> The way I see it, if "let's talk when you get a minute" comes across as spooky that means you already have a communication breakdown and mistrust has already blossomed.

I think this might not necessarily be the case. Judging from the frequency the topic is brought up here on HN, a lot of highly skilled, well-performing people suffer from impostor syndrome or other forms of anxiety in the workplace. A ‘spooky’ message then easily leads to reinforcement of their (skewed) negative self-image, without it having anything to do with distrust in either direction.

P.S. I do completely agree with both the scenario and conclusion you illustrate in the rest of your comment and think my supplement of the premise in your first sentence in no way changes the validity of said scenario and conclusion.

Searching for "kicad", "kicad pcb" or "kicad-pcb" on DDG, Google, Bing and Brave, only Brave still shows a link to kicad-pcb.org on the first page, so the campaign seems to be going in the right direction

I like the text editor but I love the serendipitous social experiment going on in chat room 2.

You need to install outrun on the remote machine but you don't need to install the target command on the remote machine.

This reads word for word like the plot of an episode of the Simpsons.

Homer the blissfully ignorant brewery worker takes the trip of his life but ends up at the wrong side of the continent from his intended destination where he becomes a local celebrity and gets coersed into all kinds of harmless adventures, like kissing the local seal. As his boss wants capitalize on his fame without giving him a raise, he retaliates by advertising their competitor on national television. He ends up back home, without a job, and with a recurring tax bill for a piece of land he has no intention of ever using. Nonetheless happier than ever.

I love how life is often stranger than fiction.
