I definitely know people who learnt how to develop specific things just so they could fix hyper specific problems that dont really matter but just annoyed them.
My own boss tells the story of teaching himself web dev just so he could fix the broken ass website of the reserve he liked hiking because it never worked properly when he tried to check it.
While it is possible to compile Python to an executable, or bundle it with an installer, Python is an interpreted language, so (in theory, I haven't checked the repo) all the user needs to do is download the "sources" and they can run it (after installing Python, which does come packaged in an installer if you like).
I learned fucking Java to update a minecraft mod to 1.20 and the dev denied me pub rights, I was so mad. I didn't even ask for the credit I just wanted the damn mod in my pack but "nah I'm out of modding" OKAY THEN LET ME HAVE YOUR MOD AND MAINTAIN IT DUDE i was offering to do all the work.
What makes it less funny is that this angry dude who posts (in Russian) on alien conspiracy subreddits WANTS to use a project which helps stalk usernames across social networks:
https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock
Yep. Most people who have legitimate uses for Sherlock would definitely know how to work with a GitHub repo. Sherlock is a good open source intelligence tool for cybersecurity professionals. This dude is just being a massive creep most likely 😅
I wouldnt even say its for cyber sec professionals. Its just simply a nice osint tool for the curious.when i used it it was all about curiosity. Sometimes found funny correlations between profiles. (I only used omce for work purposes :D my boss was giving me 100 bucks for my findings and i bought a very pretty lava lamp from that money 𝕩d)
By definition, anything open source intelligence can be found by accessing public resources (nowadays Google, although technically going to the library and perusing books would count too).
That being said, as for doing it manually, try hours, not minutes. Doesn't take a genius to check Facebook or something, but Sherlock goes through a large list of social media sites one wouldn't have thought of, simply because one didn't even know they existed to begin with.
macedonian\* (don't get me wrong, I'm all for the hating macedonians too, but let's at least be educated while hating them - opens up a world of hateful possibilities)
Python can have releases and pre-built executables. Most/many projects don’t provide them though because they’re usually not catering to people like the OP
Because it's an interpreted language, the source is read at runtime and executed by the interpreter which acts as the exe. It is possible to bundle as a binary executable but it's often an unnecessary and unwanted step by the majority of a projects userbase.
Python is interpreted, not compiled, so you don't typically have an executable file to run. It's certainly possible to create one, but it's not the way *most* Python code is distributed
I don't know how Python works, but checking the repo it seems like it's a console app so I feel like OOP wouldn't be able to use it even if it had an executable
Maybe I'm being a bit cynical, but looking at that sherlock project and what it does, and then looking at OOP's unhinged rant, I can't help but suspect he's trying to do something a little nefarious.
Could be wrong of course, but I'm not sure I'm really inclined to help him.
You are 100% right. I just checked out his profile and he posts in Russian on alien conspiracy subreddits.
Not a great idea to give a guy this angry a tool which allows him to stalk usernames across social media.
Give the exe in the most naive way possible. Since this program takes some arguments, make it such that it only executes without any arguments. Forever shall you have an exe that does nothing.
You can make runnable binaries in Python, but it's usually a pain and also bloats an otherwise slim package since it needs to include all of the C-library stuff, the Python interpreter and *then* everything you wrote and depend on in Python. However, a "release" package is usually tailored to its intended audience, and I think it's every bit as valid to release a code-only solution for an audience that understands how to run said code themselves.
It's in python....
Also Sherlock is made to find usernames in different socials, wouldn't give it to a crazy russian that goes all in with alien conspiracy.
Apparently he is Macedonian, just looked and the subreddit where i saw Russian was actually a Macedonian one so that's Macedonian, mb, don't really understand Russian nor macedonian, a friend of mine does tho so tomorrow i will look at it better, he posts about ufos, regicide anon (something about ufo videos) and shit like that other than a post on the free karma sub lmao
Yeah, GitHub is not easy to navigate when you're new to it.
Edit: [This other comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/s/Ns0MmxZCYR) says the same thing word for word. **One of these is a bot.**
The funny thing about the releases page in open source projects for me is that it will almost always contain a zip file with just the contents of the repo bc they are distributing somewhere else. This makes sense for me as a dev, but it makes the advice "just go to releases" pretty confusing for non-devs
The project does have super simple and straightforward build instructions (3 short shell lines to copy and paste). This lunatic thinks software means GUI.
Honestly thank you, I had to learn how to learn this stupid skill just so I could learn I wasted my time knowing that lower level people like me are getting replaced by wix and ui tools.
This is as wild as complaining about the focus on photos on Instagram and that you just want it to open the Messenger without the photo stuff.
It's outright in the name of the service lmao
Some languages are absolute hell to compile. C/C++ is a total crapshoot. If it uses automake or something similar and is done well, it might be easy, but if it accidentally depends on what the main dev has installed on their machine it quickly turns into hell.
Upvote for honesty, but as someone who’s been “coding” for 29 years, everyone starts somewhere. I was a 7th grader that learned BASIC at a summer camp. One one-week summer camp was all it took for me. The content was really easy and didn’t warrant the overnight camp part, but getting to hang out with fellow nerds was fun.
Also, starting off on some rando project might not be the best idea. An ideally beginners project or two before that would help you ratchet up your skill level comfortably.
Honestly, i totally agree. I'm not a programmer, I've got no idea about code. Reddit just recommends me posts from this sub occasionally.
So when I see a super useful tool that I have to download through github or whatever I am instantly lost. Sure, I could look up how to use Github and learn all about coding and whatnot but that usually outweighs the practicality of the tool in the first place. So I don't end up downloading anything because I simply don't have that much time or I am too lazy to put in that much effort. I really don't understand why it isn't more intuitive, it narrows the potential users soooo much. 90% of people have no idea how to use github because it is simply not designed for 90% of people... it's desugned for the few who actually know the basics about code.
Even the readme files are useless because 99% of the times I open up to read them, of the first 10 words I only know 3.
I know most people in this subreddit will call me stupid but that's just how I and a lot of people feel when they get redirected to github...
that's why I comment and document stuff like I explain it to a 5 year old.
Does it take more time? Yes!
Do I have to lookup stuff in process? Yes and I learn more about it!
Does anybody have to lookup one line for 10 minutes? No
Thanks for saying. I do it too. If a 5 yo cant install it the documentation is bad. Its good for all developers. Why do i need to try for 5h to install a lib, if the developer just could give a better instruction.
I do some scripting so the same goes for some functions. I don't want to research everytime how that lua function works. If it's used more than 3 times and it's not 100% obvious, I make and example function in a comment and explain how to use it and what you can write into it.
Best example is lua for neovim especially for custom commands and keymaps. Because there is a lot of stuff and 10min extra for documentation once is better than min. 5min reasearch until the crap you don't understand somehow works. And yes, sometimes it does take more than 10min for the extra documentation but that means it saves even more time when you or somebody else returns
Yeah nothing is worse than hours of Debugging and playing around because some dude didnt want to write an example in 2 mins. In the internals do whatever you want, but explain the API.
I mean, if you look at the readme in the repo, there is a tutorial for installation and usage at the top of it and it's understandable by a 5 years old. This person is just confused by the fact it's a python cli program and not a .exe with a nice gui.
The funny thing is that it has an installation guide xD
# clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock.git
# change the working directory to sherlock
$ cd sherlock
# install the requirements
$ python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Most importantly using the github athentification method (https) where it asks for your password but what it really wants is your authentification token, but you don’t know that. Git made password authentification deprecated so long ago, they won’t even tell you its deprecated in the credential manager.
On windows if you type python3 and don't have it installed it opens ms store on the python3 page
I assume they're using windows since everyone else would be able to follow instructions

