i have no background in Greek. But it looked nice. How ancient are we talking about. Will it cover the ancient Greek that Bible Theologians and Bible students study or will they have to look elsewhere?

Don't say unsinkable just say hard to sink. Because someone will make shops and the shops will hit icebergs. Or you can imagine some miniature scenario where the tubes will be loaded with payloads and they will hit something and their texture will get crushed sink. So I feel hard to sink is a better word

an MIT licensed project[0] with a "It's my captains chair and i'm only offering it to friends otherwise i'm sinking this ship" clause ?

He is trying to save the club from enshittification. He is not blindly trusting anyone but needs proof of trust to hand over the keys. But yes anyone can fork the project.

I bookmarked you. I want to read more posts from you. Also we can just get rid of freemium and say yes we can solve that problem that a customer is having but not tell them how and they must pay one time payment to get full access. 1st 50 get that access at quitelow prices and leave favorable reviews and the next customers pay the real price. In that case not many will be coming up with 60% of your product (i.e. the freemium you mentioned in your blog). Also anyone trying to vibe code your functionality and selling it should be outrightly banned by the govt (yes that's the most difficult part).
Once ppl who have already paid then they will not have much motivation to vibe code your product for themselves except for those who want to sell it to other customers but govt can ban them if they are found to be using vibe coding your functionality. But where to find that govt.....

I don't like it. All kind of legit services use email, such as Steam when you made a purchase, or health service. The idea that they won't move the weight of the loss to you, is ludicrous. Ergo, price goes up, and you either get paid or lose out more. It is a race to the bottom, kind of like using Brave to block ads and show their own.
It also adds to the adagium that all spam solutions ultimately do not work, and Bill Gates proposed all of them (a meme, too).
Furthermore, email is a broken protocol not because of federation (something alternatives usually lack) but because of lack of E2EE.
I don't need E2EE on my email even though I know govts and corporations are reading my email. But I also want that recruiter email or email from zoom telling me if they are going to give me discount on my next payment cycle.
And most people will put zoom, steam, and any other services like bank and govt agencies in the white list. So no costs will not rise. I don't use steam so even if steam pays money to send me mail with their offers , still I will delete it and they understand that. So unless it's a recruitment offer from steam they don't need to pay money to send mail to me. So prices won't rise because corporations will only rely on customers who are white listing them. Anyone else they will not send so overall the prices will go down rather than go up. You may think but how will Steam get new customers if not flooding the planet by emails. They would turn to influencers and affiliates. Maybe they already use them.

In a world of spam, the cost of reaching an actual person for soliciting is very high for a genuine free lancer like me. I wish the cost was not so much and I could reach effectively the people i want to reach by paying them even.

Awesome. This was actually my idea too when I said that members of hackernews should be paid for messages to reach them by other hacker news members. But you came up with much nicer.
implementation. I like it.

Counterpoint, my parents didn’t shelter me from shit and my life went off the rails at 12.
12 is the magic number when things start going to shit. I'm sorry for what happened to you but maybe you should start a counselling service for clueless parents and tell them what should they do and what they shouldn't to correctly shelter the children. Because sheltering is an art. I think about it all the time. I always wish some one would take a bit of money but tell me how to guide or not guide my child to be independent in the rough world and to take decisions independently
