i think this is the insidious thing about polarization:
people in the middle get caught in the crossfire of harsh rhetoric. and it is hard to blame people for this, an eye for an eye is so easy and tempting.
I've had right wingers criticize me with patronizing "anti-commie" rhetoric, but the worst has been shaming (yes actual shaming and exclusion) from my peers because i (mostly) agree with them in a contrarian way that they dont like or attempt to understand.
i don't really interact with many right wingers day to day, so this difference might just be a result of that bias.
I'm curious if this kind of thing happens to right wingers as well, or if there is less such "friendly-fire" on the right.
I have built a web app for streaming music (for personal use/satisfaction) that i primarily use as a mobile PWA.
PWA is sort of like if you tied an electron app to the user's installed browser, so you are still going to have browser specific quirks. Not all browsers support installing a PWA (most notably for me, safari on macos).
On mobile (especially iOS) PWA can have considerable limitations compared to a traditional app, but less limited than running the app "as a websute". Local storage limits come to mind. I believe a PWA on iOS can only store 50mb?
Distributing it is in theory VERY easy. but its not a common way that users install apps, so it comes with more explanation than simply saying "download from the App store".
React native is a whole other thing entirely, and is not limited to simply being an embedded website in a browser wrapper.
If there already exists a web version of the application, then the saved effort might be worth these quirks, but if its a greenfield project I'm not sure the "Ease of development" actually beats something like React Native.
Even with a diagnosis from an age of 12 (!!!), and testimonies from teachers and parents going even further back, I was still being stonewalled for months on getting medication as an adult.
This was after they took my diagnosis (demanded a redo, came to a conclusion after 2 appointments and discharged me) and i regained it at a neuropsychiatry clinic (ADHD and Autism specialist).
The only thing that broke through was outside help from a municipal caregiver, he prescribed it immediately when she called.
This shit is not incompetence, it is malice. It is on fucking purpose.
I feel like a lot of petty crime (like shoplifting and such), is not directly caused by desparation, but a kind of contempt.
Their community failed to make them feel provided for and included, therefore what they are doing is okay: they are only taking what they are “owed”.
It’s not necessarily that they are evil or even that desperate, but rather that their previous interactions with society gave them a warped sense of justice, in which selfish behaviour and stealing is good (when they do it).
You often see this with turnstile jumpers. It’s not that they cant afford the ticket, they just think it should have been free to begin with. its mostly an act of contempt.
“I have to feed my family” is rarely the actual motivation, especially in developed countries.
If half your income was spent on rent that would be an insane 8,3k a month. and you would still have another 8.3k left.
That left-over amount is more than twice what i earn, and i live fairly comfortably, alone, in the middle of Oslo.
