I would say he's a rapist, yes. He clearly doesn't consider rape to be a problem.

It's honestly an impressive feat of propaganda and social engineering that anyone could ever imagine otherwise.

Comrade, the present situation ain't bringing us closer to socialism.

I'm not very familiar with Portuguese history but my understanding is that authoritarianism in Portugal was ended by the carnation revolution, which was a military coup. I'm curious what this person means as well. You can't vote out authoritarianism, at best you get a dictator kind enough to decide to step down when asked.

Its like a pancake soufflé. I once saw a tiny woman eat an entire dinner plate sized cube of one. It was fascinating. (I think it was mostly air)

I know enough Finnish people to know you're just pulling our legs and it really means exactly what we think.

Not an option in my line of work unfortunately

Yup. Trying to get various work critical specific pieces of software working on Linux is just not a reasonable concept. Dual boot is the only option.

I mean, I could make a list of things I think are problems, but I've been using it since a bit after 9/11 so I dont think my guesses would represent new user experiences. I am mostly going off what people tell me when they try to learn it.

otherwise it's hard to respond to such a vague statement

I wasn't writing advice for the devs, I was making a general statement about why foss stuff doesn't tend to suit glitzy, highly marketable front facing stuff, using gimp as an example

A person would have to known actors much better than I do for something like that, lol

Unless 3.0 has solved it, the gimp has a steep UI problem and a learning curve such that mass appeal on the website would be inappropriate anyway. I love it but I love it because I've been using it my whole life and know it very well. Foss in general struggles with useability due to a lot of hard to overcome problems - mainly, that by the time someone is ready to contribute to any given foss project, they're already intimately familiar with its foibles and probably have strong opinions about what UX elements are sacred cows and should not be fixed.

As a long time - pre version 2 - gimp user my first thought was "what, don't be ridiculous" and now I dont know what to feel. Why would you do this to me personally
