I wonder why open-source projects are now full of emojis and ridiculous stuff like "Please ensure that any media you use with this app is obtained legally"?
What happened to the hacker spirit and the communities that sprouted from SourceForge and Linux?
Sorry for the rant.
I'm pretty fine with it. Usually, people who have emojis in their READMEs have put in the time to make it more presentable and readable.
