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.

budapest_connectome: Budapest Reference Connectome 3.0
A parameterizable consensus brain graph, derived from connectomes of 477 people, each computed from MRI datasets of the Human Connectome Project. Nodes are brain regions, and edges are weighted by the number of "tracks" that run between two nodes, as well as fiber length, fractional anisotropy and the number of occurrences in each of the 477 individuals.
This network has 1015 nodes and 54480 edges.

Starting the year with a drive-by contribution to the hamster time tracker.
I find that noteworthy because I'm going back to the time tracker I enjoyed using until 2018, when due to the project announcing EoL (IIRC) I switched to charmtimetracker.
Now that too is EoL since 2023, but hamster development did continue after 2018, so hey, could have saved myself a lot of annoyance by sticking with the software I like and patching it up where needed.

149 resulted in executive actions partially or fully blocked,
while the court left the action in effect in 102 cases with more than 100 still pending
