You listed python.

If you are open to Python, I would recommend: https://textual.textualize.io/

Edit: for clarity, the above is if you want nice TUIs (text gui in terminal). If you want actual windowed applications not in terminal, in regards to Python, I would just say use tkinter.

Here’s a list of projects known to use Textual: https://github.com/Textualize/transcendent-textual

There are a lot of cool projects I would suggest browsing to see what it can do, but the following pages have screenshots that do a good job of showing what it’s capable of:

https://github.com/ChrisBuilds/moneyterm

https://github.com/bluematt/textual-musicplayer

https://github.com/eliasdorneles/usolitaire (I’d love to see someone do minesweeper for terminal)

Extra: while meant for terminal usage, you can use the mouse to interact, can run programs from ssh sessions, and I believe they’ve added the ability to take your TUI into web browsers.

…. Oh, also not restricted to Linux. It does generally work with Mac and windows (would recommend using windows terminal from windows store, it makes things look right, whereas command prompt does not display correctly.

Yeah, I don’t know what his family is doing. He should be under a conservatorship. He is in Florida, if one of his family members doesn’t do it, maybe a Florida judge should designate Ron DeSantis or one of his cronies as Trump’s conservator /s

Seriously, conservatorship is a major problem in Florida: https://cbs12.com/news/cbs12-news-i-team/florida-lawyer-guardianship-brian-oconnell-catholic-charities-palm-beach-county-center-for-estate-administration-reform-11-3-2023. It’s basically the thing Brittany Spears was in.

Anyone can make a complaint and ruin a life in Florida I believe. It won’t happen to Trump, because the attorneys and judges would be too scared to take Trump on, but in theory they could do it.

For those that don’t want to click YouTube: It’s just Trump’s classic rant:

“I’m going to open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money. We’re going to open up those libel laws. So when The New York Times writes a hit piece which is a total disgrace or when The Washington Post, which is there for other reasons, writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money instead of having no chance of winning because they’re totally protected”

Just show up for the Sept 10th debate you already agreed to. ABC, don’t cave to any of his weird demands/temper tantrum; just do the debate as agreed, and if he doesn’t show, that’s fine too.

People aren’t going to want to watch three debates of your dumb ass in a single month. One debate is sufficient in September. If you both agree on it, one in October to keep it fresh in people’s minds are also fine, though not necessary. Everyone knows Trump already, this is really just a chance for undecideds, or wall sitters to get to know Harris.

All I want to know is:

1. Can I watch Twitch streams on it?
2. Does it have a built in browser, I can watch videos from non-app services on?

I’ve been using roku for what feels like 15 to 20 years. I’m finally ready to buy an Apple TV just to be able to watch Twitch on it. If Google TV Streamer either has an official Twitch app, or can install normal android apps, like the Twitch app from the play store, and has a web browser that can play videos from standard websites, I am sold.

If someone has, or buys a streamer, please let me know with a reply.

knowing anything about women’s health because it’s “yucky”

Can we just rename Tampons for them, to “Jesus Sticks”, and when they have to have an uncomfortable conversation, they can just pull one out and say “You need Jesus”? Or when asking someone for one, someone can proudly proclaim “I need Jesus” to their friends.

I’ve gotten the seriousness out in other comments; I just had the thought, and had to share it somehow, somewhere.

They’ve done a good job making menstruation ‘yucky’; the majority of women I know have at some point apologized to me after periods come up in group or private conversations. It’s just a period, nothing to be ashamed of.

I’ve seen the news story since, but my first thought when I heard about it yesterday from someone was ‘what is with conservatives weird obsession with little girls’.

Now I know they are freaking out about the law being for all bathrooms, not just girls bathrooms. Trans panic aside, I can easily see a girl telling her boyfriend “the bathroom is out of tampons/pads, can you get me one from the boys bathroom?”.

For others, I set up uBlock at minimum.

For myself uBlock + uMatrix.

