Further, it works really well with "Assistant" / Home. "Play that song that goes ... " "Go back 10 seconds" "Pause" "Resume" "Listen to song X on all speakers" "Play Journey song f…

That seems like a suspiciously large bump. I could imagine a scenario where the numbers are right, though. Is Chrome OS counted as Linux? School is starting up again in many areas.…

Firefox does have their own, documented and seemingly stable remote debugging protocol. I haven't used it recently, but there is the Valence project ( https://github.com/mozilla/va…

Of course, but bug upvotes don't hurt that cause, either. I have a few reasons that I work on open source projects. First, to fix a bug or add a feature that affects me directly. S…

Upvote the bug! https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1372998 I doubt it'll happen anytime too soon, but Mozilla should see the community interest.

In general, they do well, but there are a few categories which they don't seem to "get". They do a good job of trying to remove a lot of barriers to objectivity, even when useful r…

We're eagerly awaiting an alternative to LastPass after the recent sale. 1Password is the best on OS X, but really lags everywhere else (Win, Android), but the total lack of suppor…

Thanks for the write-ups that you did. It's so much more tempting to contribute to a project when there are active public summaries of work being done. Sometimes, I admit, I don't …

Eventual security, perhaps, but that's a loooong stretch-goal. The fact of the matter is, even Servo, which is written-from-scratch and lacks all the UI goodies, is only a fraction…

Actually, the naming/anthropomorphized nature of the sun and the noon--among many other abstract concepts--is still a topic of rich debate. While the English disambiguates this, th…

xmms2 seems like it fits the required bill the best, though the project is pretty stagnant and there's never been a real release. It does seem to get all the big issues right.

HipChat's fatal flaw, IMHO, is publicly-accessible file downloads, even in private conversation, with no ostensible lifespan (that I've seen). While the URL for shared files might …
