The beginning of Aperture Science

This talks about one issue. You seem to be confident that this one case is representative of the whole FOSS space? I am not.

Can you elaborate how it would be much easier in closed source software? Because as far as I can see, it's different. In most cases, you need an actual person instead of an online persona, pass interview and contracting, and then you're still "the new guy" or Junior in the company or project. It's not like closed off from public eyes means anyone can do anything without any eyes.

At the end, pointing to their Bugzilla issue tracker

I've always found Bugzilla incredibly inaccessible. It's so overloaded, so complicated, so noisy with unrelated and irrelevant things. It always baffled me how projects use it and keep using it, and especially projects like Thunderbird and Mozilla, for such a long time.

I regularly use bug trackers, to report, comment, or work on. When I see Bugzilla, in most cases, I give up/leave right away.

Consequently, I find it ironic that they point to Bugzilla at the end.

That being said, I think this video is a good intro to accessibility, common issues, and study findings.

How do you guys view Bugzilla as an issue tracker, bug tracker, and work task tracker?

One file, almost 7k lines of code.

https://github.com/microsoft/BASIC-M6502

This assembly language source code represents one of the most historically significant pieces of software from the early personal computer era. It is the complete source code for Microsoft BASIC Version 1.1 for the 6502 microprocessor, originally developed and copyrighted by Microsoft in 1976-1978.

Was there ever a reason to use OpenOffice after LibreOffice split off?

Baffling that the chain did not immediately respond with "we introduced new rules requiring all our stores not to allow smart glasses or other recording devices in their treatment rooms". Seems so obvious, yet we see nothing like that in the article.

They paid hard cash so it better be a hard disk!

Are you attempting to indicate D much better than Nim or from D to Nim?

Feature richness as a user, documentation as a developer.

If you want to talk about possible risks to your supply chain, a single maintainer that’s grossly underpaid and overworked. That’s the risk. The country they are from is irrelevant.

Total nonsense.

A good open-source maintainer won't act maliciously, even when underfunded, until they are forced to.

A FOSS project that is underfunded has its own problems. But if it becomes unmaintained, you can take over or react. The other risks are assessable.

Russia is an oppressive regime that continuously attacks other parties through hybrid warfare. Who knows what environment and pressures the maintainer is under? The more important the project is, the more value it has as an attack surface.

How can they think and publicize "nah, underfunded is more important"? And even going further than that, claiming the country is irrelevant?

I have difficulties finding open-source references in the article!? Where is it?
