Running independent websites is like planting flowers in front of your plot, on the public lane that the municipality doesn't care about.
You have to deal with people trampling over them because the pavement is not wide enough for their groups. The junk flying over from the nearby supermarket. Asshole neighbor throwing empty alcohol bottles out. Dog shit. And if you succeed nevertheless, people will just come over and dig it all out, to take into their own gardens.
And then some bright libertarian will come and tell you that you should be grateful and praise their ingenuity.

I couldn't care less about a bunch of rich people in Brooklyn, I just read the article for the delicious drama. However, about halfway through the article, I started to see so many #FreeSoftware parallels.
1) Volunteers spend countless unpaid hours creating/maintaining something to better their community.
2) For-profit business packages it up as part of their offering.
I guess messengers are the real final bosses of walled gardens. 🙁
My latest essay was supposed to be a brief piece on 3 gardens in Kyoto (Shōsei-en, Saihō-ji, and
Matsunoo Taisha). Being a historian, I couldn't resist going down a rabbit hole about the development of the "zen garden" as a concept in the 1930s. That's the way these things go. Link in the comments.

This Earth Day, I'm grateful for the many different ways I get to encounter the living world, from wild landscapes to manicured gardens, from trees by the sidewalk to protected green spaces

After seeing my wife into work, next to the first coffee shop, I decided to head up river. I started walking along the river path, but then after a short while, I veered off to explore the Terrace Gardens, and I found a coffee shop in there, that I didn’t know existed! So, time for another coffee!
Sonnet 016 - XVI
But wherefore do not you a mightier way
Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time?
And fortify your self in your decay
With means more blessed than my barren rhyme?
Now stand you on the top of happy hours,
And many maiden gardens, yet unset,
With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers,
Much liker than your painted counterfeit:
So should the lines of life that life repair,
Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil…
If Canada truly wants to safeguard LLMs, it is really very easy: hold the owners responsible for their dog and make them liable for whom ever their dog bites or gardens they ruin.
What could possibly be more fair? We'd need to really streamline the courts …

Just a reminder that gardening centers will happily sell you plants such as Pelargonium citrosum that are supposedly able to repel mosquitoes. But don't be suckered. No plant has that ability even if thousands of Pinterest pages insist it's true. #mosquitoes #gardening #gardens #plants
