Any unwrap() should either be an expect() or should have a comment explaining what invariant means it's safe to do. Hopefully your sins are well documented :D

Oooh so tempted to buy a copy for kindle, just to see if I get arrested for owning material trivially purchasable from Amazon too.

I'm sad fr.ex. that google meet dangles 'change your background' at me, but then goes "haha but not on your browser" too.

Yeah that makes sense. I mean the Edge evolution made a lot of sense full-stop. I'm just sad that the Teams app requires I log in (I don't have a team account) and the web interface for calls refuses to work on Firefox (though it works a bit if I tell FF to lie). Web, eh?

Amusingly the only thing Firefox doesn't work well for me for, is MS Teams :D So I have to keep Chrome on my laptop for that :(

Do you have the email address that commit was made with registered to your github account?

It can be tough to "do what makes sense" when your choice is "Monetise the platform or the platform fails" (not that I know at all what the situation was for signal before this). (Note, I am entirely horrified by *any* 'blockchain currency')