If on a computer need more security uBlock + uMatrix + NoScript.

uBlock and uMatrix can block scripts, but I find NoScript’s fine grain control to be user friendly. Makes it a pain to browse the web though, until you setup each of your normal sites.

Glad to hear it. I wasn’t super particular, but I wanted someone with a military background as her VP.

Carter told his son Chip this week, “I’m only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris.”

And I don’t think he normally gets involved in politics. That he said he’s trying to make it to to vote for Harris as a target, not make it to his 100th birthday which comes a month earlier, I think goes to show how important he considers every vote to defeat Trump. I can’t imagine making voting for a specific politician in an election as my goal to live to do.

Can’t say I’ve ever been any good at it, but I do love me a good tower defense.

Haven’t played since OMD2, and could never get anyone else to play, but love the series. Glad to see it continuing.

Also, she is the VP of the incumbent administration. Any complaints people have about Biden, other than his personal age, also can be applied to her. Economy? Immigration? Isreal/Gaza? All Harris’ administration. Doesn’t matter that she has little input or control of any of those, she is the VP, Trump and Conservatives will blame her all the way until election day, and Fox/Conservative media will be there to parrot and distribute the word.

I believe modern presidential campaigns focus their war chest into swing states, and typically less into stronghold states; they typically would have already done that in the primary against people of the same party. My concern is more around if they don’t have the name recognition, and didn’t have the primary to build that, they may have to spread their funds more than Trump would at this point in time.

Then again, I’m sure Fox would spread such name with vitriol, so people would at least hear about the candidate. Them negging on Harris already at the RNC is only increasing the chance of them having a more viable opponent, but they can’t help themselves when the crowd eats it up.

But I may be being too critical. For the typically non-conservative, maybe just having a Dem on the ticket that isn’t Biden, is young, and they know nothing about, may be a good thing. If they haven’t commented on Isreal/Gaza (or foreign politics at all really), and are a state level actor like a Governor (and thus has little influence on national economics), maybe there won’t be much for swing voters/independents, or progressives to have a grievance about. Will really depend on who it is.

I’ve been against Biden stepping down, it’s just so late in the process, and a heavy push for Kamala Harris to take his place in the media soured that; I have nothing against her personally, but she is the ‘establishment’ currently, as the VP of the current administration, and I don’t feel she is particularly strong against Trump, other than a “I’d vote for anyone with a D next to their name over Trump” kind of way. That said, the hit to Biden’s elect-ability between the debate, media coverage, and high name recognition members of his own party requesting him step down, has been large, and has damaged his ability to win.

A large part of the reason I feel he could successfully step down at this point, is if a good candidate is already in place to step up. The Dem and anti-Trump base will have no problem switching their vote. It’s having someone to appeal to the people that could be persuaded either way, or may not even vote.

Personally, that would be Gavin Newsom from my perspective; he is well known, has been going head to head with Florida’s DeSantis already, has been in the media in a way that already seems like he is gunning for the presidency, and was Biden’s media spin room representative at the debate; but he has his drawbacks as well.

I’ve seen Whitmer floated, and I don’t think she’s an awful choice, but also feel she is needed in the roll she is currently in, and is doing an awesome job there.

Josh Shapiro… I know nothing about, may be a fine candidate, but my mind immediately turns to Turning Point USA’s Ben Shapiro, and it is probably an unfortunate name recognition issue to the average person. Have to keep in mind, this is elevating mostly people with state level recognition to a national stage of people unfamiliar with them (in that way, maybe a swing state Dem would be a good pick).

The other people I’ve seen floated, I have no opposition to, but the main issue is, are the funds there to run an effective campaign to elevate someone who hasn’t been running on the national stage, in only a few months time. 3+ months is plenty of time for an election in a state, or your average European sized country, I feel; but the US is massive, with a lot of states the size of a European country. It may be fine for the majority of people, but I worry about penetration into the swing states, particularly those that don’t generally pay attention to elections, or the media.

