The US is not exactly one country. It's more like 50 waring states bolted together by a fairly thin federal system. Europeans would be surprised at how much the fed doesn't actually control and what is done is controlled by proxy.

Regardless. The first past the post system in both the US and UK create a "loudest mouth wins" system, which makes it appear like the countries are rabidly crazy. But they're actually just subjugated non-democracies.

Did you read Liberal as meaning Socialist?

In America, liberals are for "social society" not a "social economy"

Studies don't make it clear what they're measuring.

Today's #inkscape update is out: https://youtu.be/N4ACZkb0_-g

All about the new color management interface, and the documentation, the workflow and getting feedback.

Please do comment if you have thoughts on the designs.

It's because Proprietary software's entire organisational principle is to carve out incompatible monopoly fiefdoms free from government oversights and market forces.

People think open source is some hippie commune thing, but it's really not. It hews far closer to free trade open markets where you can pick and choose your support separate from your supplier at every level.

It's difficult to make a living doing open source, but it's fair to the consumer.

@brunus ah then may i recommend the inkscape stable ppa, or the appimage. No need to snap on debian, better options are available. :awesome:

Account moved! Huzzah!

More lessons learned about federated software... and compatibilities.

Big thanks to everyone who manually moved themselves yesterday ❤️
