FPTP does destroy a lot, I’ll give you that, but municipal and regional elections have miserable turn-outs too and they have much more potential for perceptible change than state or national change.

In the USA things have to get way worse than they are now before they get better. A very very large percentage of voters would have to be fed up with FPTP to force change in that area. Also, they would have to be educated enough to understand that FPTP is a problem.

Probably a lot more stuff would get done in KDE with more money, no? Big things like moving away from Bugzilla, supporting more languages like Python and Rust for KDE app development, (way) better documentation, marketing, ads, fulltime employees (marketing, UX/UI designers, developers, sysadmins, devops, lawyers, etc.).

I’d love to work for KDE for example, but without having to first contribute to it for years, get recognised by some important community members, give talks, and then finally maybe see some money to work fullfime on a project. There are probably many, many developers who would rather write opensource code fulltime, remotely and be paid a livable wage instead of toiling away in some for-profit business writing proprietary code built on top of opensource and never contributing back to the greater good.

Google eliminated IMAP years ago in favor of OAuth and their API. Thunderbird kept up, I think. KMail didn’t

Honestly thought they’d be the same org. Having another company in the middle seems like a way to siphon funds.

Apple should be called Malus, honestly. It’s the Latin designation for “common apple” and sounds evil: exactly what Apple is.

I’ve had multiple responses asking to take a test before any call or interview. A fair bit, actually. Only agreed to it once and won’t do it again either, but in this economy, it wouldn’t surprise me if desperation drove people to just do it.

what’s with the dots?

Why would they be dead on Android?

That would explain part of it. The video I watched said something about a viral crowd-funding campaign and a very active social media team.

Are KDE apps linux only?

You don’t think there’s a difference between “Why the fuck would you do that, you nincompoop?” and “Haha, why”?
