   Huh, I wonder why this Firefox extension hasn't been updated in the better part of a decade.

   "This repo dedicated to the living memory of its original author."

   Well, fuck.

     It's just kind of surreal, leaving a digital footprint after death in the form of various OSS repos and projects. I don't know why, it makes absolute sense, but it just feels really odd to encounter.

     @whitequark It's a sobering thought. For me, a few papers no one cares about any more (why, when you can make more money lying about VQE than actually building anything?)... I dunno, it's all really odd to think about.

     @xgranade ah, but you see, i'm not doing it for power or fame. i just want the world to be better than it is. nothing can erase that, even if the memory of it might be fleeting on a cosmic timescale

     @whitequark Maybe I've just re-read Ozymandias too many times. Who knows.
