These things can all be true at the same time:
- If you created free software you don't owe anyone anything, you created it as a gift, people can accept it or not.
- If you are using free software you don't owe anyone anything, you received it as a gift.
- If you created your software because you wanted it to help people it will help more people longer if you create a community around that can maintain the software longer than you.
- If you want to keep using the software longer it will help if you support the author and help create a community around the software that can maintain it longer than one volunteer author.

Went into Discord for the first time in months. I had let the camel hump of hate run low. It is now filled.
I know it's common in service tickets but it really pings my nads when somebody opens one, you send a resolving response and they go quiet.

the shareware CDs that used to come with computer magazines are on archive.org and they will cure your false nostalgia for 90s computing
Remote two days a week and I get this good boy keeping me company on the couch.
It's interesting that when you don't have a huge amount of CPU grunt (some ARM for example) just how heavy webapps are. Masto is fine, Gmail is not, neither is Linkedin or FB. They're dreadfully slow.

A tour of CNPP's dormant #2 Reactor Hall. This is an RBMK-1000, a near identical installation to its infamous younger sister at the opposite end of the complex.

In no way should this have made me laugh as loudly as it did.
Yesterday evening near midnight I took the dog out and there was this warm feeling witb a cool damp part on the back of your throat. Proper summer stuff. Lovely.
This is a real shame. A great team, great riders. They come and go. Hopefully they will be back.
