That'd be interesting to find out. Have you contacted anybody? Couldn't hurt to ask. A lot of ratings-attracted people really are under the impression that a) third-party ratings are super helpful/crucial, and b) you can get

Executives aren't an industry, they can come from anywhere. From tech to government. Or both, one client was a government appointee who came from an executive position in publishing, she knew she couldn't take the same style into

That's pretty fun to think about. I'd love to see node/graph operations in general become more commonplace and standardized. Unfortunately, I think my node/graph dopamine pathways have been forever altered by node/g

He should make your reply an attachment to his CV. He'll get an amazing job in no time, even if out of sympathy for how he's been treated! You can be direct, gentle, and helpful at the same time. Just takes a little creativity...

Exactly. It all sounds comparatively samey, like "well hey, people over here feel defeated too, lol" and thus you get whataboutism propagating really easily. Anyway...I'm probably overreacting...I should probably go focus on

Yes absolutely. Not only that, but they run those stories through various state channels with the intent to propagandize...even to non-US/UK countries, and even via media like shortwave radio. (While also actively jamming other radio s

He's also talking about making it a prettier app, and he's really into individual liberties and the great-man concept. And he probably has at least a few key devs who are actively trying to subvert him. So I'm thinking: Block

That's a great example. Unfortunately it's also not super helpful to dichotomize the difference, because most people are a mix of both in different ways. For example, under extreme stress or illness, a lot of "ask" peopl

I seem to remember that both LO and Inkscape and possibly GIMP had bugs (since resolved IIRC) that involved this exact thing.
