I also promise to read at least a few of your articles. :)

I have a concept for a low-restriction open source license (it's actually unenforceable by design); how would y'all recommend approaching an effort to write a good draft and get it reviewed?

My expectation for the end use case is that projects would be licensed under a standard, more restrictive license *or* this, at the choice of the derivative work's author, to avoid breaking normal license compatibility.

I think Rust may become my new go-to language for non-web projects. I'm very impressed with how well-thought out it is.

Just started learning Rust!

I don't know why it pleases me so much that variables are immutable by default.

A poem inspired by the Ubuntu 22.04 codename:

Jammy, Jammy, he's the jelly
Who'll turn off the awful telly
Then our fearless jellyfish
Will cook a tasteful gourmet dish

Just remembered about a thing I used to do where I'd send spammers professional-looking emails from an email address on my domain about grants from "The Spam Foundation"

Oddly, I never got any responses. (I wonder why?)

Here's an intriguing fact: though Google Chrome is the dominant web browser, with 63.84% of the global market share, most devices don't have it preinstalled.

This means a large majority of web users intentionally go out of their way to download Google Chrome rather than use the default browser handed to them by their Operating Systems.

My question, then, is this: why Chrome?

??? What? I saw other people posting their #Wordle stuff so I decided to try it out...

Somehow I got it on the first try???

...Grammarly? I don't think that suggestion is correct.

So in all my research so far I haven't found this, and I feel like it should exist...

Is there a feed reader as a tray icon? Right now I'm looking for a mac os implementation to introduce my parents to (pretty sure that's the only way they'd actually use it), but I'd love a similar GNOME shell extension for my own use too...

I went on a plane today! ✈️
