Not really regretting it though despite some quirks. Out of curiosity, how much RAM do you have in your Framework 13?

And what you're saying is sort of shifting my perspective on non-violent extremist movements that I usually find insufferable. You may not be able to stand them but you do need them.

But what you are failing to mention is that those corporations are made up of humans. And don't just imagine the C-suite when I say that. I'm talking about the developers and other highly-technical positions who may care very little about what's good for the corporation they work for over the long term. Those people also have instincts around and standards for what they consider decent behavior. Many of them (just like most people from most walks of life) will just stop listening if the person making the argument seems actively antagonistic upfront even if they would agree with the main argument that person is making.

Diplomacy does matter whether you like it or not. Especially before the person or people you're trying to persuade have heard your argument.

For example, finding out a friend or relative was in a bad accident is surely gonna be more distracting than someone asking if they can borrow a pen for a few minutes.

I tried it out a couple of years ago and really liked how it had that wild west feel of the old-web.

I tend to mix the thought process involved with programming into other artistic pursuits. I feel it gives me different perspective.
