I think you need to take a break and get some perspective.

Besides, the Twitter link was already posted by the OP, why would it need to be posted again?

It was a revelation at some point in my young life when I realized that CEOs (and any other executive position) are not the highly trained and capable leaders with grand business acumen that I was led to believe they are. Literally anyone can be a CEO for a few dollars and their name on a business registration with the local government, no training or capability is required.

Horrifying in retrospect to realize how many people lionize executives simply for adopting a title.

I haven't used it much myself, it could be too early in it's development to be useful, just thought I'd mention it though!

It looks like tabs are supported, but they call them an OptionContainer.

It seems like one sacrifices a lot of customizability for simplicity of code with this toolkit, but that might be fine for some use-cases.

I've historically used PySide (the free-license version of Qt) but for simple stuff like you're looking for, you might get some mileage out of the Toga GUI toolkit. It's relatively new, but promising.

I've actually been pretty impressed with the whole suite of BeeWare stuff in my informal testing so far; it's a nice little bundle of tools. (Specifically I'm interested most in their distribution approach; building Python apps for distribution is a giant fucking pain, but this group seems to have improved the experience significantly.)

It's not the AI that is a threat to people's livelihoods, it's the capitalists who want AI to be used that way. A tool is just a tool.

Just pointing out how ironic it is that your response to someone informing you that you are being manipulated by police propaganda is to... go find stats sourced from the police to argue that you feel justified agreeing with the police propaganda.

KDE Connect should fit the bill; despite the name, you don't need to be using KDE (or Linux even) since there are clients for every major OS, even mobile.

Among many other cool features, it lets you easily and simply just send a file from one device directly to another on your local network. I use it all the time to send photos from my phone to my desktop without plugging anything in, for example.

I don't understand; how would a potential mugger or murderer know ahead of time that you don't have a banking app installed on your phone?

I read somewhere that proper emojis are more accessible for screen readers, so I've avoided using the old style smiley versions and textmojis ever since.

Spam is just pork and ham mixed with some salt and sugar, I don't see how that's not "real food", people all over the planet have eaten those things as food for thousands of years before someone had the audacity to ...put it in a can for convenient distribution.

One time when I lived in Utah, I literally got pulled over for driving the speed limit. Literally. The cop told me that I needed to go with the flow of traffic instead. He didn't give me a ticket, but it was still an annoying interruption to my day, and I assume it gave him a power boner of some sort.

But another time, living in the same area, I got pulled over by a different cop for going with the flow of traffic, because speeding isn't justified even when everyone else on the road is.

As another comment said, you're fucked if you do and fucked if you don't. Although, I do prefer the alternative of going with the flow of traffic to avoid road rage incidents as you've pointed out.

I'm not convinced that those deletion tools work on Reddit either; there's nothing stopping Reddit (or whatever site you're trying to scrub) from restoring your edits (which they've done to lots of people recently) or even just viewing the older version of your comment that is still present in their database without publicly showing that text.

Just because you've used some script that claims to scrub your data doesn't mean it did so. At most you may have toggled an is_deleted=true flag, or added another edit entry to the table your original comment was stored in, but that doesn't mean nobody has your data anymore.

The only way to be sure nobody can ever see your post history is to never make posts in the first place.