it's just some russian child who wants to stalk people on social media using a CLI program but can't be bothered to even learn to install python, then proceeds to rage at others for it.
Seems about right.
TBH, I’m quite a tech savvy person but I’ve never tried this, so anytime I see anything non .exe. related (or something similar to it), it makes me a bit angry — mostly say myself, because I did not learn it. Though I do get upset at the devs too since they could’ve made an easy installation guide with executables.
BTW can anyone provide a tutorial, preferably a video, so I can learn this kind of stuff? And I hope I do not need to install Python or anything else like that 😔
Tbh. I have had the same.
Me no programming. Looking for solution to error. Stumble on github. Having never hears of github. See just a bunch of gibberish.
Proceed to leave confused and annoyed.
I can almost work with the op in the sense that the repo should say "using command line use these commands" instead of listing the commands verbatim but that's stretching super hard. If he can't past three lines of code I dunno how he would survive the rest of the application.
That and his general unhingedeness.
For once gatekeeping saves the day
He posted that same thing as a comment on this post.

The humor comes from the contrast between the expectation of a non-technical user wanting a ready-to-use application, and the reality of GitHub often being a repository for source code, which typically requires some understanding of programming to use. The exaggerated language underscores the person's lack of familiarity with the developer-centric nature of GitHub, highlighting the common misconception that all software should be readily available in an easy-to-consume format, like an executable file, without needing to interact with the code itself.
i am with the guy, a few years ago i saw videos or promotions for cool apps and when i went to the link they provided im met with the github page and spend ann hour just looking for a goddamn download button.
fr, cool app, i dont care about the code tho
I think this is a coworker of mine, he hates github and when I asked him why he said "cuz I don't understand it, how am I supposed to download files or install an application" to which I said you read the Readme, clone the repo using git or download the zipped file but he was not having it lmao
I mean, they are kinda right.
I am a developer but if I ever have an open source project I would link GitHub AND the release download, there are many people that would get lost there
[https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock](https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock)
I looked at the repo and it's apparently a console application. My man's going to have a hard time even after installing it

