I trink this is rooted in forward thinking. If cloud flare gets a monopoly in that position (what it arguably already has), they can project all the power of a monopoly about us...
So this is more about preventing future problems and not solving problems that exist.
If the question is really about "can", than the answer is definitely yes.
If it's about if you should, than it's a clear no. Because storing data in a GitHub Project is not the use case. Nothing in the protocols or the platform itself is optimized for that. Also GitHub could just pull the plug of your project if they ever feel that it is against their terms.
I try to add something to the understand.
Especially in old games, the program code (what happens if you press a button, what happen if your health bar goes to zero...) is often handled in the same memory structure as the game data (sprites, your entered player name, you inventory...) If you glitch a function that should edit a memory block of game data (e.g. reduce the players money or rename a Pokémon) to do it's operation on a program code block instead, you can reprogram the game while you are playing it and even make it a different game.
A different famous example is Super Mario Land. If you glitch trough the level borders the game is displaying all kind of data (game data and program code) as level blocks that you can walk on. Some of those level blocks are distructable, which is setting this memory block to a different value. By carefully destructing the correct blocks, you can change things like how many life's you have. But if you hit a wrong block, the game will potentially crash because you changed the program code to something that doesn't make sense.
This is perfect for people planing to get pulled over and have to explain sone things, on an airport ...
The difference between AI and Coder:
The Coder fixes it's errors. AI is just pretending everything would just run fine.
I love this kind of features, that are not that hard to implement but brings you so much.
In general I would recommend any Debian derivate for beginners that just don't care about how their computer is operating. So if this is really just a question regarding eight Fedora or Linux Mint then I would say Linux Mint because it's a Debian derivative.
That's simply because chances are high stat you will at least find a Deb package for any proprietary software you might want to use. Making it "easier" for the user.
If you install the system for your friend you're free to change the Desctop environment to everything you want.
I thought that's what GIF was created for... Even if the original introduction of it is saying something completely different.
There is a opened feature wish for this https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3071
However I think with all the other (maybe more important) stuff on the line I think it will take a while.
Pro Tip:
Don't just watch other people doing stuff in a video and replicate it. Make your own project, think about what needs to be done and then explicitly search for answers to your questions.
Game Dev is even more about identifying tasks then it is about solving them.
I assume she was excited about all the cool stuff you could make with it and found out it was actually just a cake... Would be disappointed too.
Actually, you should aim for a lower ISO to avoid noisy picture.
