That is just a trick to get people sign up for ShitHub and login. -

@mcc I actually built the feature that warns you about blocked users, back when I worked for Github for a minute. Could not have predicted this use case!

@mcc done, although in the process of blundering around looking for the block button I have apparently inadvertently opted into copilot

@mcc oh great idea actually, it means we can do a double take on a project's reliability

@CoralineAda @mcc Thank you so much for this, Coraline - you may have just saved humanity!
Hmmm. Perhaps we could use the GH API to give us an early warning when a much loved codebase is compromised. Maybe starting with something like this:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH_TOKEN" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
"https://api.github.com/search/issues?q=is:pr+is:merged+author:claude&per_page=100&page=1" \
| jq -r '.items[].repository_url | sub("https://api.github.com/repos/";"")' \
| sort \
| uniq -cThis gets us a very lazyweb list of recently infected repos, although there are only ten results returned, with no pagination. That's a bit less than the 2.3 million commits reported in the web UI
1 biner88/chart_sparkline
1 davidray/twitter-bootstrap-calendar
1 laudspeaker/laudspeaker
1 ripienaar/free-for-dev
4 segmentio/action-destinations
2 uptech/flutter_app_analytics
(etc)Also
author:claudeis of course but one vector for the hungry ghosts...

@mcc Does anyone know if this is triggered by Clod opening a PR or Issue, or is it actual merged commits?
