At this point I think it's utopic. Meta has an army of lawyers, they will optimize and adapt. But it's really hard to tinker as a single hacker when a German legal troll firm can come for you for linking Google fonts on your web p

They are not planning to go Gnome 4, hence Gnome 3.40 became 40. Just like Emacs went from 1.12 to 13.

Format is part of OCaml stdlib. You can write formatters for it manually. Derivers are a library yes, it's pretty widespread if you need derive functionality, and it can derive basic functions. Proper link: https://github.co

In theory. In practice Germany requires your private non-commercial web page to have Impressum and there is an army of legal trolls who would destroy you for not having one. I guess the same will happen with signed apps.

Then I don't understand what you are arguing about. If you're neurodivergent, you would always require self awareness and masking, faked as op rightfully stated. You could never natural, no matter what circumstances were.

You severely underestimate the biological side of things regarding social interaction. Neurodivergent people are what we are not just bc "surroundings made us so"

That's all good and well, but the very time you would try to start selling your tinkering, or, God forbid, hire somebody - that's where the hell begins. Being a self-employed is a living hell in Germany, as well as receiving any m
