  • Nope.

    The reason you do react native is because it’s easier to hire react native devs. Further, there’s a plethora of react native libraries that make it easier to make UXes above other UX frameworks.

    The problem MS has is they have spent decades making platform locked UX frameworks because they were deathly afraid someone would use Linux instead of Windows.

    Browser tech won because every major platform needs a browser and basically no organization was investing in multiplatform UX libraries. The likes of both Microsoft and Apple are openly hostile to such frameworks (QT and GTK come to mind).


  • You’re probably affected by this even if you didn’t participate.

    The thing about genetics is you can make reasonable predictions about individuals if you have data on their relatives. Heck, you can reasonably make regional predictions with genetic data that will be fairly accurate.

    If any of your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, etc took this test, then you are now at least a little exposed.


  • I literally had an econ professor years ago who directly told us “do not take a genetics test”. This was before the ACA

    The reason was simple. It’s information that once a private company gets a hold of it, they will use it to hurt you. Whether it’s a drug company that learns you’re predisposed to addiction, so better to give you it people around you nice temporary discounts on addictive meds, or an insurance company that learns you’re predisposed to cancer, so better to look for ways to deny or drop coverage.

    Once these companies know a little bit about your nature, they’ll exploit any aspect possible to increase profits.

    This was not a progressive/socialist econ professor. Just someone who knows how capitalism works.



  • Former staffer that resigned because of the Gaza policy and was not involved in the 2024 election.

    From the article, since you didn’t bother to read.

    Harris has not been the candidate many of us wanted. Her candidacy is historic, but she and the Democratic Party have failed to champion a truly progressive agenda — one needed not only to motivate her base, but to take on the right wing’s increasingly fascist policies and rhetoric. It has been devastating to see Harris refuse to break with Biden on Israel, adopt xenophobic talking points about immigration policy, and campaign alongside hawkish, pro-war Republicans.

    And yeah, I 100% agree with the author. Her position is and remains mine. If you’d bother to read the article, you’d see she even supported the uncommitted movement, which guess who the protest voters were?

    You are struggling to square away that I have empathy and understand why people couldn’t stomach Harris. Stop calling people “morons” because they can’t as easily justify genocide as you can.

    Also do note that rather than addressing my challenge, you proved my point. Harris had identical Gaza policies to Biden and the only reason to vote for her was the fact that there were some pro Palestinian Democrats. You vote for her not because she’s better in Gaza, but out of the hope that members of her caucus could moderate her position.



  • Produce any media where she even hinted at having a different Gaza policy.

    Israel started the genocide early after Oct 7, it’s not escalated. They’re already leveled over 80% of Gaza and destroyed every hospital and piece of infrastructure under Biden.

    Tell me, how is that at all different from Trump’s current policy?

    Edit: for the down voters, I don’t care. My point is made by you not being able to do anything other than down vote. You know I’m right and that makes you mad. No media exists which will absolve Kamala on Israel.


  • Not to me.

    Biden’s and by extension Kamala’s Israel policy was functionally identical to Trump’s. The atrocities happening under Trump were happening under Biden. The only thing that’s changed is now that Trump is in charge it’s become acceptable for left leaning media to criticize that policy. Under Biden, outlets like MSNBC literally fired everyone with even an incling of pro Palestinian rhetoric. They framed genocide protestors as antisemites.

    And it wasn’t just Biden. Practically the entire DNC was 100% behind Israel.

    The people protesting had friends and family killed by US muntins that the Biden admin never even hinted at threatening to reduce, even after Israel doing things like murdering aid workers. Even after blowing past every single “red line”.

    Go watch Antony Blinken talk about Israel. It’s disgusting, but there really was no difference in rhetoric between him and the current Trump admin.

    You don’t understand the protest vote because, like Biden, you didn’t look into or care about the protesters until it became something you could use to bitch about Trump or voters that didn’t do what you wanted.

    And yes, I voted for Kamala and told everyone to vote for her. Her campaign shat the bed by chasing right-wing voters and by ignoring the genocide their admin continued to aid. “At least I’m not the other guy” does not work or inspire votes.
