A similar product would be Birdbuddy (a birdfeeder with a camera and logging functionality), albeit very commercial and closed-source.

Waterfox also works well!

I remember using Waterfox in the past, I think because they were keeping an old UI. Is that the draw over Librewolf?

For me the draw is that Waterfox has partnerships in order to provide funding so if/when Mozilla truly loses the thread (which some may argue they have) WF can keep going on its own, whereas the Librewolf devs have stated that if push comes to shove they can't maintain an entire browser themselves.

waterfox is downstream of firefox and can't meaningfully match mozilla's maintenance of the core browser

librewolf devs are just more honest about it

Has WF said as much?

I guess it’s good to warn about bad actors early and throughly!

My first thought was “ah, this must be a JVM for Kotlin by the creators of Kotlin (Jetbrains)!”

… and run all kinds of scripts to verify the code, ignoring any pre-configured linters.

That implies that Claude writes better code by default, which isn’t necessarily true. Especially as projects get bigger, you can easily end up with unmaintainable LLM-written code if you don’t actively intervene and know a cleaner way.

The “(all genders)” bit is probably just based on the fact that they translated the German job ad (in German you have to be more explicit with the male/female/all versions of titles, because the default is usually just the male form). So, it’s not a qualification, but just a way to be inclusive to applicants of all genders (we have a diversity problem in our industry).

The salary is bound to the limits of the public salary bands (collective agreement), that’s where the maximum comes from. (And, you can live quite well in Berlin with ~100k € per year.)

Yep, the German version’s heading is a bit of a mouthful:

Technische*r Direktor*in (m/w/d/x)

Wir suchen eine*n technische*n Direktor*in, der*die die Technologie- und Forschungsstrategie der Sovereign Tech Agency federführend gestaltet und vorantreibt.

Thank you!

I think it’s implied that accepting these kinds of PRs will take time away from working on actual improvements to the codebase. So, on the long term it’s better to be strict with these kinds of silly contributions, and focus on changes that matter more (e.g. features or fixes).

Many people care and should care. Of course if a piece of software (or any project/tool, really) gets a lot of usage, it’ll indirectly make its creators more powerful. I wouldn’t want to make a person more powerful if they support horrible causes (like in DHH’s case), especially if there are many alternative routes to choose from that are less questionable.

I disagree. Technology is inherently political, and it’s valuable and important to get informed and reminded about the many horrible people that are directly or indirectly tied to any mentioned organizations and projects.
