    I love this! “Digital ephemera” is such a unique treasure trove, there could be literally anything in there. It’s like finding a used sd card, or an old answering machine that still has a tape in it.

        I thought it will be released but it isn’t released yet right?

          Oh, so it’s not even fake open source. It’s promised to be fake open source.
