When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.

⚠of course there are no guarantees it will be seen by anyone relevant. Hopefully some kind souls will volunteer to proxy the reports.

archive.org forgets it has a mirror (sopuli.xyz)

When visiting this link:

http://web.archive.org/web/https://www.businessinsider.nl/cloudflare-ceo-suggests-people-who-report-online-abuse-use-fake-names-2017-5

the #WaybackMachine said the page is not archived. But in fact it was (and still is) here:

https://web.archive.org/web/20171024040313/www.businessinsider.com/cloudflare-ceo-suggests-people-who-report-online-abuse-use-fake-names-2017-5

This attribute got added to the end of the URL at one point in the process: ?international=true&r=US so it seems the #WaybackMachine is not wise about useless parameters. Perhaps it’s too complex for it to drop params and compare.

Invidious bug breaks downloads on some instances for some particular videos (links.hackliberty.org)

If you try to download video lU4vv7qCQvg on a variety of #Invidious instances, some (most?) redirect you to a realtime player instead of serving up the file. Those instances that cause the wrong action work correctly for other videos.

Fdroid repository has a root-required battery app that is not tagged as such (sopuli.xyz)

This app requires root but is not tagged as such:

http://fdroidorg6cooksyluodepej4erfctzk7rrjpjbbr6wx24jh3lqyfwyd.onion/en/packages/com.slash.batterychargelimit/index.html.en

Cannot report this bug via the official bug tracker for #Fdroid because the bug tracker is Cloudflare-jailed on github·com.

Mastodon bug: several functions rely on popups that get suppressed. Decent browsers block popups. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Some popups can be disabled in the user settings simply by waiving your option to confirm (e.g. to confirm deletes). But if for example you want to add a text description to an image you’ve attached, you cannot.

There should be a global user config option that says “do not use popups for anything”, and users should have the option of getting their dialog boxes in a way that does not clash with popup blockers.

Lemmy bug: notification not given when a previously read msg is edited (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by diyrebel@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/bugs@sopuli.xyz

So Bob replies to Alice, who then reads the msg and marks it as read. Then Bob makes some significant changes to the msg like adding lots of useful information that further answers Alice’s question. Alice gets no notification that the reply was updated.

For comparison, note that Mastodon (at least some versions) notify you upon edits of msgs that you were previously notified on.

Lemmy bug: the body of your msg is trashed if you click to vote on the post you are replying to (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Title says all. You can be in the middle of a lengthy response to someone, and if you click to vote their post up or down, everything you just typed is lost & non-recoverable. Yikes!

dino-im ← no man page in Debian (sopuli.xyz)
submitted 3 years ago by freedomPusher@sopuli.xyz to c/bugs@sopuli.xyz

One of the bare minimum quality standards an official Debian app must have for admission into official Debian repos is that it must have a man page. Dino (the XMPP app) does not. This also means if users query to know what XMPP apps are installed by running “man -k xmpp”, there is no mention of dino-im.

The bug tracker for the Dino project is exclusively on Github, so this bug is reported here.

Electronmail and Wire app are both broken in Debian Bullseye (sopuli.xyz)
submitted 4 years ago* (last edited 4 years ago) by freedomPusher@sopuli.xyz to c/bugs@sopuli.xyz

Debian Bullseye has dropped libraries that electron-based apps depend on. Consequently, Electronmail and the Wire app are both broken in Debian Bullseye.

The underlying issue is documented here:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=895037

Debian developers will never know about the impact specifically on Electronmail and the Wire app because they are not in the official debian repos.

Both apps are managed exclusively in MS Github. Hence why this bug report is here.
