not all that different.

Part of the VC/CM pipeline.

What is that service used for besides SQLite?

Out of curiosity, why aren't all tests open source?

Huh. I had a native Android app way back when on the Play Store, that presented the Factbook in the mobile-friendly manner. Was quite popular in Africa of all places. But ultimately had to first delist it and then close the account altogether, once Google started requiring more and more unnecessary SDK updates, and ultimately identity verification. What a trip down the memory lane.

Damn, that last quip is really poisoning the well here. As a maintainer, not being paid for my projects or contributions, I have every right to decide how and if I want to accept contributions.

So you don't want to maintain a fork, but want a maintainer to do it for free for you and wondering why that PR is not accepted? If you feel so strongly about the project popular in your 'industry', consider providing some incentive for the maintainer to care. And no, a coffee is not an incentive.

Edit: this probably came off quite abrasive, but I'm getting entitled comments from users with no contributions, demanding fixes for their most ridiculously niche issues almost weekly. Like stuff doesn't build with their toolchain from 2014. Seriously? Yet, they can't be arsed to even check the fixes or follow up with basic details.

An another thing I hope is added is some kind of internal karma system. E.g. if a user is spamming multiple PR to multiple repos, or is otherwise being disruptive and reported, their contributions should be flagged for review, or optionally not accepted at all.

I like the idea. Right now it's only possible to require approval for actions for new contributors. But once they get a PR in, they're free to spam new PRs that can clog resource-expensive pipelines. Would be nice to have something like 5+ PRs merged and be a contributor for 1 month before a PR is auto created and actions are allowed to run.