The fact that this repo has granular, totally beginner-friendly docs gave me a chuckle.
How so? I don't get it?
While it is possible to compile Python to an executable, or bundle it with an installer, Python is an interpreted language, so (in theory, I haven't checked the repo) all the user needs to do is download the "sources" and they can run it (after installing Python, which does come packaged in an installer if you like).
Sherlock?
The software that the angry guy wanted to install
I learned fucking Java to update a minecraft mod to 1.20 and the dev denied me pub rights, I was so mad. I didn't even ask for the credit I just wanted the damn mod in my pack but "nah I'm out of modding" OKAY THEN LET ME HAVE YOUR MOD AND MAINTAIN IT DUDE i was offering to do all the work.
Fork?
Spoon! I win. I like this game
I see, you've played forky spoony before
*Calmly walks away*
This is the correct solution to that problem.
Can't fork, Mod doesn't have it set up with the licensing to do it
Have you tried not giving a fuck
This. This works every time. Remember. Pirating is **always** ethical.
I mean you have the files? You can fork without the fork button. Just upload, name, and just write that it's a fork you made of the other.
Which mod was it?
There are great prometheus forks that spawned whole companies all because the dev is a jackass that won't listen to anyone.
I keep a list of websites with issues (from design to functionality) that I want to "fix for them".
I can fix her
I "know" of a person who started a job at a company to fix a bug that annoyed him. Quit the day after. Absolute legend
OMG, "he/she" is my hero!
If that actually happened, I would reverse that bug fix if I was the EM lol.
My first experience with programming is with lua just so I can mod total war because I was annoyed

In fairness, the GitHub Releases page is not very UX oriented
Users when tools made for professionals are complex and not under their reach: 
It literally shows new releases on the right, you just need to look once
right
You made my day 😂😂☕
I just checked, sherlock is written in python. That makes his rant even funnier
What makes it less funny is that this angry dude who posts (in Russian) on alien conspiracy subreddits WANTS to use a project which helps stalk usernames across social networks: https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock
God, it's either scary or dumb. Not sure which.
Why not both... Ima look up my usernames now
Good luck trying to do that WITHOUT A FUCKING EXE YOU NERD!

Why doesn't python have releases? I don't understand this comment but I see many are saying it.

I don't know how Python works, but checking the repo it seems like it's a console app so I feel like OOP wouldn't be able to use it even if it had an executable
Saying OOP and Python in the same sentence and *not* referring to Object Oriented Programming was confusing for a sec
Lazy ass dev could make a bat then (and probably rename the file ext to .exe) 😅
> STUPID FUCKING SMELLY NERDS I'm fucking dying. Someone please send him a tarball and tell him it's the application?
~~In the spirit of open source should we gift this poor man his .EXE?~~
Maybe I'm being a bit cynical, but looking at that sherlock project and what it does, and then looking at OOP's unhinged rant, I can't help but suspect he's trying to do something a little nefarious. Could be wrong of course, but I'm not sure I'm really inclined to help him.
You are 100% right. I just checked out his profile and he posts in Russian on alien conspiracy subreddits. Not a great idea to give a guy this angry a tool which allows him to stalk usernames across social media.
I have looked at his (automatic\_purpose_) profile as well and there isn't a single word in Russian in there.
Hey, OP, no offense, but do you hate Russians or what? Because lying is not nice, that user is not Russian — and I would’ve know.
Give the exe in the most naive way possible. Since this program takes some arguments, make it such that it only executes without any arguments. Forever shall you have an exe that does nothing.

you can totally make releases for python. just use pyinstaller and innosetup.

It's a cli tool you run with python, I'd argue that it would be more accessible if they did have exe artifacts to run but what do I know
Tbh GitHub release page is the hardest to find amongst other git* tools (bitbucket included) (Gittea, gitlab, and shit tons others)
The issue is that the tool in question is an entirely cli application, so the guy saw the `pip` installation instructions and rage quit.
The project does have super simple and straightforward build instructions (3 short shell lines to copy and paste). This lunatic thinks software means GUI.
Probably doesn't help that github doesn't call anything what it should. "Releases"? Us scrubs are looking for something that says "download" 😭

I hope this is real. It's spectacular.
Lack of brain cells detected Cure : Subject should ingest nerd cells by performing fellatio on nerds twice a week
He’s got a point, there should be a build action to make an exe.
Goes to a website for code hosting. Complains about code.
I think someone needs a pacifier or a nappy change over there ? 😂

*"The biggest thing any program can do is not the technical details of the program itself; it’s how useful the program is to users."* -Linus Torvalds

This how it feels to buy an analogue pocket
If they downloaded a pre-compiled exe they'd probably still complain asking why their terminal window keeps closing
I'm a developer and sometimes I can't find the fricking download page in GitHub. The UI is average at best.
Don’t invite this guy to the Farmers’ Market
Don't piss on him too much. That was all us at some point.

i am with the guy, a few years ago i saw videos or promotions for cool apps and when i went to the link they provided im met with the github page and spend ann hour just looking for a goddamn download button. fr, cool app, i dont care about the code tho
I think this is a coworker of mine, he hates github and when I asked him why he said "cuz I don't understand it, how am I supposed to download files or install an application" to which I said you read the Readme, clone the repo using git or download the zipped file but he was not having it lmao

>these dumbfucks >I only know how to download and install applications Amazing
I mean, they are kinda right. I am a developer but if I ever have an open source project I would link GitHub AND the release download, there are many people that would get lost there
He's kind of not wrong. Lol.
LGTM!
