thanks for the suggestion! It looks awesome, but despite my best efforts, Emacs continues to be a bridge too far for me - I just can't make sense of the keyboard shortcuts and the frames, windows and buffers. IDK why it just doesn't click with my brain.

I start reading what is supposedly a powerful personal story about burnout in open source. Then I start to see the pattern - that familiar tempo. Admittedly there's no "Not x. Not y. Just z'. But there's that faint whiff, like the neighbor is burning toast. The paragraphs are just a bit too regular. Something about the headings. Yeah my dude, you used ChatGPT to write this, didn't you. I'm sure of it. Not sure enough of just how much to comment on the post, and I don't have the energy to get in an argument about it.

Specifically give users the power to remove age verification and to enable encryption, even if they have to fork your project to do so.

@nprofile1q... when you're trying to learn things it can add be quite unhelpful. Was it actually four things or three I'm supposed to remember? Was there something significant about the zero (such as a baseline state) or are they just making sure everyone knows they're a coder?
