Ladybird appreciation post 🐞

All photos taken in our orchard vegetable beds - there were aphids, aphid-farming ants, and aphid-eating ladybirds all in attendance, along with other flying, pollinating insects enjoying a glorious afternoon.

Sadly, it appears Richard Jefferies wasn't as enamoured, as they weren't really mentioned in his writings!

Quite by coincidence I was reading up on #ladybird again, when I noticed this:
https://ladybird.org/posts/changing-how-we-develop-ladybird/

They no longer accept outside code contributions. I wonder whether it makes sense to consider such projects #opensource, regardless of their license.
I also don't know how they intend to grow their team or replace team members if they no longer have code contributors.

Andreas is a smart cookie, I guess he'll make it work.
For me this looks like another good thing ruined by #ai.

Wer in letzter Zeit viel mehr Werbung im Netz sieht, der verwendet vielleicht einen Chrome-basierten Browser, auf dem jetzt die beliebte #uBlockOrigin -Erweiterung nicht mehr läuft (danke, Google).

Bis der #ladybird browser draußen ist, macht es deshalb Sinn, jetzt zu #Firefox zu wechseln. Für wen sich FF der Standard-Variante immer etwas langsam und umständlich anfühlt, dem kann ich #Floorp empfehlen: https://floorp.app

Floorp is kompatibel mit allen Firefox Addons, also auch mit denen im Bereich Sicherheit: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/extensions/category/privacy-security/

Und mit diese ⬇️ 6 Erweiterungen macht das Surfen auch wieder Spaß.

Closing pull requests to public is just a clear-cut way of saying you're going to make contributing to upstream harder. So, people, just a reminder: don't mistake open pull requests with review processes.
