GitHub, your Copilot sucks, and so does Dependabot!
Dependabot opened 3 pull requests;
merging the first one caused conflicts in package.json and package-lock.json that must be resolved;
while trying to investigate further, the second pull request got closed as it suddenly seemed obsolete.
Dependabot: "Looks like these dependencies are no longer updatable, so this is no longer needed."
This kind of service generates so much noise and irrelevant alerts, it comes out of nowhere and there is no way to get rid of those bots once they invaded a repository. And they are so useless. A simple `npm outdated && npm upgrade` would have done better in 99% of the cases.

Monday morning. Updated my IDE. Updated my browser. Ran npm upgrade. Encountered new bugs. Why can't our industry focus on releasing stable software and shipping updates that reduce bugs without introducing new ones? I thought everyone except for me must be doing 100% test-driven development by now, especially the corporate devs?7

Matomo, the free web analytics tool formerly known as Piwik, does not display referring search keywords (anymore?) without purchasing an add-on, which makes it less valuable than the good old webalizer. I should grab my old backups from 2001 and find a Perl script that crawls Apache server logs. Why must digital progress always mean Verschlimmbesserung?
