I like the use of the phrase All rights reversed when talking about copyleft.

Don't worry about feeling angry. That is a normal emotion when things happen out of your control that you would like to be able to change. It is the emotion that tries to give you an extra impulse to move from a state of inaction or fear to a state of action to change it or prevent it in the future. Normal emotion. But just not always helpful if the thing you want to change is still outside your control.

Just do not let that anger turn via blame into hatred. That can happen if it is hard to change the things you would like to change, and the anger starts getting directed at the things or people that you feel as "doing nothing to help", "doing the opposite of helping" or even "the cause of this problem" and stays there. Again, it is normal to feel anger or blame here. That can help to find ways to change something, but from there it can slide into seeing those things or people as "enemies", the root cause of everything you would like to be able to change, the opposers and blockers and the evil that wants to keep your thing from ever to change. That is where hatred lies. Anger that cannot be resolved unless something or someone else changes.

You can also use that anger and blame to find constructive ways to make the change. As other people mentioned: grieve together. Find out that they are as helpless as you to change what is past. That they are as afraid as you of things outside your control. That they also feel the pain of loss, and would also like to prevent this from happening again. Bring food, talk, listen. Everyone wants to feel seen, heard, and trust that they won't have to keep fighting or be forgotten if their needs aren't met, but be able to find support and care in the people around them. By sharing and showing these kindnesses, you can build or strengthen these bonds of trust in the community.

Anger is a call to action, and blame can be a way to find the places where those bridges of support may have weakened, where those mutual and basic needs are likely to be unmet. The action can be to rebuild them.

I guess it is a matter of how "fluent" you are in the language. With some foreign languages, e.g. when I started learning a bit of Japanese, I could recognize some kanji, understand some bastc sentences, but still had no idea what it would sound like. Maybe it's similar to that. We get good at recognizing patterns and interpret them just enough to accomplish what we need, and if we haven't had any use for "knowing exactly what it sounds like" (maybe just enough to recognize we are missing some notes while playing), we save the energy needed to learn more.

But a conductor would definitely need to know what it should sound like (or how they would want the orchestra to make it sound), so it is part of the interpretation of the pattern.

Same for lords patrician and other intra-audiophiles.

Yet.

Might not be a useful plugin, but fans of Terry Pratchett might like the GNU Terry Pratchett idea. For librewolf I use this slightly updated add-on which fixes some minor issues (source available).

That is an interesting source. Thanks for the link!

git was designed to be decentralized. Everyone can (technically, but it is not too hard to set up if you have some affinity with servers) fork/clone another git repository and serve it up. It has built-in ways to synchronize with any other server. In fact, that synchronizing is what most developers do when they use git.

Of course, that would make it harder to know which repository has the "official" version, but in a way, that is maybe also a benefit of decentralisation. Knowing what code is authentic can be done by signing the commits.

The hubs that we see, are usually a combination of git and a way to serve the code, along with documentation, roadmap, bug tracking, automatic testing and building and the resulting binaries in a visually pleasing way. That does not need to be a part of decentralizing the code, and it is not the only way to do it.

Some of that can also be done with git built-in tracking of files, and the building and testing can probably also done in other locations, as long as there are files describing how to do that bundled with the code (which practically all projects already do).

Sourcehut (https://sr.ht) is one hub that helps developers use simpler tools for those workflows, and I think that's a good place to find some inspiration.

Thanks! I've used emails as a plural of email for a long time, referring to the messages. Not a native speaker, maybe it's something Dutch people do with some loanwords. Never softwares or the (more recent) codes, though.

Heh, thanks. I did just look up what people on StackExchange thought about it, and in short: both are correct, although the word originated as a mass noun (uncountable).

I was guessing that the intended usage would be "email messages". And I would compare it to (snail) mail. You can get a lot of letters, but it is still a lot of mail.

Logseq can also handle org-mode, and I've seen some guides to use logseq and org-mode on the same set of files (syncing with git, I believe), so you might be abke to use logseq as the mobile interface.

That's why you feed that flame once in a while.

I will never not read LTT as Lews Therin first, of whom, as a lover of both FOSS and EotW, I definitely prefer being reminded.

E: my brain forgot that the series is called WoT. EotW is just the first book, indeed. But I'm rambling very much off topic here.
