@raganwald I grew up in close proximity to trained engineers, so startup / techbro “engineering” has always been genuinely weird to me.

“With respect to content that is already on the open web, the social contract of that content since the 90s has been that it is fair use. Anyone can copy it, recreate with it, reproduce with it. That has been freeware, if you like. That’s been the understanding”

Jumpy Dog itching to go for her after-dinner walk.
So excited! I’m putting the walking harnesses on the dogs! I’m getting the leashes ready! I’m — putting on my hoodie?
Why the hoodie? A confused look from Jumpy Dog. I haven’t worn the hoodie since — since —
We get two steps past the front door. She realizes it’s raining. The air feels funny. Oh and there’s been thunder for an hour.
Jumpy Dog decides she can wait for her walk. Both dogs turn in unison back to the door.
