After the first write, they will leave you on read(-only mode)

why?PROM is Programmable Read-Only Memory, which can be written to only once, after which it is read-only

What does the maintainer say when asked whether one can contribute to their permissively licensed project?

M I Teasing you? Of course you can add Apache 2!

why?MIT and Apache 2(.0) are both permissive open-source licenses, and they replace parts of the phrases "Am I teasing" and "a patch too".

Why did the animatic graphic end so quickly? It was in a GIFfy! (for the people who advocate for a soft G)

What did the villain say to the protagonist in a popular meme? GIF me your power! (for the people who prefer a hard G)

What do you call a Japanese style of mood boards? JPEGboards!
