Then don't say that there is no bias. It insults our intelligence when you on the one hand stand for freedom of speech, take grandstanding that there is no bias whatsoever and when it is inconvenient for you say that bias exists and is

And whether OpIndia is a propaganda website or not doesn't change the fact that the popular account was suspended. You can check it here: https://twitter.com/TrueIndology Is the suspension propaganda too? How far will

OpIndia is not a propaganda website. Period. This is the typical slander that happens when you refer to left-wing articles. If you are referring to left-wing portal Wikipedia as your citation then something is really wrong with you. The poi

Variants are not the same as having an API to override styles of inner components. You can use variants in Material UI too (which btw is inspired by styled-system and prior art): https://material-ui.com/system/basics&#x

> My example takes 8LOC of customization. Yours use 45LOC. That matches my experience with customizing styles on larger project, Chakra is 80% simpler to customize. Since your contention was the LOC and ability to use nested CSS styles,

Are you serious or are you trolling at this point? Because I just mentioned that you don't need to use the components Material UI provides and you can just use the Base components (which is what Chakra provides too or so does any other

Your example doesn't match mine. It just styles the component itself. Not inner components. For that you need a uniform API which neither Emotion nor Chakra provide. Please see my example again. The TextField component is a complex com

Material UI actually is a lot better when it comes to customization. You can just override the provided component styles by creating ad-hoc CSS-in-JS styles and passing it as classes. This is apart from what Chakra UI provides. Both uses so

You don't need to use the Material UI provided theme. You can just use the Base components. Like InputBase [1] or ButtonBase [2] and build your own component out of it. If you spend sometime with Material UI you will realize that it is

It is not a mistake. Twitter has been censoring Right wing accounts in India for past 3 years. The modus operandi is to first suspend a popular account and when there is hue & cry reinstate the account citing some stupid policy reason.

Hahaha they always say that. Trust me Twitter India is the worst when it comes to censorship. They have been randomly suspending accounts and then reinstating them after uproar. This has been going on for a good 3 years. Nothing new for us

But how is Twitter qualified as a fact checker/arbiter? Twitter just cannot assume that role onto itself unless it is specifically chosen to be one and has reported itself as one to the relevant authorities. And once it does that, it b

Notices of fact-checking can be given as a reply to his Tweet. Just like everyone else. Twitter has its own account to rebut anyone if it wants to. If Twitter starts fact-checking by invading his personal virtual space then why don't I

That is not what I think is the issue. The issue is that Twitter is behaving like an editorial. What Twitter did is effectively singling out a politician for his views without any regard for being unbiased (which is what a platform should b