Obviously stay away from anyone that is retirement age though, as the push to out Biden is specifically about his age, and perceived age related mental health, and have a preference to keep them under 70 by the end of 8 years in office, so they can do a double term without perceived age issues, so about 35 - 62.

If it’s going to happen, Biden needs to step down in the next few days, and immediately come up with another viable candidate; Otherwise dems will need to stay the course with Biden.

Dean Phillips is the most known candidate to have run against him. Everyone else stepped aside to the the incumbent run, either because he was the incumbent, or they didn’t want the political backlash of running against the incumbent.

That is a special kind of speed run. I’m impressed 30% of Greeks still have a favorable view of Russia last year… I can’t imagine it is still that high. I really want to know the 2024 numbers, but only barely only half way through the year; still, I’d love to know current sentiment of not just Greece’s population, but worldwide, country by country, and how it’s progressed in the past decade (conveniently a decade since the Crimean invasion).

I’m not really worried about Biden’s age, only about his ability to win.

I am voting AGAINST Trump and his administration. Trump is not fit for office for a number of reasons.

Biden returned us to a level of normalcy in the executive branch; he’s performed his duties better than I actually expected, despite the GOP controlling the house and doing almost nothing legislatively for the 2nd half of his term. If Biden kicks the bucket after getting elected, that is fine; his administration will be in place, the VP will take over to serve out the remainder of his term, and in four years we will have a chance at someone else. Biden will have served his country well in that.

Fact of the matter is, Biden isn’t going to step down, stop buggering out about his age. Six months ago to a year ago, his mental fitness was fine. Now he is finally starting to show his age in that regard, but he still cares about this country, and holds American democracy as a truth in his heart. If I hear one more old person in their 70’s (Schumer) and 80’s (Pelosi) call for Biden to step down, I will expect for people to also call for those old farts to step down, before they get Feinsteined.

For anyone that is voting against Trump, it is simple: If Biden doesn’t step down, vote for Biden. If Biden steps down, you vote for whoever steps up in his place.

If someone is actually fine with Trump winning, then this message isn’t for you.

Incumbent President almost always runs unopposed. That being said, he ran as the adult in the room to get us back from the right, and was NOT expected to run for reelection.

True enough, but I also don’t think during the 2020 election, anybody thought that if Trump lost, at practically 80 years old, he would be the R candidate in the 2024 election as well.

I honestly wish the right wasn’t so regressive, crazy, and having such a hold on half the country. I’d love to vote for someone else for president, but the risk of the right winning is just too damaging.

I wouldn’t say Trump won the debate, or that it strengthened his position.

More the debate weakened Biden’s position strictly in regards to people’s view on his age and health.

Trump still said some pretty awful things. He lied plenty, but some of those awful things he took credit for, and if Biden was on his game that night, he would have in the past at least, demolished Trump. Problem being he missed those openings, and sometimes changed topics mid sentence from a strong point, to topics that people see as Biden’s weak points. (like abortion -> immigration)

Biden’s biggest enemy at this debate were unforced errors. Based on his performance at his rally the following day, and during past state of the unions when MTG and others are heckling him, he was clearly off his game, and I can only wonder what the debate would have been like if it was in the morning/afternoon instead of of late at night (or some other condition that got him back on his game).

It’s great his performance improved so much the next day, but that won’t be seen by many people. The debate was seen by millions, including many that normally wouldn’t be reached. This was his opportunity, and he sort of blew it. Reaching those people in another form with the modern media environment and media consumption will be difficult.

If Biden continues to run, those who consider abortion, democracy/avoiding fascism, or freedom a top issue, will still vote for him. I will still vote for him.

If he steps down, and Gavin Newsom steps in as the democratic candidate, I’ll vote for him. (granted he isn’t part of the Primary, and there are pledged delegates for others, but those people have either already dropped out, or would get crushed by Trump).
