I am writing this intro while stuffed with yummy Suriname food, cuisine you only really find in the Netherlands (in Europe I mean!). This newsletter is also stuffed (see what I did there?), with fallout in two large open source projects, wonderous new musical instrument simulators, poor lonely single tech bros, and more.\n\nPS. RIP Patrick Stewart, who also appears in this newsletter. But not how you might think. I highly recommend his autobiography, \"[Making it so](https://www.amazon.com/dp/1982167742?tag=gregamamma-20.)\".\n\nxx Chinch\n\n## Support this newsletter\n\nIf you like what you read here and want to keep supporting my work, I have a couple of ways you can support me this issue.\n\n### Social sharing for the AI world\n\n[Typefully](https://go.chrischinchilla.com/typefully) makes social media content creation simple.
