🥴 Oh, the joys of bug reporting with Apple: it's like playing whack-a-mole where the moles gaslight you into thinking they're fixed unless you constantly babysit them. Developers suggest boycotting the Feedback Assistant – but who can resist the thrill of shouting into the void, hoping for a miracle? 🤪🔧

Apple randomly closes bug reports unless you “verify” the bug remains unfixed

70% báo cáo "lỗi" thực chất không phải lỗi — 40% đã có câu trả lời trong tài liệu, 20% là spam hoặc nội dung vô nghĩa, 10% trùng lặp. Chỉ 30% là lỗi thật (5% nghiêm trọng). Sau 2 tháng phân tích, mình tạo BugBrain — AI tự động kiểm tra tài liệu trước khi phân loại báo cáo.

FLOSS #MaintainerLife public service advisory:
If you're filing a potential bug upstream in #GNOME, particularly on rapidly-improving apps like GNOME Calendar, please test the latest version, unmodified by third-parties. #Flatpak helps.

Don't come at me with a 4-years-old version cowboy-patched against our will by #Linux distros like Mint; I will send you downstream, like this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1526#note_2640160

What's the official way to report bugs in the #Mastodon web software? I just muted an account, and my feed jumped back 9 hours. That can't be by design.

Tôi vừa phát triển một công cụ báo cáo lỗi với gợi ý gỡ lỗi từ AI. Đây có phải là một ý tưởng hữu ích không? Công cụ này là một plugin trình duyệt giúp chụp màn hình và tự động lấy thông tin quan trọng như log console, yêu cầu mạng và thông tin trình duyệt. Tính năng chính là "Gợi ý gỡ lỗi từ AI" phân tích lỗi và cung cấp gợi ý ngay trong báo cáo. Mọi người nghĩ ý tưởng này có hữu ích không? #BugReporting #Debugging #AI #DevTools #SideProject #CôngCụPhátTriển #GỡLỗi #TrợGiúpPhátTriển #PhátTriểnP

Quoting a colleague responding to a "bug report"er

"Additionally, if you want to be taken seriously, you may want to examine your own setup first. The "From" name in your message is literal garbage text, and the account username appears indistinguishable from spam. If the goal is to present yourself as a credible
security reporter, this does not inspire confidence. Please verify your own outbound configuration before advising others."

  • Actual behavior
  • Steps to reproduce, if known.

Having another strange issue (this time not network related).

If I attach an external Keyboard (Keychron Q8 ISO-DE) to my MacBook Air M2, it has a wrong Layout. The key on the left, next to shift should be "<" and ">" but is "^" and "°" - it's working fine on the internal keyboard. But it looks, like the system recognizes both keyboards as ANSI whereas it's ISO.

Removing `/Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboardtype.plist` and going through the keyboard-identification-wizard didn't help (as in: didn't changed anything).

Created an Bugreport, which is open since weeks: FB16272721 - may a friendly apple employee jump in?

Generally, it's no fun when upgrading a project and you find a 3rd party package that breaks/has a bug.

But, it's very reassuring AND appreciated when someone has jumped in and filed a detailed, well-written issue detailing the exact problem you are having.

Nice to find out that I didn't break stuff and I'm not alone.

Thank you bug reporters!
