oh yeah, that one was fun. Honestly that you didn't immediately tell me that you are not doing aoc gives me hope that 2020 will end on a good note. Thank you.
I think, for the empathy you're seeking, you have to look to FOSS *authors*. Only people who've been through the emotional rollercoaster of looking after FOSS are likely to properly understand what it takes :(
(Where I think almost anyone can empathise with "work for money")
While I'm not certain, I'd guess this is, in part, due to the "If I paid nothing for it, it's worth nothing" combined with "If you don't charge for it, clearly you *want* to give it away and thus you *want* to satisfy me and my needs for nothing."

@monzo My mother was spammed by someone claiming to be Monzo. Who at your organisation should I arrange to send a copy of the scam email to, so that they can track down and prevent future such problems? (I am a Monzo customer, my mother is not)

I've had to write up a plan to gamify my intake/exercise in an attempt to shed my lockdown weight :( (hackmd.io/3M7rShR3QIKpJGuvR4โฆ) it's not going very well yet ;(

Rob: hey Google, turn on the living room lights
Google : ok
Me: hey Google, turn off the living room lights
Google : you have no lights called living room
Apparently Rob and I don't live in the same house or something.

I tend to work on projects where branches have many commits (5+) so the merge commits give useful context
it is a wonderful game. I have enjoyed playing it through three times so far. Each time learning new things about the verse. Very nice
