I see the argument, but for you as a coder of CMSes, static is a step down in complexity, but for me (also a coder but, you know, cobbler's children, etc.), interposing a build/deploy system (unless it's on Netlify or some such, and that only adds complexity) is a step up. I "blog" from a variety of places (home pc, work pc, android, ideally linux) and having a build system, with all dependencies resolved, everywhere, is an issue.

P.S. If you're just starting a blog now's a great time NOT to use WordPress.anything.

Now I'm way overdoing this because I'm a dork, but my go-to recipe is from the old Joy of Cooking: https://www.reddit.com/r/Old_Recipes/s/EzNEPf9vBN

Yaaas, butter! Also: buttermilk (instead of milk) reacts with the baking soda and you get fluffiness, if you don't over-mix.
Throw fresh blueberries ON TOP of the pancake you just started in the pan, right in the still-raw dough. Short-order cook trick I once saw.

Thanks for asking this dumb question. I'm a techie with 4 (four!) neurons to rub together and I needed the answers you got.

At some point (conceivably), it will cease to be fashionable for young women to be involved in politics, at which point Teen Vogue will cease to be leading the revolution.
But, for now, it IS fashionable, and I surely do support it.

That *is* interesting.
There's at least one article somewhere about cell phone use among those in poverty (because I've seen it). If one were to visit young people in extreme poverty (I have), one would see that almost all of them have a cell phone, which, in the US, is taken as a sign of not-really-in-poverty.
But they do have actual economic benefits (in the article, knowing what/where the best prices for goods are, since small business is key).

Out of curiosity, how does this relate to something like M-PESA? Are they interoperable? Can one be seen as a superset of the other?

I disagree w/your assessment of her as a Trump voter, though.

He's right, we really need to fix this. With or without Congress.

@tokyo_0 Seems like it should work, but also, easy enough to test, right?

As someone else on the thread pointed out, taxes are involuntary.

...unless I either open-source pretty much my entire stack or negotiate my own license agreement with Redis?
Is that the picture?

«our long-standing partnership with Microsoft will continue to support organizations...»
So... I'm not up to speed. Do MS and Redis have an explicit (formal) side agreement that has MS shipping $$ to Redis and Redis declining to sue under SSPL? (Like, "Redis licenses Redis to MS under these specific terms, etc. etc.")
Because, otherwise, wouldn't SSPL also apply to MS?
And if I, as pee-wee cloud services offerer, use Redis, am I SOL...
