Unable to spoon this repo

[zachbr]

I can fork the potato, but I am unable to spoon the potato. Please advise.

[drtshock]

i'll spoon u

[externo6]

:+1:

[drtshock]

someone pls advise

Looking for PR to fix.

[RowenStipe]

@Zbob750 Take computer to bed and spoon with it, thus spooning Potato.

[zachbr]

That's an ugly hack. Potato only deserves the best, enterprise-grade, code. Stay in your lane.

[28andrew]

Have you tried converting the project to jQuery?

[stuntguy3000]

I believe this project can benefit by including all the Apache Common libraries.

As everybody knows, reinventing the wheel is stupid - which is why a Java project without Apache Commons in every class is utterly inefficient.

[TheDiamondYT1]

@stuntguy3000 But wont Apache Commons make the Potato too bloated to eat? I mean, the potato is good already.

[zachbr]

@TheDiamondYT1 Depends. If Apache Commons is shredded bacon or something we wouldn't care that it's bloated. After all, a potato bloated with bacon is awesome.

[TheDiamondYT1]

That's a good point.

[DrZed]

Also cannot spork the potato either, someone add that TODO.

[MFernflower]

rewrite the potato in erlang?

[TheDiamondYT1]

@MFernFlower Potato is already cooked in Java with a sprinkle of Maven, why re-cook it?

[SimonBaars]

You'd need to submit a feature request to GitHub if you;d like to spoon the potato I guess.

[TheDiamondYT1]

Spoon your computer.

[DaMatrix]

What about knives? They exist too. It's hard to enjoy a delicious potato when it doesn't fit in your mouth.

[Formula350]

Necroing since no one seemed to state the obvious solution: Update to Mashed Potato. This will allow you to fork, spoon, and spork the Potato, with equal usability regardless of utensil, to top if off! 😄 :potato:

Get it... to top it off..... "Potato Topper"............ N-no? cough Alright, I'll go >_> lol

I have zero coding knowledge and am simply here for the lawls... 👍

[drtshock]

Still waiting a resolution.

[ItzSomebody]

Proposed solution: We need to tell github to change the "Fork" button to a "Spoon" button on Potato day or April Fools.

[dariasc]

We should create a Chrome/Firefox extension

[SuperOP535]

document.querySelector('a[href="#fork-destination-box"]').innerText = 'Spoon'

Problem solved

[SimonBaars]

document.getElementsByClassName("btn btn-sm btn-with-count")[3].innerHTML = 'Spoon' works perfectly for me (throw it in the browser console and watch the magic happen)

[SuperOP535]

What a copycat, stealing my idea and just changing the selector.. @SimonBaars

[mdcfe]

[z,v,q,w,a,f,i,r,t,d,...b]=["ZG9jdW1lbnQ=","Y2FsbA==",atob,"noopS",["cXVlcnlTZWw=","ZWN0b3I="],"bWFw","am9pbg==","c2xpY2U=","U3Bvb24=",window,"aW5uZXJUZXh0","dWwucGFnZWhlYWQtYWM=","dGlvbnMgPiBsaTpsYQ==","c3QtY2hpbGQgPiAq"];d[q(z)][a[q(f)](q)[q(i)]("")][q(v)](d[q(z)], b[q(r)](1)[q(f)](q)[q(i)](""))[q(b[0])] = q(t);()=>p

Seems to work fine for me.

[SimonBaars]

@SuperOP535 Everyone can see it's your idea as it's right above my comment, but your command just didn't seem to work in Chrome.

[SuperOP535]

I tested in Chrome..

[mdcfe]

Can confirm my solution works in Firefox, and as it doesn't use anything Firefox-specific it should also work in Chrome.

[SuperOP535]

Can confirm that Firefox is the best browser.

[zachbr]

Nearly 3 years now @drtshock, still awaiting resolution of this critical issue. Many production services are frozen as a result.

[drtshock]

Open to PR

[wyatt-herkamp]

Wait am I the only who takes Potatoes to bed to spoon?

[Formula350]

@wherkamp Spooning of Potato while in bed almost always leads to forking, which results in premature injection of Sour Cream code :see_no_evil:

[GoodOldJack12]

Perhaps we can make the potato ISpoonable

[crxssed7]

any update on this?!?!?! i cant spoon :(

[ghost]

Soon I will make a Chrome extension with a direct implementation of the beta github feature, spooning, to allow for spooning the repository. It will also implement requests to the github API to automatically spoon the repository and cook the potato to your liking via the subprocess API which will be directly added to the project. It will build the potato and inject an automatic cooking controller into the bytecode with polymorphic bytecode obfuscation to be undetected by the Windows Defender antivirus and many others.

This will be the most advanced potato spooning platform which will also include a social media platform to discuss your hackery.

this is a joke lol

[Formula350]

@AcaiBerii Suggestion to Grow potato instead of Build. Synthetic Potato -- i.e. built, be it 'man-made' or by AI -- simply does not have the same real-world results as an Organically Grown one. Potatoes that are built require too many third-party addons (cheese, spices, sour cream, etc), and end up being more trouble than its worth.

Also, in my findings, any Potatoes that list the Yukon Gold lib as a dependency, do not behave favorably with my Taste Buds hardware. Whether or not that is something to do with my specific hardware, or whether it's a core issue with the library, is undetermined currently. (However, the data thus far indicates it being the former.)

Just my two cents. :}

[rospino74]

Since @SuperOP535 solution no longer work, I propose a temporary workaround:

const fakeFork = document.querySelector('.octicon-repo-forked');
fakeFork.nextSibling.nodeValue = "Spoon\n"
fakeFork.parentElement.setAttribute("aria-label", "Spoon your own copy of drtshock/Potato to your account");

// The modal title should also be spooned
const fakeModal = fakeFork.parentElement.nextElementSibling;
fakeModal.querySelector(".Box-title").innerText = "Spoon Potato";

Btw, looks like Github is conspiring to stop us from spooning the potato.

[iop3]

Seems like I can spoon it 😉

[3kh0]

@zachbr please close this because we have found a way to spoon the potato
