Learn it in a game, then use it on a website. It's a UI convention, not merely a quirk to a multi-select list.


Modifier keys are used elsewhere optionally on operating systems. But no other form control demands knowledge of modifier clicks. It's simply a useless bit of UI and should not be used.


In that vein: Spotify


That's not just a Gmail feature. It's part of RFC 5233. See "Subaddressing."


Indeed, also works at outlook.com / hotmail and others.


I suggest reading The Dawn of Everything, by David Graeber and David Wengrow. They argue that there's not a true dichotomy between agricultural and hunter-gatherer societies. In fact, many societies practice(d) both.


I assume your reply is sarcastic, but just in case, I'll say it directly: this administration does not care whether there is blatant corruption at the top levels, or any other levels for that matter. I'm fact, insofar as it antagonizes liberals, they'll encourage it.


One of the first things the Trump admin did was fire a lot of the inspectors general, including the one for the State Department.

I'd assume the reply you are replying to is being sarcastic specifically in reference to that event.

There's currently an (Acting) IG for State as a replacement, but I think its pretty clear how long that job would last for him if he were to actually do it.


Thank you for reminding me of the IG firings!

No problem.

With all of the crazy "flooding the zone" things that have happened since it seems like it was like ~9 years ago rather than ~9 months ago.


This is bad. Borders should be open.


Citizenship should not be devalued.


I don't believe participation in democratic society requires borders or citizenship.


It might do in Ukraine, or anywhere small with a big autocratic enemy.


This is new. The president's face is on it. That alone should scream, "Something's very much not right!"


The permanent residency card they issue won't look like that. It's an ID, and will have your photo and other identifying information on it.


I believe that's truly beside the point. The marketing is based on the name and tastes (gold, nationalistic imagery) of the current president.


It sounds like the objection you're making is to the website and not the program. Do you think it's always inappropriate for executive branch websites to reflect the style of the person in office? I can understand the push for a more neutral style, but the level of shock-and-horror for something the next administration could easily redesign seems.. excessive?


"So what if Adolf is putting banners of his face up everywhere, the next admin can just take them down!"


I agree with this assessment, and Mamdani's popularity in NYC provides some credence to this. Voters have wanted the Dems to move left since at least 2016, but the Democratic establishment routinely punishes those who aren't moving rightward.


Party has moved been moving left since Clinton. Clinton was more conservative than George W Bush. Balance Budgets(fired a bunch government workers), welfare reform,NAFTA etc.


The base has been, the representatives have been sclerotic. A good number of them came in with clinton and have had essentially the same politics as clinton.

Biden had a decent representation of left cabinet picks. But otherwise, the party has been pretty slow to change. Obama, in particular, gets remember as being progressive yet he truly was not. He took some antiwar stances and then failed to deliver on those promises. That was about the end of his left leaning policies.


I found this post useful in understanding this phenomenon: https://www.offmessage.net/p/how-liberalism-sabotages-itself

The basic gist is that the left is too generous in its understanding of others' intentions, assuming good intentions from all actors long past the point where that's rational.


They're also coopted by their donors and the thinking they can't be mean to their "colleagues", look at all the democrats saying they're "waiting for the republican party to come back". They want the same status quo they had in the past because it serves those already in power there, they can continue to collect donations and salaries if it all stays the same without doing much work.

Look at how desperate they all were to leave DC and go on vacation, these people are not serious and they don't think there will be any consequence to them.


I would love to see how this overlaps with folks' preferred languages, frameworks, and tools.
