also great: the promptfondlers unrapidly rediscovering why source control management exists and is desired

I would’ve stan’d syslog-ng but they’ve also been pulling some fuckery with docs again lately that’s making me anxious, so I’m very :|||||

nasb, new torres piece out, promising title and opening

mozilla has for years had a habit of tailchasing some utterly fucking weird shit instead of focusing on their core business, and this feels very much like part of that. but fucking still
