mpaco··on Reynard: A real Firefox web browser for iOS 13 or later
There has been some work on porting Gecko to iOS, but there doesn't seem to have been any progress in over a year: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1834907
mpaco··on Incident with Actions and Pages
I recently got my GitHub account suspended for 4 months. When it was finally reinstated, their support just said it was a "mistake".

Proudly self-hosting Forgejo since then.

mpaco··on Apple's Liquid Glass: When Aesthetics Beat Function
That's fixed in the latest beta.
mpaco··on Bypassing airport security via SQL injection
The timeline mentions the disclosure was made through CISA, and on their website there is an official incident report form.

I can imagine an email to some generic email address could have gone down the way you describe, but I guess they look at these reports more professionally.

mpaco··on Piezoelectrics enable displays to provide both audio and touch feedback
> Replacing traditional speakers with piezoelectric transducers will allow devices to be much thinner.

I appreciate the fact that this technology could make mobile devices more durable because it has less moving parts, but I don't feel going any thinner than what's currently available is desirable from an ergonomics perspective. I just don't feel as comfortable holding a phone that's 7mm thick, or less.

And I certainly don't think it's worth the risk of it folding in my pocket.
