Thank you. This was the most constructive reply I've received.

I do acknowledge the issues raised by OP; my quote: "...exposing and criticizing the very issues you mention."

I read the original comment as a generalization that the US is grouped in with those other countries due to these issues. My reply was simply to refute that primarily on the fact that we have the ability to discuss and solve these issues that those other countries do not have. It is an important distinction in my opinion.

Maybe I misread the intent - it appears from some of the fiery responses I've received that may be true. :(

I honestly don't feel/think I am being defensive here. I've even asked for correction if I am wrong. I'm not asking people to "guess" what I might be thinking, hence the discussion.

Correct me if I am wrong, but you appear to believe that because I stated we have the freedom to have an open and critical dialogue around these issues - something one is unlikely to have in N. Korea, etc. - that I am implying we do not have these problems. That is not what I had stated.

No one is claiming that it invalidates the others.

To group the US in with the likes of N. Korea and China is dishonest and inaccurate. If the US were run by either of those governments, you would not have Jon Oliver, Washington Post, etc. exposing and criticizing the very issues you mention.

> We are all adults, can't we just sit down and talk and sort out issues?

I really wish this were universally true, but many of us deal with the wildly different personalities of our co-workers and bosses. This leaves some uneasy and insecure about sharing even constructive feedback. I don't think surveys are the answer, but for some it is much easier to take those than try to tip-toe around.

Grass doesn't grow on a busy street...

Yes, but that doesn't imply they're justifying a financial cost. It could be that they need to justify creating a new repo and figuring out how/where to host it.

Not how I read that.

>So, one big reason for not moving Krita's development to github is that I simply do not trust them.

>We cannot be forced by a venture capitalist to monetize our projects by adding malware installers. We own our stuff, which means we can trust our stuff.

Whether you agree or disagree, they did in fact make an argument.

What if I want to have this authentication process on my email account itself? :) The only other option (soon to be available) is SMS. Seems a bit too limiting and maybe not completely practical.

Hmmm... 8GB max? That doesn't cut it for the amount of claims data I generally deal with. Any rationale behind that limit?
