If one of my former students went to work for the Murdoch family's Fox "News" I would count that as a profound failure on my part.

Progressive liberal & leftist American Jews have been getting yelled at for nearly two decades for speaking up about Israel’s ongoing rightward shift & embrace of the intolerant & we have been marginalized & pushed out of the communal tent. Suddenly, liberals sound like we did.

Are there freelancers in the @FlatpakApps community who can be contracted for a few days' work bundling an (Electron) app as a #Flatpk and submitting it to #Flathub? I'm looking to make an introduction to another organisation that's not so familiar with the platform.
