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.

"After the 8-bit MOS Technology 6502 that powered the Apple II around 1980, Macs used the 16-bit (later 32-bit) Motorola 68000 around 1990, then 32-bit (later 64-bit) IBM PowerPC around 2000, later settling with Intel’s 32-bit x86 and 64-bit x86-64 around 2010.
We are in 2020, not even around 2020 anymore, and we should be able to spend an insane amount of money to buy Macs powered by ARM architecture CPUs – “finally!”, as some of those headlines online would scream."

A good friend of mine has the Muppet character "Beaker" as his avatar. For reasons.
He offers me advice. I offer him advice. We chat. These are #ChatsWithBeaker

<- Me: Nope - going to browse The Dark Web™. Gotta wear a hoodie when you browse The Dark Web™
<- WIFE <rolls eyes>

Still working the kinks out of transporting my computing home to a new laptop, and this one popped up today attempting to generate and view #Emacs #org as HTML. I recognize the words as english, but can anyone parse the meaning?
org-open-file: Please see Org News for version 9.0 about ‘org-file-apps’--Error: Deprecated usage of (browse-url file)
needless to say, search engines were no help in finding Org News, for any version.

So I think I'll need to read up on it a bit. I understand that "Passkeys" try to do something similar as SSH pubkeys.
But do you know a good technical explainer of what's going on and how it works?
(Yes, I could search myself but I am looking for recommendations of articles you have read that you found helpful and clear.)

Äh... das uBlock-basierte AdNauseam funktioniert jedenfalls nicht mehr. Vivaldi wird, falls es das doch noch nicht haben sollte, Manifest V2 Support und damit funktionierendes uBlock verlieren. Komischer Schritt zu einer komischen Zeit, Herr

To Mozillas new handlers: Good fucking luck trying to turn a browser with the *GECKO ENGINE* as its base into an agentic AI browser, we have problems with getting 10 year old CSS standards on boarded, you think we can handle an AI that can browse the internet??????
