    It has no place in a source code repository… It starts small and gets worse. Always.

      So far you guys have complained about something I can’t replicate, and nobody actually tested except for me.

      And then a feature which has no real impact on real developers, just people stealing code

      Now you’re complaining about this. Seriously, it’s just nitpicking.

      I didn’t hear anyone complain when Firefox added pocket support and VPN options into their config.

      Again, really not a big deal at all… There’s a reason no real developers are complaining about this stuff…

      Also why doesn’t it have any place here? It’s a service GitHub offers related directly to development. And it needed a big red square around it so anyone even knew what op was referring to.

      Next thing we know you guys will be complaining that the submenu contains links to their other services like issues and such (someone actually complained about GitHub offering too many features last thread… And they got upvoted for it simply because they claimed Microsoft was using features to extinguish other services or whatever).

      The first guy complaining in the first thread didn’t even have much source code commits on GitHub (and it seemed like it was a free account). But was making a huge deal about everything

      If you’re genuinely upset, write about it on the front page of your repos. But, I suspect the people complaining barely use GitHub anyway honestly

        People did. I did. Firefox’s Pocket integration is always the first thing I disable on a fresh install. You’ll always find people complaining about the tiniest things :-)
