You can dislike the joyful name, but you don't get to invent abuse from that.

GH Actions provides compute for software development workflows, that's the product.

ghost orchestrates access to your own Actions minutes for your own workflows. "Abusing free compute" is a misframing lie lol --

Weird that the true abuse here was folks lying like that then abusing the report/flag button on the repo to get it auto-disabled.

It's obviously designed for builds. But you should always take free handouts, so good on you for doing so. Just don't be surprised if you get banned or even prosecuted.

Very telling that after the real ghost mechanics are clarified - own account, own workflows, own minutes, no resale, no bypass - you're left holding "free handouts" and "banned and prosecuted" inventions. There's 0 policy argument there, it's just smear, shame and intimidation language, which has nothing at all to do with me. All about you.

And I of course reject all that.
