I like the name, it’s a fun portmanteau of Tkinter and intergalactic. It’s also more search engine friendly and less likely to hit a name collision with another project.

People also forget just how far you can get without using client side JavaScript at all today. HTML and CSS have a lot of features built in that used to require JavaScript.

The prevailing sentiment is that once you hit scaling issues with frameworks like Rails or Django you should have enough resources to simply throw money at the problem either in the form of more hardware, cloud computing, or better software

Trump is complicated. He doesn't neatly fit into the boxes that our politicians usually fit in. He's neither fully right nor fully left. As I have said elsewhere, I think the left versus right wing distinction is no longer suit

My solution to this is a combination of Game Pass and only buying games on sale. If you’re patient enough there is very little reason to pay full price for games.

I would argue that the American right wing has actually shifted a bit leftward in the past few decades. Gay marriage is now accepted by most Republicans for example. Trump is in many ways a 90s Democrat. His stance on illegal immigration

I’ll be honest, as an American looking in from the outside, this looks like the leftist parties in Germany trying to silence the opposition. If the party is expelling the true extremists like the Neo-Nazi former party members that you ment

I’m not a German so take this with a massive amount of salt, but what makes them extreme-right? Is it the anti-immigrant stance or is there more that I’m missing? They just seem to be regular right wing by American standards.

No, not EU countries, but they did annex Tibet, several islands in the South China Sea, and they have every intention of invading Taiwan in the future. Then there’s the belt and road initiative, which is essentially neocolonialism. Edit: I

This is the biggest reason why I avoid them like the plague. 95% of the time they will mess up some part of my order. When I do break down and buy McDonald’s for my kids I always double check the whole order before I leave the parking lot

Why can’t we just agree that both are really, really bad? The amount of mental gymnastics that each side does to justify such blatant corruption is astounding.

All corruption and law breaking should be investigated and prosecuted as appropriate. I don’t care what side they are on. Our entire political class is full of corruption. For the record I’m also not a fan of the Trump meme coins, Jared

Jared Kushner is just as much a “private citizen” as Hunter Biden is. Hunter Biden blatantly and corruptly sold his father’s influence. There’s even evidence that Joe got his “10% for the big guy” on these dealings. It’s a massive disgust

You can’t see why average Americans would want a change from many of the Biden Administration’s policies? It has nothing to do with racism, xenophobia, or transphobia. A lot of the policies were just objectively bad for average everyday A
