Non-appliance sound.
Read a really great post on LLMs and being an open source developer earlier (will need to dig the link out tomorrow as I read it on the work laptop, and never the twain shall meet), which led me to another post by the same author about moving from Zola to Zine, partly because Zola can be obtuse, which I agree with.

The coast always has spots where you can sit with the sea on your own.
A “high” number of NEETs is a symptom of a problem, not the problem itself, and that problem is a lack of jobs.
