If I had json schema that described a components options, how would someone expect that to be semver’d? New component options are minor, any changes to existing options are major?

If you gleefully claim your product will cut jobs, you are now contractually obligated to lobby for UBI. Sorry, those are the new rules!

After my last order was eaten by the post office delivery machinery, usps got me a quick refund from the insurance and
@chuwenjie.bsky.social
sent me a replacement. They’re absolutely beautiful prints. They make me quite happy.
