Many types of ISVs and micro-SaaS solution providers have to take OEM costs into consideration because what they provide, and what the customer needs, is quite specific.

Costs and "pain" entirely depend on the vertical market and where you live and serve within it. In a broad sense, you are right in the cost of the license across much of the industry is a non-issue, and it is that support that matters. However if you sell into many vertical markets, it matters.

Most of the high schools are good, some better than others. Check the most recent district map because they seem to change fairly often.

Interesting platform and target audience, though I wonder if that ramp between 'up to 1,000' and 'business territory' is serving you well.

Always exciting when we can ship with new localizations - in this case, Japanese & Italian in 17.3. So many solutions miss out on gaining significant traction that comes with this. But localization is just one part of a global strategy. Starve less when the well of early adopters start to dry up.

Not that I spent much time thinking about it, but it looks like the #soviet union tried to jump-start their own CD and CD player industry in the 1980s. hackaday.com/2026/03/29/s...

Someone tried to go "Made in EU" for his development projects. Worth reading. www.coinerella.com/made-in-eu-i...

"Made in EU" - it was harder than I thought.
I tried building my startup entirely on European infrastructure. Here's the stack I landed on, what was harder than expected, and what you still can't avoid.

Right, maybe the way I put it was in-specific. We've had immutable Linux use for a really long time now, with embedding Linux in routers, for example, and update with flashing a ROM (and few doing it).

Oregon has' least restrictived' a lot of people to misery and death. There are a lot of Oregonians that have had to go into the criminal justice system multiple times before a judge decides its time to do something. This is entirely at the feet of the Oregon legislature.

That's an extension of the path of doom for Oregon. People making over $100K pay an effective rate of 31%. Over $250K, its 41%. Moving across the river then, makes a lot of sense. In the USA, the average is 25.95%. The answer is more middle class jobs and lower taxes.

#Carpetbagger Kotek has been an insider to the race-to-the-bottom of Oregon since 2006. Massive tax increases, lower affordability, education system near the bottom. Great support two previous two governors.

I am just going by what I see online as I stopped upgrading creative suite once they went to a subs only model. My personal vector needs are limited (I get by with Designer) - my business is more focused on 3D / fx markets, though we distributed a Japanese photography software for several years.

It looks great! I'd really like to see some sort of statement / comparison to, say, Affinity Designer. I think there's definitely room for more than one vector design tool on the market. When there's one or more big fish, knowing the differences can make the difference.

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

It looks good though if you are shooting a 'research' scene for a movie that takes place in the 80s and earlier.
