Yeah! Good job, guys. Keep it up.

I’m hoping it’ll be like with the desktop ecosystem – as the mainstream mobile OSes enshittify, more people (and developers) will be driven to use (and contribute to) the linux alt.

Bioregions now!

Which I guess is a kind of loose line in itself, based mostly on water tables, but I like how it emphasizes land stewardship.

Jet Li?

Is this Gears of War?

I think so, yes, that feels right. OK, this is powerful… I think I’ve got the hook for my second book
