Happy National #Vegan Day!

I'm all for #security, but seriously, things (like banks) log you out much too quickly nowadays due to "inactivity". Besides being just annoying, I'm sure that encourages people to use crappier passwords.
Props to whomever came up with the idea of putting kale salad as the vegan option on the breakfast buffet but calling it "breakfast salad".

It's okay to publish code under a free software / open source license without starting a "project". Not every act of sharing code for others to use and/or build on is a "project". Which is something that studies about how many "projects" are "maintained" should keep in mind.
