We updated our contribution policy for @teamtype last week, which now states the following:

"We do not accept any contributions that contain content generated by LLMs. This also includes all written communication on GitHub. We will close any pull request, issue, or discussion that does not comply to this policy."

In our team, we have different reasons for this, but myself, I have a few of them: 🧵

@b0rk Sometimes I set the snapshot.auto-track = "none()" option, which prevents that new files are added automatically. But I mostly got used to jj's model, and keep random files elsewhere.

Which email provider would you currently recommend to a family member (if you don't want to host the emails yourself)? Low volume, couple of GB of storage. Paid options okay.

So I followed this path up for maybe 20 minutes. At ~22 °C, I was sweating a lot!

A mid-forest crossroads had this beautiful way of marking the different directions!

At one point, I met two people hiking downhill, which gave me a feeling or relief: I would be able to get through there *somewhere*!

Eventually, the view opened up, and revealed the Stanley Peninsula!

I continued on that path, and reached a concrete street again, that led to a water reservoir on the top of the mountain.

That was a neat little sub-adventure! :D

Today, I'll start walking along the coast of Hong Kong Island, and see how far I'll get! :D

Starting in Western District, which is bustling and densely-populated.

This is 青洲 – Green Island!

The trees are working really hard at reclaiming the city here!

More of these trees that we saw in the last days! It's the Chinese banyan aka "curtain fig". And it seems that it's sometimes actively used to stabilize slopes!

"Don't toot!" 😬

Made it around Mount Davis, and reached Waterfall Bay!

This part of the coast consists of a couple of connected public parks, which feel nice to walk in.

Oh hello! It seems that instead of discarding your deity figure, you can bring them here, and a member of the local community will take care if them!

Other places I've been to: "Oh yeah, the city has a *downtown* area, and there you can find a couple of higher buildings."

Hong Kong: *casually sprinkles 40-storey skyscrapes all over the place*

Made it to Deepwater Bay in the South of Hong Kong Island, the first beach I've seen here. Time for a break!

Tin Hau Temple, which is dedicated to a Chinese sea goddess.

The map I'm following for the "around-the-island trail" denotes a couple of "safe deviations". So far, they seemed to lead around construction sites, for example, and once, to avoid a locked gate (which I realized too late, and which caused me a ~2 km detour. 🤦

But for this one, I'm glad that I didn't follow the deviation, and instead followed the shore!

It seemed like a bit of a gamble: Following the shore could be a really pretty and interesting path (instead of walking along a street).

On the other hand, the path could be impassable, or dangerous.

I also (again) realized too late that the official route would go another way, so it would've cost me time to turn around. I decided to see how far I'd get!

It quickly turned out that it would be an uphill hike. The first few steps were still made from concrete...
