The Best 5 Free and Open-Source Bug Tracking Software Solutions

In software development, bug tracking is a critical process that ensures the quality and reliability of applications. From minor glitches to major issues, bugs can impact the user experience, functionality, and even security. To effectively manage and address these bugs, developers rely on bug tracking software solutions. While there are numerous options available, free and open-source bug tracking tools have gained significant popularity for their flexibility, customization, and cost-effectiveness. In this blog post, we will delve into the top five free and open-source bug tracking software solutions that can streamline your development process and enhance the overall quality of your software projects.

all of this discourse about what the sims 2 can handle vs people trying to emulate an open world feel with the magic of graphics or whatever makes me think of my biggest hottest sims take. and that is:

i think open world as a game mechanic in the sims is overrated..... sorry...........

Overnight

Last night I downloaded the new release (26) of the Apache NetBeans development environment, intending to try it out. I noticed it wasn't seeing a few of my projects. Further investigation revealed it wasn't recognizing any projects with a particular combination of build files.

Opening an issue on NetBeans seemed like a daunting task, so I procrastinated it to today. And when the time came, I couldn't reproduce the bug at all.

I may never know whether the issue was solved by rebooting my laptop or by getting a good night's sleep!

I will say that while I like LibreOffice very much and am quite pleased with it I do wish it would let me keep documents, presentations, and sheets in separate apps

there is another pop publishing copyright suit, this time in romantasyland. as this article points out repeatedly, copyright disputes in genre fiction can be very complicated to adjudicate because there are genre conventions in plot, character, and style that might be shared between two works without being evidence of infringement; we all pointed this out in the addison cain a/b/o suit, which this article for some reason describes as '“wolf-kink erotica,” which is based on open-source fan fiction.'

Plot I'm getting so far: Dreamers. I thiiiink this is one of them? Hornet doesn't want us to break a seal. The dreamers want to keep bugs trapped in the dream and tried to trap the player bug in a dream. Killing them maybe breaks the seal? The bug is Doing it For Her (<- imagining the 'her' is hornet. I don't even know if Hornet uses she/her pronouns a bug queen makes a lot more sense anyway)

In early twenty-first century internet mapping databases such as Google Maps, most information is at least partially user-generated. Open Street Maps is an open source, crowd sourced, publicly available dataset of any and all geographic information in the style of Wikipedia, where anyone can submit information for any reason, and volunteer users moderate and validate information, to identify egregious flaws, errors, or outright lies. The entire repository of this geographic knowledge is available freely.

Private Companies (and other Open Source projects) will make use of this data. Some will use it to augment other sources of information. Others will look at the change logs and have internal teams audit the information before applying it to their local map databases. Still others will use it wholesale and unquestioningly. Separate from Open Street Maps, most mapping software has the ability for users to submit new information and corrections directly to the company so that it can be reviewed and potentially included.

In the case of the above, the "Lake McDonald's" landmark tag would almost certainly not have been the work of Google or Google Maps directly, but rather a solitary individual updating the database for their own amusement in a manner which was not rejected by any moderation process at the time of the screenshot. Certainly puddles would not exist in any official governmental dataset.

Most people in the early twenty-first century are completely unaware of Open Street Maps or these sorts of public, crowd sourced data. Of those that are aware, a majority likely do not contribute, in the same way that Wikipedia has far more users than editors.

The parking lot near my house has been flooded so long that Google Maps now considers it a natural landmark.

tbh after learning Cinema4D (Maxon) for like 1 1/2 months now, I gotta say I still prefer Blender. And after I finish this class I will get back to Blender.

Alone because it's free while C4D is expensive af, is besties with Adobe and copied their subscription model as well..... my siblings in hell C4D costs 859€ per year! (except if you have a student license then it's "just" like 100€ per year but they took that offline atm)

BUT then they don't even provide proper support, a lot of things don't work in the software, there are bugs that are absolute major obstacle if you use that in a professional way to earn money with 3D stuff. They neglect functions that aren't popular / cool enough? (they have different render options but both of them still miss stuff while the older one (doesn't eat as much RAM as the new one) doesn't get developed even further)

For that amount of money I expect it to run with 0 bugs and not constantly big changes in UI, functions, names, I think our teacher mentioned shortcut changes as well. It's super complicated and complex to learn 3D modelling, simulation, texturing, sculping etc. major changes would piss me off (when I learned Blender back in uni one of my profs said the shortcut / function cheat sheet I showed them (it's A3 ), looked like a manual for flying a plane. that level of complex... speaking of cheat sheets... it's hard to find such neat compilation sheets for C4D that don't cost money... the blender community shares these things for free in the prettiest layout design)

also I have seen the blender UI looks so much prettier and intuitive now since the last time I used it (was 2.8......). Cinema4D UI looks so clunky in some areas... especially on my 19" screen :/ (I have 2 which I usually would use for the whole software, but the remote app of the school only works on 1 screen).

Cinema4D 2025.1.1 (the blue stuff is from the schools remote PC)

Blender 4.3.2

it has so easy to use tools with helpful, intuitive UI and shading that you don't even need 1000 shortcuts anymore (maybe just 990 ;P)

From the tools and workflow they both are similar. So it's good regardless that I also learn C4D, it will help me get back easier into Blender 😅

just spent i don’t want to admit how long trying to decipher if the background music of a scene in unsleeping city chapter two was music from dragon age: origins

I literally cannot finish my commissions without a working AMM and Nibbles replacer so I guess I'm going to revert again. Thank fuck for the MO2 set up I'm working on.

abuse of software metrics

When software projects judge themselves by the number of open issues, or how long issues remain open, there's a tendency to rush issues to closure and close issues that shouldn't be closed.

I'm seeing this phenomenon with the Assimp project. The project's GitHub repository publicizes metrics like "issue resolution" in days and the percentage of all issues that are open.

During the past month or so, I filed a slew of bug reports with Assimp, mostly related to the ".blend" file format. Recently, the project manager closed all those issues, saying that the .blend format was "deprecated", meaning the project no longer supports it.

But the documentation said (and still says) that ".blend" is supported.

Later that same day they started a discussion about deprecating the format. The causality is clear, and it looks to me like an effort to improve those metrics.

How do I feel about this? At first glance, the effort I put into those issues seems wasted, which is irritating and a bit sad. But if my work pushes the project to be honest about its limitations, perhaps that's best for everyone in the long run.
