Hey! This is a really neat project, especially considering your age. That being said, I’m confused by why what is essentially a beginner learning project is being wrapped in language that makes it sound like a Series B startup.

“This article reached a conclusion from the author’s perspective” is not a criticism of writing. It is a description of writing. Good writing is almost never neutral. It can be fair, careful, honest, and proportionate. But if it has nothing

> my philosophy is this: if I'm doing my job properly, the user should never even know I exist. This is my philosophy too working in infrastructure. It’s my job to care way too much so downstream users don’t have to.

I’d be cautious about saying OpenBSD itself is directly affected. It really depends on if OpenBSD counts as an “electronic service provider”. You do raise a pretty good point though, Canada has long benefited from being perceived as a relat

I agree with the principle that the internet has, for lack of a better word, gone to shit. This isn’t the answer though. It’s not technically feasible and doesn’t actually address the problem. Your falling into the classic software brain tr

I don’t feel the need to. If someone says “this is AI” all I hear is, “I don’t want to actually engage with the argument”. I also have a very specific voice. Blunt. Slightly irritated. Highly opinionated. AI is pretty bad at trying to emula
