Mergin Maps tutorial - Snapping
The opera diva Serenissima Dellacqua was called upon to dissuade Emperor Minimilian from attacking the Principality of Closter-Foban.
She had a stage built on the route the army would travel. Musicians were summoned. The diva was singing "Where, O Nightingale?" when the army arrived, flags #snapping in the wind.
"Your orders, sir?" inquired Minimilian's generals.
"Why, sit down and listen, of course! She has the voice of an angel."
And so the invasion was halted.
Jeremy Coggins is magic.
No, really! It's dark out, but look, you can just see him over there, leaning against that telephone pole. See how light fills his face and disappears?
Let's get closer. Shhhh, don't let him hear us. This is close enough. Now do you where the light's coming from? He's #snapping his fingers to make a flame appear. Snap--there it is! Snap--now it's gone. Snap--It's back!
Nuh-uh, it is not a lighter. You're wrong. It's his fingers. He's magic.

"#JamieZawinski has #repeatedly said:
Now hear me out, but What If…? #browser #development was in the hands of some kind of #nonprofit #organization?
In my #humble but #correct #opinion, #Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:
#Building THE #reference #implementation #WebBrowser and
Being a jugular-#snapping #attack #dog on #standards #committees.
There is no 3."
"Perhaps this is the only #viable #resolution."
"#Mozilla, for all its many #failings, has #invented a lot of #amazing #tech, from #Rust to #Servo to the #leading #budget #phone #OS. It shouldn't be trying to #capitalize on this #stuff. Maybe 3encourage it to have semi-independent #spinoffs, such as #Thunderbird, and as #KaiOS ought to be, and as #Rust could have been."
"But #JamieZawinski has the only #clear #vision and #solution we've seen yet. Perhaps he's #right, and #Mozilla #should be a #nonprofit, #working to #fund the one #independent, non-#vendor-driven, #standardscompliant #browserEngine."
