Is it just me or it is not a very impressive document. They basically "find and replace" a few terms by hacker and malware.
We could summarize it by : respect the existing law.

I did a quick search recently to better understand the difference between Quora's Poe vs GPT, and I found a pretty confusing, contradictory and illuminating answer.

So you can experience multimedia files, legacy formats like VRML and flash and all that beautiful and weird and gleefully part of our good old web.

This is a fantastic project, and we need more of those.
Let's keep in mind that 50% of the world's population did not connect to the internet in the last three months (last un UN starts).
On my end, I worked on an Android version since getting & maintaining a Raspberry Pi or a Linux machine is difficult in remote communities - where finding reliable access to a network or electricity can be tricky. Still, you will see those inexpensive Android phones everywhere. If you are curious: grey-box.ca/uni Early stuff, but we managed to deploy and test in 12 countries, and we are looking for volunteers for some of our digital divide open-source projects.
Re:Why are developers expected to estimate tasks at all?

Since no one mentioned it, I have a good news for you: it's a sweet spot between what a project manager needs and a team member needs, it's called a PERT estimate.
When asked to do an estimate, give your optimistic estimate, realistic estimate and pessimistic estimate.
This allows for a better idea of the risk and padding needed for this task (you don't need to add a buffer in any of those numbers) and the manager can use that to calculate a weighted average (very simple formula that you can find online).
It's in the PMBoK, so if you have a project manager, he/she should know about it.

If I may suggest, there is a solid tool called "Antidote" that does French and English, has a dedicated app and a chrome extension. It got me through my master.

I sent a message on Twitter asking him a bit more information about his license. (I'm working on a similar project to translate Ukrainian medial terms to French and English)

They previously used mail to send patches. I was also curious about a Gitlab/GitHub comparaison, but there is none.
