@sehz_ai@thdxr Their problems are with the renderer. Tauri uses the system browser. Electron ships a whole chromium. Has nothing to do with rust or nodejs.
The first step I'd make to "fix" GitHub is organizational: split Copilot and GitHub out into separate entities. Bring in an inspirational CEO from the dev community to lead GitHub. Don't let it report into the nebulous corporate machine. Let the Octocat free.
Copilot is a massive opportunity but deserves its own identity. I'm a big fan of AI and I think Copilot on its own is onto great things, but imo it detracts from a lot of what GH is trying to and able to achieve. And ironically, I think Copilot's deep ties to GitHub are hamstringing its own larger opportunity (despite GH being the largest dev community!).
I'm just an outsider. I have no idea how Microsoft's corporate machine is working today and I'm unfamiliar with the internal politicking. I'm sure there's games on top of games going on, but I also bet you that the social ladder climbers are angling for the "AI" angle and in the process damaging the non-AI angles.
Let the Octocat free.
We’re postponing the announced billing change for self-hosted GitHub Actions. The 39% price reduction for hosted runners will continue as planned (on January 1)
We missed the opportunity to gather feedback from the community ahead of this move. That's a huge L. We'll learn and do better in the future.
Actions is critical infrastructure for millions of developers and we're committed to making it a world‑class compute product. Although we gave away 11.5 billion build minutes (~$184 million) to support OSS last year, Actions itself is not free. There are real, web-scale costs associated with the service and behind the control plane (for logs, artifacts, caching, redis, egress, engineering, support, etc) for both hosted and self-hosted runners. We eventually need to find a way to price it properly while also partnering and fostering the rest of the ecosystem. However, we clearly missed some steps here, and so we’re correcting course.
You all trust Actions with your most important workflows, and that trust comes with a responsibility we didn't live up to. The way forward is to listen more, ship with the community, and raise the bar together.
96% of customers are unimpacted by the change. Of the 4% of Actions users impacted by this change, 85% will see their Actions bill decrease. Of the 15% who are impacted across all cohorts the median increase is $13. From our individual users (free & Pro plans) of those who used GitHub Actions in the last month in private repos only 0.09% would end up with a price increase, with a median increase of under $2 a month. Note that this impact is after these users have made use of their included minutes in their plans today, entitling them to over 33 hours of included GitHub compute, and this has no impact on their free use of public repos. A further 2.8% of this total user base will see a decrease in their monthly cost as a result of these changes. The rest are unimpacted by this change.
This price change goes out across all of actions platform, not just self-hosted runners. It aligns pricing to match consumption and our cost patterns (infra, eng, and support) as usage grows across both hosted and self-hosted.

The average monthly salary in Nigeria, Kenya, and Bangladesh is roughly $470, $393, and $220. Because Twitter no longer meaningfully penalizes accounts that spread lies, incite conflict, or promote hate, and has now monetized engagement, it's created a system where these bad actors can profit. For some folks in lower-income countries, provoking outrage abroad can earn double the pay of a full-time local job. They've effectively incentivized a perfect storm that funds & fuels Skrulls to cause chaos in western society.
AI was supposed to be about developing intelligence, instead they're spending tens of billions of dollars to make it churn out cat videos so we're more dumbed down by social media.
What an insane waste of resources, in all respects.
Guys it is very important that you resist Vibes. Disable your parents’ phones if they tell you they’re using Vibes. Make fun of your friends relentlessly until they stop using Vibes. Fire employees caught watching Vibes.
We’re better than this. Cmon.
