You can say the same for Apple. I think the trademark applies when a common word is used in a distinct business case. Here the word is used as a filter name, for instance. That application is unique.

Some, I admit, have merit. (Senile, grey-beard etc.) To me they are common sense. Perhaps, the rest of the terms were common sense to the authors.
Several suggestions about cultural appropriation are hypocritical. People of all cultures say the Lord's name in vain all the time. But saying guru or totem pole or spirit animal is an infringement. Why?
There are many turns of phrase where the offensive implication is not even implicit. "Bury the hatchet", "take a shot", "rule of thumb". Does anyone have to do mental labor to separate the violence in the words from their meaning?
Some replacements are suggested to prevent a word from singularly describing a person, because people have multiple characteristics. Yet the verbosity makes the attempt more conspicuous. "Immigrant -> person who immigrated". Why?
If I were to make my own generator from scratch, I'd go with python. It's the language I work with the most. A lot of my blog content will be generated from python (figures etc) or will show python code. So having a site generator in the same language can help me add features by hacking on the generator code in a way that a single binary cannot.

For anyone looking for more context. I did not know anything about the what and why and who of this post.
Having read it, I like the author's point of view. Working on it is good for his well-being. That's more than enough reason to pursue it.
This belief is based on my not-so-expert, but also not-so-layman's experience of the lack of regulation and transparancy in the blockchain space.
I do not subscribe to all the beliefs the author espouses, but I am sympathetic with them. Admittedly, I feel myself cheering him on for standing his ground against this vacuous criticism.
I have always been a windows user and my intuition was shaped accordingly. So to me that is the obvious and correct thing to do.
I am currently abstaining, and I have noticed changes in my life: mental health, social calendar, relationships. My sexual outlet is not just my hand in front of (usually) a screen showing impersonal images. My sexual urges are directed more wholly towards my sexual partner.
When I did not have a partner, I noted there was some frustration with errant thoughts. But, that virility of thought was to my benefit when I did find a partner. In the past, I've had issues physically with erectile dysfunction, or mentally with emotional engagement. The narrative fed to me in porn was so embellished so as to change my expectations in reality. Abstaining has helped ground me by not implicitly comparing reality to a contrived fantasy with a darker underbelly.
I also think, porn is an easy outlet for boredom and solitude, and not just sexual frustration. When I restrain from porn, I find myself occupying time doing other things. Granted, I may be unproductive. But, I've felt in the balance that I've eked out things more worthwhile of my time than just my ejaculate into empty air :)
Reading this, I felt the description hit very close to home with regards to a substantive amount of discourse here. I also learned a new word!
The only feature I think is missing is exporting to some open format so I can use them with another application.
(funny aside from the video ad: they didn't finish the clip showing the guy managing to take a sip from the cup with the headset on, haha.)
This occurs on many company blogs as well operating under a subdomain like blog.whatever.com
To be clear, this is a very tangential and irrelevant nitpick and I understand it does not contribute to the content of the website itself.
I do think we should be conservative about complexity in websites, but advocating for removing interactivity and styling (js/css) seems too idealistic and simply contrarian. So I definitely think this is a good conversation starter, but not a serious goal.
"tall and skinny". Well it looks skinny, but in bytes is actually fatter than the csv. Similarly, for comparing stuff, the columnar display works better.
My go-to is ini. Simple. Everything is a string. No assumed hierarchy in section naming. Just key/value pairs under sections. It is up to the using application to parse them how it sees fit.
