Re: Fox toolkit future?

Good afternoon all!

Apologies for the snark last night (US/EST), I was being very passive
aggressive, for personal reasons, and I apologize for that.

But my point is that you can't just discount a whole group of people just
because they "never went to college," because it's not at all relevant to
even GitLab being a superior code hosting platform, since the  point of CI
is automatically building packages to make sure that each project commit
still functions properly.

Thank you, and happy weekend!
