Web apps are incredible! There are so many things you can do in just your browser, even from an HTML file on your own computer. I wish there were more fun collections like https://www.quickstuff.app/ from @matt_birchler out there just to remind people of what's possible.

Ireland’s President Connolly:

"What we have witnessed in recent days in the Middle East, and beyond, are not political disputes.

"They are deliberate assaults on international law, the international laws that have underpinned global peace for 80 years.

"We must name them as such, without euphemism and without equivocation."

We choose not to by using products/svcs enriching billionaires. We choose not to by electing politicians who say the thing we want to hear, not what we *should* hear. And by participating in broken systems instead of fixing/replacing them.

Consider making different choices.
