Pretty sure that would go a long way in Austin.

Incidentally, also terrorist-supporrinf organizations.

In absolute terms, they aren't the majority. 73m voted for him out of the 161m eligible voters in the US, or ~45% (Harris has ~43%). Still a frighteningly high number, but it also means it's possible to find support for resistance, at least if things start to get bad enough. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Americans that like to think that politics don't concern them and that we should just be apolitical. So they're going to need a wake-up call first before they would lend their support. Trump will likely give it to them in short order as his fascist policies start to directly affect them.

Also, keep in mind that the total population (~334m as of 2023) is much larger than the population that is eligible to vote. There are many young people that are too young to vote now but still old enough to fight tyranny, former felons who are ineligible to vote but eager to fight oppressive systems, not to mention the scores of people not counted among eligible voters due to not being registered to vote, either through complacency/disillusionment (see above) or active sabotage and disenfranchisement by Republicans (and in many ways, you could say these are one in the same).

Fascists may have power and have won the popular vote, but it doesn't mean it's the will of the people. It means they've successfully gamed our very broken system. But real, average people living their lives will fight when the oppression comes to them. Maybe it will be too late, but maybe not. Revolution only needs a single spark.

First of all, not all state legislatures are the same. Nebraska has a unicameral system, and despite the issues with the legislature, it's overall a much better system than a bicameral one. A bicameral state legislature makes even less sense than a federal one. The federal government should be unicameral.

This isn't 1789. We aren't some loosely federated collection of colonies anymore. We are one nation, and no citizen should have greater voting power than another. The interest of a state can be effectively represented by that state's representatives working together towards a common goal.

While that's true, it doesn't make it right. All representation should be proportionate.

I agree, but it should also be something people do because they care about doing the right thing and value democracy, irrespective of what social media tells them to do.

Bitch that's called voting.

God all these TikTok trends are so fucking dumb. I guess if it sways votes to Harris that's good, but what a sorry state of affairs we have that there are people out there that need to be drip-fed content in order to do their civic responsibility and stop fucking fascism.

You only need 1 tab to OOM if that tab is Jira. I've literally had tabs take up more than 10GB.

In my neighborhood, I've seen some houses take down their Trump signs. Dunno if it means anything, but I don't think I had ever seen that before.

How is that pronounced? wow-wow-rohn?

Oh I'm sure, wasn't saying otherwise. The whole thing is a joke.

I believe it's saying that the drive-thru was open but the restaurant interior was closed.

Robin Williams killed himself due to early onset dementia from brain disease: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Williams#Death.

Anarchism is not chaos, which is what it seems like you think it means. Anarchism is the opposition to hierarchy and is thus directly opposed to fascism and therefore Trump. No anarchist wants to see Trump win because it means fascism has won.

I actually tend to drop off my mail ballots at the local library drop box.

I wasn't suggesting making JSON "REST" APIs (not actually REST, more accurately you might call them JSON data APIs or something). I meant protocols that are specifically meant for RPC, like gRPC, JSON-RPC, etc. Or message queues like RabbitMQ.

Ah I see, my bad. You mentioned Ruby on rails and GraphQL so I assumed you were talking about some kind of MPA situation.

Yeah htmx doesn't replace data APIs for sure. Still not a fan of GraphQL for that purpose for the reasons above. There's a lot of good options for RPC stuff, or even better, you can use message queues. GraphQL is just a bad idea for production systems, IMO.

I was replying to someone talking about GraphQL and Ruby on rails, not the OP of this post.

I don't know what you mean by an API standard, but yes, it is technically a JavaScript library. But that's only an implementation detail and the spirit of htmx is that you write very little JavaScript. Javascript is simply used to extend the HTML standard to support the full concept of hypermedia for interactive applications. An htmx-driven application embraces hypertext as the engine of application state, rather than the common thick client SPAs hitting data APIs. In such a model, clients are truly thin clients and very little logic of their own. Instead, view logic is driven by the server. It has been around for quite a long time and is very mature.

It's fundamentally different than most JavaScript libraries out there, which are focused on thick clients by and large.
