As you might know, Aseel, alongside @…, helps us carry out our verification calls at Gaza Verified.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsFor 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.
@hikingdude@mastodon.socialI'm usually donating to OpenSource software when I install it. Now that I switched from OneNote to Joplin, I installed it on 3 devices. - To be consequent, I now have to donate 3x my regular amount. 🤔

It's not just because she's on #SocialBC 😊, and understands #DigitalSovereignty. 💪
It's not just because she's a Liǧʷiłdax̌ʷ woman, boots-on-the-ground social worker, #health worker, and City Councillor.
It's not just because she wants #UBI for all Canadians.
It's because she's the future of the #NDP, and of #Canada.
She is a bright light in a dark time. She gets it, all of it. She's smart and tenacious and she works really really hard.
There are a number of great candidates for Leader of the NDP, but I think Tanille is one of the best. She's the 'dark horse' to use one of those outdated terms that pundits love.
Join up and participate in what will be one of the most important leadership races in NDP history... at probably the most consequential moment for Canada since WWII.
