James Smith 💾<p>It’s not happened yet, but I think I should add a “we won’t accept vibe coded PRs” clause to the Manyfold contributor guide. Anyone know a good link to a simple concise rationale for such a clause that I could include?</p>

Willowbriar, Unofficially<p>Being trans in this timeline is like being that character in a horror film that is begging, screaming, pleading with the rest of the characters to see that the villain is real and he's going to kill all of us but they all just laugh it off like i'm just being paranoid even though people are already disappearing</p>
