At a glance this morning, it looks like my original issue has 3 duplicates currently open, plus the 4+ closed ones I counted before. None of the developers have interacted with any of the open ones I found. Just users, alone in the dark debugging and fending off stalebot (or giving up and quitting)

#esphome #bugs #bugreports #github #stalebot #aiart

To clarify a bit, the reason I don't argue with #stalebot more than once is simple: Filing a good bug report is hard work. (I'm not referring to feature requests, although those can be hard work too.)

A project that uses #stalebot invariably accumulates tons of valid but closed bugs. A few of them will get accidentally fixed, but most remain real and get lost. (A closed bug looks fixed, so users tend to open a new one.) This feeds the "need" for stalebot because "omg too many bugs!" even though they are just noise generated by stalebot to begin with.

Back to #esphome: Why should I spend at least 30 mins searching their junk pile, plus at least an hour of gathering logs, experimenting, etc?

The humans involved will never look at it, and eventually their robotic receptionist will tell me to go away. I refuse to put more effort into this than they do.

@poofdyke @pkgsrcchanges @linux meaning that people can submit #BugReports and #Issues via the :fediverse: without having to create "yet another account" for a #SelfHosted GitLab/gitea server...

It would certainly reduce the barrier for engagement...

The latest release of #RemafoX has fixed all 8 #BugReports.
So, another round of #EdgeCases were covered!

Let’s see how long #InboxZero will last. 😅
You think your project can break it?

Give it a try & report any issues you encounter in the 'Help' menu:

Heads up devs. Got alerted to a nasty little issue on iOS where a firebase auth of signInWithRedirect is no longer returning a user object. It's broken several of my apps - was able to fix with a signInWithPopup instead but this is FAR from ideal. Might want to go through and check any Firebase SSO apps you might have for user issues and friction. Here's the github thread:
https://github.com/firebase/firebase-js-sdk/issues/6716

@lucaspinto same here about a week ago. Much better. Small bug: it frequently freezes when zoomed in on photos. #metatext #bugreports

If you've found someone who's followed you, and trying to Follow them back doesn't work, odds are they've moved to another server/instance.

Not every client app seems to recognize this.

The official Mastodon app (up to at least iOS 1.4.5) reverts to Follow after Following.

Metatext app (iOS 1.5.1) simply does nothing.

The tooot app (iOS) displays "User Moved" & offers to route you to the new account.

Making it easier to submit bug reports – Adventures in Linux and KDE

If you want to report bugs or make suggestions about Mastodon or the rest of the Fediverse, the best place to do it is on whatever platform the developers use for source code publication and bug tracking.

Developers spend lots of time on these platforms, and they're way more likely to respond there.

For example, Mastodon is developed on Github at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon, so this is the best place to report Mastodon bugs.

Places like Github can be a bit intimidating because they are designed for programmers. However, you only need to use the "issues" section for bugs/suggestions/etc, and that's pretty much just a normal forum.

One golden rule: search for bugs in issues BEFORE you report them. If someone's already reported a bug, give their report post a thumbs up so the developers know that more people want it fixed.

If you aren't comfortable doing any of this, let me know and I'll try to help.
