Once again, curious that you bothered to remember something that is relevant to community inside jokes and take dumps on that, even bothered to remember a number, but did not bother to read up on what you're dumping on.
FYI #1 It very much is a standard oAuth2 flow. Just GHs 'always on' message is unfortunate, and that's all there is to it. There's been topics like https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/37117 on this ever since they had been introduced. Which, again, you could've encountered if you put your energy into good faith, instead of focusing that bad faith mojo on a small community. If you really feel like proving how "sane" and above "kewl" you are, go take your dump on GitHub - i.e. the one actually responsible for those misleading messages.
FYI #2 Your vote would not count anyway, because only community member votes actually get included in scoring. Although as an outsider you'd been welcome to leave feedback.
I didn't have to "remember," they're on the tab right next to this one. I'm sorry you're butthurt about someone wanting to vote who isn't a part of the l33t insiders club. Anyway, right under the game in question it says "Voting for this edition's games is in progress - sign in to vote on this game." so how would any sane person know that it's only for insiders?
Sorry I raised your bloodpressure about something that doesn't matter to you since I'm an outsider. I'll send you virtual flowers using my totally safe GitHub App
GitHub has been a partner of the competition for years now. They help actively promote it, participate in providing feedback to contenders, integrate it with the platform (https://github.com/topics/js13kgames). The competition is organized by https://stars.github.com/profiles/end3r.
But yeah, sure, you're free to tell yourself whatever you want.
And no, it's not only for insiders - thus the message. Outside votes get whitelisted when they meet the compos fairness criteria. It's not a popularity contest. Your vote would not count on this basis (amongst others).
