Author is now trying to turn it into a public service announcement about “controlling your node modules” which sounds like it came off the same production line as GaMeRgAtE IS aBoUT EtHiCs IN jOUrNalISM.

This code serves as a non-destructive example of why controlling your node modules is important. It also serves as a non-violent protest against Russia’s aggression that threatens the world right now. This module will add a message of peace on your users’ desktops, and it will only do it if it does not already exist just to be polite.
