Verkehrssenatorin erfindet Verkehrssimulation: Berlin kapituliert vor Chaos um neuen A100-Abschnitt
Rund um die Anschlussstelle Treptow herrscht auch 100 Tage nach der Freigabe des neuen Autobahn-Abschnitts weiter Chaos. Inzwischen scheint klar: Eine Verkehrssimulation vor ihrer Eröffnung hat es nie gegeben.

Oh, wow :-( Man wird wohl auch in diesem Fall keine #freespeech-Rufer rufen hören …

Guten Morgen,
Nacht solala, es wird langsam wieder, kein Fieber und keine Gliederschmerzen.
Heute ist bei der jährliche #FreeSoftwareDonationDay ! Dinge, die ich gerne und kostenlos nutze, bedenke ich auch gern mit einer #Donation oder Neudeutsch

Not the "new year's resolution" I wanted to make 😢.. let's really hope this gets better in a few years:

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.

#FreeSoftwareAdvent I couldn't work without LibreOffice or Thunderbird. The former is a fantastic and comprehensive office suite, and the latter is Mozilla's IMAP and POP3 email client.
I suggested using them years ago at a work meeting, and since then, Microsoft tools have been discarded in favor of their opensource alternatives.
