I've just found this website, called https://nostalebots.xyz, talking about how stale bots are annoying the author of that blogpost

I don't agree with the tone, its only vaguely making its point, and doesn't convince me with a good argument. GitHub has had stale bots for years, and why is it all of the sudden only now a problem?

has multiple protections regarding this, such as CLAs, codes of conduct, and of course, the ethics of the developers themselves, I highly doubt that a specific GitHub bot would erode all of that.

So, I agree to disagree with the author.

Question! Why should local governments use taxpayers’ money to buy proprietary, closed software from a single vendor? And what happens to citizens' data? A solution is to move to free and open source software like and – which is exactly what Schleswig-Holstein is doing: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/04/04/german-state-moving-30000-pcs-to-libreoffice/
