I’ve seen posts about how Democratic politicians have to be “punished” and then they’ll shape up — even one horrifying post basically arguing that we need a couple more years for fascism to fully materialize in order to reform our political system.
My dude…this “people will wake up when it’s bad enough” trope doesn’t work. It’s never worked. It’s been failing spectacularly my whole life — and if one Trump term didn’t do it…what will? And how many people’s lives will be destroyed along the way?
That thinking will kill us all.

«Stoolap - High-performance embedded SQL database in Rust»
Have any of you tried it before and what is your experience with it? Can it be used in the same way as SQLite? I ask because the open source project is relatively new, i.e. are there certain arguments to (not) use it productively?
