When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.

⚠of course there are no guarantees it will be seen by anyone relevant. Hopefully some kind souls will volunteer to proxy the reports.

Hotlink does not show when hovered. Is this a browser bug? (support.ts.fujitsu.com)

The simple concept of linking to a PDF has been enshitified in so many ways of fuckery lately. The linked page has a download link that triggers the fetching of some JavaScript download manager garbage that demands agreeing to, idk, probably something that legally fucks you in a variety of ways.

But what the browser does is worth considering. Chromium and Firefox both show NOTHING when hovering over the hyperlink. Normally I expect to see an URL at the bottom of the window when hovering on something clickable. The browsers do nothing.

Is that a smart design? Shouldn’t the browser signal to the user “clicking this executes JavaScript?”
