I don't think there is a single answer to state management with htmx as in "put your key-value pairs here“. Instead the page depicts the application state and offers ways to change it or to change what is depicted each time updati

You are correct if you read this as a claim about the people ("the people must be biased because they all have ethnicity x"). But it was probably meant as a claim about biased institutions/processes („processes/instituti

Aristotle wrote very widely. From the first description of octopus mating behavior to the first stab at formal logic ever, there are probably a lot of topics where he was wrong, but also a lot of other ones where he was right, where debate

Ok, but that doesn't seem to apply to "normal" graffiti does it? People remove them all the time, even when they are quite good or interesting.
