@whitequark that account remains great
AMT@whitequark what is disappointing for me is that framework went from respectable to fascist between my order(Q2) to delivery(Q4) cycle.
@amt my view is that they (the CEO) were always Like This, but at first they managed to deceive a lot of people by not being loud and proud about the ideas involved
