Am #GiesingerBerg in #München sorgt ein Verkehrsversuch für politische Debatten. Seit Sommer liegen die Ergebnisse eines Pilotversuchs vor, doch OB Dieter Reiter hält sie zurück.
Trotz reduzierter #Fahrspuren
Bitkom-Umfrage: 71 % der Unternehmen wollen die DS-GVO „lockern“. Klar – wer Unternehmen fragt ... Lockern darf nicht heißen, Datenschutz aufgeben, einfach mal alle Daten freigeben. Datenschutz als „Hemmschuh der Digitalisierung“ klingt doch sehr plakativ. @Bitkom #Datenschutz #DSGVO

TARRANT: [Forcefully] Yes or no?
MAX: Very well. I'll negotiate the arrangements. [starts to leave]
TARRANT: And the combat computer, remember, I want it to choose the battle chamber and run the contest.

For a project to be truly #OpenSource (not to mention #FreeSoftware), it really needs to:
1. Have a *public* issue tracker that enables you to browse and search through issue reports *without* having to create an account.
2. Accept issue reports, with no strings attached. Yes, expecting registration is fine. Yes, expecting some effort to file a good bug report is fine. No, expecting people to ask permission, donate or otherwise put a lot of extra work to report a problem is not.
3. Do not close issue reports as "stale". Yes, it's fine to close a report if you really believe it was fixed, or if you asked for something and the user didn't reply for a long time. It's not fine to run a bot expecting users to jump every month so that the issue report that *you are ignoring* doesn't get closed.
If a project doesn't meet these, it's just a glorified throwaway code.

Finished our first room renovation! Tore out the old builtin wardrobe and minging carpet, replaced skirting board and coving, plastered where the old wardrobe was, laid new flooring, painted. Took ages but happy with it on the whole!
Learnt a lot! Surface on the teal wall is pretty poor due to bad surface prep and thinking paint was more forgiving than it actually is, so will redo that in the new year, and flooring could be laid a bit better with practice. But very happy on the whole!<…
