The Reddit screenshot is hilarious. But it reflects my feelings whenever I want to install a product made by many of these self-proclaimed "open source" companies that bend over backwards to make it almost impossible to install the open version (...and often to discover the crucial features are missing anyway).

That was Sourceforge really I suppose wasn't it - I enjoy GitHub for the opposite reason really (that I am a 'smelly nerd' and do want code more often than an executable, well actually they said '.exe', and I never want that) but I've definitely come across repos, even maintain one^, where they have that kind of real world leaking in, not really realising GitHub's not for them and then getting frustrated by it or just doing strange things.

(^I'm a collaborator on awesomecv, a latex CV/resume template, and we get a lot of PRs from people trying to edit their own information & experience into the example. I keep meaning to set up a template repo of how to use it properly as a latex class, maybe include rendering in Actions, the way my own use of it is basically, and more strongly point people towards that in the readme, maybe even remove the example. But I've been saying that for years, since before 'template repo' existed in fact.)

I had to look it up because I couldn't believe it was real but... https://old.reddit.com/r/github/comments/1at9br4/i_am_new_to...

I made the mistake of looking at the comments of that post’s author. All I can say is quite a few people would probably be glad to know that the author didn’t figure out how to install that OSINT tool.

Interestingly, the OP also doesn't appear to have changed their tone since then. They were even active within the last week.
