Issue #1 or 5? You decide!

This got a bonus chuckle from me.

For sure, but that's exactly what I was doing. OP linked an article, I thought the framing of the Gemini conversation by the author was a strange choice, and I commented on it.

I can't say I've ever felt any particular obligation to only talk about the direct subject of the article (the threatening message) and not the way the article is written, but maybe I could have led into my observation more clearly?

The anti-Israel crowd

"Harris is the better choice in this fucking awful dilemma the US electoral system gives us" is not pro-Israel. It was a pragmatic option to reduce the damage a little, to lead the US down a better road domestically, and to leave the door open to later activism to stop the genocide where there was no viable third voting option.

Please don't conflate a Harris vote with a pro-Israel stance.

No, regrettably there won't be a major UI overhaul as part of GIMP 3, it's very much under-the-hood improvements. From what I've seen, the maintainers are very open to a UI overhaul, but they don't have the right contributors to do it in a significant way.

That said, functionality like text outlines aren't really a UI/UX feature in the main.
