HTML is not that bad. I’d still argue that writing HTML e-mails is just a really bad idea. But yes, org has a somewhat cleaner syntax.

HTML is text and org is basically a better Markdown. :-)

+1 for mu4e, really awesome software. There are a few HTML composing tweaks possible, I use org-msg that lets me compose HTML with org. (See my configuration.)

Honestly: Ask the creator of that website. There is no technical reason for this.

Paying developers to do work definitely helps.

The lead developer of GIMP currently receives about €1,200 per month in donations via PayPal, and the entire GIMP project receives even more via LiberaPay. Admittedly, this is not really ‘their paid job’.

But now I’ve had to listen to open source fans for over twenty years saying that open source software shows that you don’t need a lot of money, just a lot of volunteers to do much better work together. I don’t doubt that (for example) Blender is excellent software, donations or not (they didn’t always exist). But why does this concept fail when it comes to image editing software?

If it is “a BSD”, Windows is a BSD too.

GIMP had almost 25 years to be acceptable. It is still awful to use. Serif’s Affinity was awesome within half a decade.

Must be something with free software that just sucks.

macOS is not really BSD. It uses a Mach-like kernel with some of FreeBSD and OpenBSD in its userland. However, given that Linux and some versions of Windows also use BSD code in their network stacks, it should be obvious that “it uses BSD code” is not the same thing as “it is BSD”.

Linux would be nothing without Unix.

Don’t.

I don’t think you really understand my comment.

There are more counter-examples (paganism is another) than examples.

Christianity is not the same thing as religion.

You do have a point.

Nothing’s wrong with religion. I don’t believe that Buddhists automatically make an objectively worse choice than atheists.

She has a point though. There should be a minimum amount of reason to be allowed to vote. Some people shouldn’t be allowed to vote, because if they do, this is what happens.

And it still does not support my server.

Not yet.

No. Git is inefficient for small numbers of files. Just do a “find | wc” and/or a “du -hs” in your repository folder. SVN exists for a reason.

Git might be over engineered for this purpose. Maybe SVN?
