Curious for your take on Confederate statues in the US

I mean this puts a bad taste in my mouth for the credibility of the letter:

In an email, North Carolina State Board of Elections spokesman Patrick Gannon told Snopes, "Without access to confidential data, there is no way that anyone could know what this individual claims to know about North Carolina's presidential election. North Carolinians cast secret ballots, and cast vote records and ballot images that could potentially provide this information are confidential in North Carolina. My first step in fact-checking this would be to ask the writer to show his work."

I welcome investigation & would fully believe if this is corroborated and true. I won't believe it until then especially when there are crucial discrepancies in tallies that invalidate some (not all) claims from the letter

The source you linked is referencing the claims that snopes is partially debunking

I mean "didn't care enough" == pay an entire separate dev team to develop for potentially each OS (at least windows probably) in languages unfamiliar to the web team. Then separately maintain that desktop app in perpetuity while the backend changes and drifts. This all for a vanishingly small subset of the userbase that could have used the website with identical functionality. It's a similar issue with mobile apps.

I fully see the appeal of electron apps even if it's not perfectly native feeling. I mean vscode is pretty universally liked n that's electron. Also, it being a web app is a huge boon for anyone needing a code editor in browser.

Perhaps frameworks like Tauri will supplant electron soon enough for better performance and native feel.

You don't like when people tell you what to call them? What?

It's not exactly what you mean, but merely mentioning abstinence evokes abstinence educators in the US for me. Abstinence education is bullshit. What kid needs to be told the only way to avoid STDs is to not have sex? Anyone with a functioning brain knows that. Abstinence educators are by and large Christian fundamentalists who go to schools to lie about sex and try to scare kids out of it.

Somehow I attended a public school which had one of these "educators" come by and preach about the purity of abstinence to my entire class. It was surreal and insulting to our intelligence.

Yeah I share the same general impression of him.

What do you notice specifically with text? I have found the app from the app store looks and feels almost identical to Apollo and behaves like a native app, particularly compared to stuff made with Flutter for example.

Other than sounding a bit annoyed that the UI was identical, did Christian express further unhappiness? Love(d) both apps

I would've expected to see more followers after that revelation

Are you going to supply new information? Or just say it's there with the proper "research"
