Something is terribly off though.
You knew MAGA is going to vote MAGA, come hell or high water.
It is the 4 yearly circus that is on everyone's mind (cars, posts, TVs, front porches, gates). Thus, there's no ignorance to be pleaded here.
And, if you as a society is so polarised / galvanised, and Trump's first term is as terrible as everyone is making it out to be, the answer is to...
stay away?
All 13 million of you?
After you've voted in droves to get Trump out in the first place?
Really puzzling.
Please make it make sense. It doesn't for me.

13 million lost votes - that's the minus on Harris vs Biden vote counts.
The difference between Biden and Obama votes are 12 million.
The amount of people that voted Trump stayed the same.
Few questions/observations
1. Where did these millions of people go? Given demographics ito children vs adults vs voting split, this equates to 30 000 000+ no longer being around.
2. Did they stay away?
3. If they did, why did they stay away? They didn't for Hillary. So it can't be for gender. They_possibly_did for Obama, so it could have been due to racism.
4. Or was it because she was such a bad candidate? She only got 2% on her own primaries so, maybe?
5. Where the voters there in the first place? Is there somehow credibility to a vote steal?
This is weird. You can't pull off such a huge (in the millions) fraud so I doubt that is the case.
And I doubt that so many people got to vote Biden as a rebuke to the 4 years of Trump, just to stay away for another term of Trump?
Puzzling.

Don't think I agree with this? Should one not adopt the standards of the platform you're developing for?
Same with Windows users, there's the AppData folder to put things in.
Opening up c:\Users\$user and seeing a bunch of dot directories is not great.

@npub129g…4kwg That's incidentally the same argument someone gave me for putting goto in his C code... Just a quick set and break from the most inner loop...

@npub129g…4kwg Like a C goto but actually not something that's going to eat your children.

Seems like the #serde #rustlang situation turned back to sanity.
The mystery meat binary has been removed.
