i noticed it today as well - typing "g" is enough to go to the statuspage. and surprisingly often when i go there by accident, they have an incident…

I notice I sometimes wake up before my alarm because I get an SMS about GitHub being down.

It could be a new Microsoft feature !

For me this started happening when I type "stat" too.

Which surprised me because of the many hundreds of services I rely on regularly that also have status pages.

I can tell it’s getting bad because I went to close some Safari tabs and got confused because the tab next to this was [a dupe of] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49330597.
