Popularity on GitHub can open valuable doors for developers and startups. Underground stores sell “stars” on the platform, offering coders a way to literally fake it till they make it.

    What the heck is this paywalled article doing here? That’s some reddit-level shit.

        I’m sure we need a bot for lemmy or entire fediverse that will search posts like this 👆 and do comment with “normal” link. That will be great. I saw something like that in the Masto for YouTube.

        Is this supposed to be treated like an image? Doesn’t load for me on Sync

          It’s a link to a paywall removing service/proxy. It should not show as an image.

              Thanks for the heads-up. It was my lemmy client that did it.

      It’s not paywalled here, try using porn mode, clearing that site’s cookies or something like archive.today.

          I thought that was catchier than “Private Browsing/Incognito/InPrivate/gift shopping mode”.
