  I see this as political discourse. I can now look at whoever started and starred the fork and unquestionably categorize them as people not worth interacting with.

  Seems like a bad idea unless she’s very familiar with the projects she would help document. Documentation is notoriously not something that can be produced by a newcomer, because it requires experience that a newcomer doesn’t have.

  I guess the best way for a newcomer would try to use the product and ask every little question they have to make sure they receive the correct answers and context and, at the end of the process, enough knowledge would help gained to contribute at least one piece of documentation. But the bulk of the knowledge would still come from people that already know the product, so in terms of efficiency it’s way worse than having the authors write it.

  Of course, if the authors are unwilling or unable to write good (or any, even) documentation, having someone that has the will to gather the scattered information into a central place and work on it so it’s digestible and high quality is still unbelievably useful.

  But yeah, my point being that documentation is far trickier than it seems as far as open source contributions go.

  if you’re using windows and expect any privacy at all […] throw that notion out the window

  Correct. And if you are using linux, macOS, android, or are using a butterfly to manipulate bits to send a message through the internet.

  Because id your message ends up on the screen of a windows user, it’s also going to be eaten by AI.

  And forget the notion of “anything you post on the internet is forever”, this is also true for private and encrypted comms now. At least as long as they can be decrypted by your recipient, if they use windows.

  You want privacy and use linux? Well, that’s no longer enough. You now also need to make sure that none of your communications include a (current or future) windows user as they get spyware by default in their system.

  Well maybe not quite by default, yet

  I was dining out once and ordered a spicy pizza. Had this tiny red chili pepper in the center, maybe the size of the tip of my pinky. I thought nothing of it and popped it whole in my mouth.

  I was sweating and crying for 10 minutes, 10/10 would do it again.

  Op’s description is legit mouth watering, and now I want a slow-cooked spicy stew with roasted whole chilies.
