Now I just need to get the hang of docking in Elite.

"COINS" is "not in word list." Wordle happily accepts it.

I understand the pragmatic reasons behind such a decision, but insisting that I sign up with Google (and only Google) was an unfortunate blocker.
If anything, GitHub seems like a more obvious choice for such a site.

> even though heroin harms and often kills those who consume it
I’m going to stop you right there. Basically the whole opioid epidemic is because herion is illegal. We’d have way fewer deaths if we’d provided safe and legal access to it. And also American companies would have the profits instead of terrorists and organized criminals.
Your comment has very little to do with your chosen quote.
You're arguing that the scale of the opioid problem is a direct result of the associated laws. The quote just states that heroin is harmful to humans.

No, it should be illegal even when done willingly. Because this worsens the bargaining position of everyone else.
In what way?
The device that immediately springs to mind is the Kindle. You can choose to buy a version without ads, or save ~10% and accept ads.
That seems like a reasonable compromise.
Both the browser and the website look remarkably similar to https://zen-browser.app/.
In what sense is Go not a traditional language for web services? They're almost the only thing it's good at, and it's been doing them for 13 years.
I agree that Go is a good choice for web services. I disagree that it's the only thing Go is good at. DevOps tooling and CLI tools immediately spring to mind.
Yes. Nice product and fair license. But do not call it open source.
Flagging the post for false advertising, will unflag if they fix the page.
It's a marketing page primarily intended for a non-technical audience who probably don't know (or care) about the differences between Open Source and "the source is open".
Flagging the post for "false advertising" is complete overkill. It's also inaccurate, as at no point does the page claim Fizzy complies with the Open Source Definition.
If it helps, DHH has acknowledged this distinction elsewhere:
> This is done under the O'Saasy License, which is basically the do-whatever-you-want-just-don't-sue MIT License, but with a carve-out that reserves the commercialization rights to run Fizzy as SaaS for us as the creators. That means it's not technically Open Source™, but the source sure is open, and you can find it on our public GitHub repository.
