Minetest (an open-source Minecraft-like game) uses SQLite to save worlds.

Some things I like from the left:

• The general idea of changing things that are bad instead of sticking to traditions
• Gay marriage and other rights
• More efficient and affordable healthcare
• Abortion (though ideally I'd find it fair if “paper abortion” was also a thing)
• FOSS (though most people don't have a strong opinion on that)
• Public transportation

Some things I like from the right:

• General cautiousness about the negative effects of new policies (for example, schools catering to problematic students at the expense of the other students)
• Trying to minimize unnecessary government intervention
• Support of free speech (used to be a leftist thing, seems to depend on who is being censored more)
• Cautiousness about illegal immigration
• Banning of harmful addictive drugs

And what I don't like about either:

• Takes on gender/race equality (left tries to achieve it but has a different idea of what equality looks like, right seems content with inequality)
• Voter fraud prevention (right wants the requirement of a driving license or something, left wants no verification at all; I like the normal system of requiring an identity card that every citizen gets for free from the government)

Based on these, I'd consider myself centrist or maybe a bit left-leaning, but the far left would consider me a Nazi and the far right would consider me a communist or something.

Also note that I'm not from the USA and I see USA politics through the lens of what I know to work and not work in my country.

Nothing. And neither should we take anything from the far left. It's the moderates that have good ideas.

“Best of both worlds” doesn't literally mean expressing everything on a numeric scale and averaging it out.

capitalism believes that the market should regulate itself

Anarcho-capitalism ⊊ capitalism.

Nah, I don't want to visit a site that publicly admits to invasive tracking.

No, I just don't want sites like this to appear in my search results.

Cookies aren't nearly the only form of tracking.

Yes, but it shows how they behave toward people who aren't in the EU.

It's not a business website, I opened it for some random math article.

it was kinda satisfying to fill one of those blended colours and then alternatively fill with the two colours that made the blend and watch it slowly creep out to fill the entire space

You might like this puzzle.

It's also known as The Only Thing Written in Haskell That People Actually Use.

Still more useful than 99% of JavaScript libraries.

Cars are not primarily designed for running over people. And despite that, they're regulated more than guns.

Are you also against the requirement of driving licenses?

You're describing a representational democracy. What do you think about direct democracy?

Yes, but if you use something like cat, head, less, etc. to view code, or the Python REPL, you're still going to see the default tab size.

Be specific. Which exact part would you abstract away and how?

If anyone didn't notice, everything on this page is a link.

It's not just “might”. Termux is pretty much the only good choice for programming on Android.

I think 9 is the best size for indent (matter of preference), do you think I should switch to space

I think you should switch to an exorcist.
