You can try to apply for a grant at Mozilla: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/moss/secure-open-source/
Their list of “audits we’ve completed so far” ends in 2019, though, so no idea if they still have money for this.

Otherwise, sometimes governments or hacking contests, like Pwn2Own, do audits/pentests, but you pretty much just have to be a well-known open-source project either way…

It annoys me in particular, because AI builds on top of open-source pretty much in every aspect. If they’re just going to use this money to buy LLM licenses, that money will not go to the people doing most of the work.

I’d be surprised if there is any language that doesn’t have a decent one.

Yeah, SQLite provides a library implemented in C. Because C doesn’t require a runtime, it’s possible for other languages to call into this C library. All you need is a relatively thin wrapper library, which provides an API that feels good to use in the respective language.

This is bad.

Man, even if I somewhat understand Java as a choice, because it’s basically the lowest common denominator for lots of devs, it is also that. It’s not very fun to code in Java.
I’ve only looked into Spring Boot shortly, but that also looked like the antithesis of fun to me. Tons of boilerplate, heavy-handed processes, a million best practices and documentation to read before you know how to correctly use it.

I mean, if they want to do this, then more power to them. But fun is still important for projects that people do in their freetime…

Is it maybe that they’re using the Lemmy frontend, but Sublinks for the backend? But yeah, still a bit weird…

I’m assuming, this is what OP is using: https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-firefox/

In Firefox, you can use the user.js file to create any overrides you want.

Minetest is a game engine & launcher for Minecraft-like games. It and its various games are developed by a lovely open-source community.
