   Your comment made me wonder if there are any way to contribute to design in FOSS project the same way people contribute to the code? Does anyone know of any FOSS project that has a documented UI and UX contribution process?

   I tought this was a very niche project but there are obviously enough people interested to pay Gina $5400 every month. I assume even after patreon takes it cut (?) and German taxes she has enough money to live a comfortable life.

   keyboard shortcuts have their place, but it is not a real solution here. Compare 1. Press Ctrl+Shift+A on keyboard 2. Select alignment mode with the mouse 3. Press Ctrl+Shift+F on keyboard 4. Change color with the mouse

   Now I finally have a legit reason to join patreon. Thank you for reminding us! Are there any other FOSS developers on patreon?

   Inkscape on the other has started to show gradual decline in the UI department. For example every time you open a tool (the small dialogs on the right) all others will collapse. Since you normally jump back and forth between these tools dur

    TL;DR: whatsapp "backdoor" was really to access messages if phone was lost. Google aims to clarify similar security-vs-convenience trade-offs in a new projects. Having read many EFF articles, this one has a very different vibe to

    I have the same question! I don't really understand where this could be usable and I would rather see the pi foundation use their resources to upgrade and sell more Pi Zeros!

    What are the benefits of accepting kicad files instead of gerbers? I understand people can make errors when generating gerbers but they can also make tons of errors when sending you the kicad files (like not including custom libraries).

    But I am not familiar enough with the firefox code to do this. I might unknowingly create a whole new set of security issues by changing a few lines in a project of this complexity.

    Could not agree more (see my other comment). Firefox should slim down to reduce the attack surface.

    I am sure there are people who would love a browser that can control their car or pacemaker and report their bank balance on the welcome page. But I personally would feel far more secure if there was a firefox-lite where no sensitive stuff

    I think systemd would benefit from a slower adaptation. The network and boot issues that practically everyone have encountered are mostly due to incorrect default configurations. This shows that the maintainers are not ready to use systemd
