  • In this case when we’re talking about “non-voter” it’s about the uncommitted movement, not about the deliberately disenfranchised.

    The Republican party is thrilled with the uncommitted movement and has done as much as possible to push for their success.

    It’s not that I disagree with the uncommitted movement in principle: I hope that their push brings about real change. They are useful to the Republican party nonetheless, and if key battleground states like Michigan are lost because of them it will be a major blow to any hope of incremental change.

    The Democratic party has to be the big tent party because the Republicans are the party of narrow minded bigotry. That does mean that there will always be leftists dissatisfied with the DNC.

    When that dissatisfaction leads to “cutting off your own nose to spite your face” behavior is when the leftist purity culture becomes a problem.

    The shifting of the Overton window is real and an important part of the American Republican playbook.

    However the above commenter is not talking about American Republicans, they’re talking about the purity culture among leftists that prevents them from voting for left leaning liberals.

    In the current election the choices are 1 step to the left or 50 yards to the right, and because it’s not 2 steps to the left they refuse to vote.





  • Hi! Professional android dev here who has done some work on migrating an app to foldable:

    Apps don’t guess. If they’re using XML they make specific layouts for a given width of screen.

    If they’re using compose it’s even easier: the entire UI library is built for adaptive layouts. The main issue is a lot of apps are not in compose UI (or not entirely) - and material 3 has excellent components but it’s even less widely used.

    Tldr: tech debt

    A potential cause of the wonkiness is explicitly setting resizeableActivity="false" in the app manifest.
