Why I Relocated My AI Startup From Germany to Poland?
When a German funding agency told us that “AI alone is not innovative enough,” I knew something was deeply broken. Over the past 25 years, I’ve built a careerBYTESEU (Bytes Europe)
Nick Wellnhofer: "I just stepped down as libxslt maintainer and it's unlikely that this project will ever be maintained again. It's even more unlikely with Google Project Zero, the best white-hat security researchers money can buy, breathing down the necks of volunteers."
In the olden days of Open Source and Free Software, bug reports would come as a fix attached to a problem description. Just sending a bug report and demanding a fix was seen as lazy and wrong.

in reply to Jan Wildeboer 😷 • • •And no, money doesn't help. When companies like Google and Apple pay bug bounties but don't send a fix upstream and instead demand that the maintainers fix stuff for free but have to respect their arbitrary embargoes, meaning working in secret — that is wrong on so many levels.
If you find a bug, propose a fix. If you don't propose a fix, no bounty. And every bounty paid out should result in the same sum sent to the upstream project. That would be a good start.

A bad fix is often worse than no fix at all.
But worst of all, of course, is that we don't find the bug, our customers do.
Hey ho. That's what software is all about, I s'pose? 😉

in reply to PatternChaser • • •Open Source has no customers. There is no business relationship. If the bug is in your product (and you use open source libraries), it is now your responsibility to fix it. You can ask upstream to help, but there is zero obligation of upstream to do that.
Which is why, IMHO, it is crucial to have good relationships with upstream. To offer them help, if needed, instead of demands, embargoes and deadlines.
