I'd wager they have read their own rules. The GDPR is riddled with language to the effect of "lol but not EU governments OBVIOUSLY GUYS COME ON". I think GDPR is a great law, but if there's one critique of it'd I&#x

Thanks, I do appreciate it :) I'll also completely understand if the decision is that I'm too much in the minority to support on this front. There are always trade-offs to be made as a product grows, the important thing is that th

Hi Suri, since we're here and talking about this I too would like to let you know that I'm actively considering alternatives to gitlab for this reason. I originally started using gitlab because it provided a VCS with a really nice

Isn't that something that could be solved by shipping it with a 50c piece of metal between the bars during shipping as a surrogate for the wheel axle? Given the list prices, seems like they could stretch to that, and it'd be more
