  1. SnitchBench

    Well, the prompts used in testing ( https://github.com/t3dotgg/SnitchBench/tree/main/prompts) are pretty serious and basically about covering up public health disasters with lobbyists, so I'm not sure this is the kind of freedom you might want.

    Still, the contacted_media field in the JSON is pretty funny, since I can only imagine it's misfiring at a rate of several thousand of time daily. I can only imagine the being on the receiving end of that at propublica and wapo. That bitch Katie was eyeballing Susie again at recess and she hates her so much? Straight to investigations@nytimes

  3. ladybird

    Truly independent web browser

    There are many comments from people wanting to pay for Firefox, but not to Mozilla.

    As an independent alternative, the Ladybird (https://ladybird.org/) browser is being developed and could possibly benefit from more financial support.

  4. A-Frame

    :a: Web framework for building virtual reality experiences.

  5. Floorp-core

    https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp-core [a submodule of their main repo] is noticeably missing any licensing information

    I went there to find out how they're tracking upstream releases, because that's my major heartburn about any fork of one of the biggest attack targets on a personal computer. Since 12.0.14 doesn't tell me anything about what version of Firefox it's built against, I guess https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp/blob/v12.0.14/brow... is the best one can do and since it says 128.anything and the current production release is 140.0.4 I got my answer

  6. Floorp

    All of source code of Floorp 12, the most Advanced and Fastest Firefox derivative 🦊
