Like illegally using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport people when the act literally states it's a wartime authority (no new wars). like illegally deporting Abrego Garcia to the one country that he wasn't allowed to be deported to.

The difference is iOS has non-standard gestures that is determined by the app, and Android it is enforced by the OS. It is infuriating on iOS trying to locate where someone stuffed the back button (is it a hidden pulldown? bottom left? top left? hamburger? breadcrumb trail? does gesture swipe even work here? ...) Much worse than when apps like reddit/tiktok override the back-to-exit behavior in android.

That's not true. Geese Howard's pretzel move is very difficult on its own. Even high level players mess up EWGFs. Complicate all this even further by playing in an arcade with a square gate. And not to mention the extreme moves like pentagram input from arcana hearts 3.

Gesture navigation is the standard in android these days. The OS-provided bar isn't even default on budget oppo or Xiaomi devices.

Everyone here should know it's very easy to bypass any TLS on a device you control and sniff the traffic. if there was some malicious data being sent there's plenty of people to ring the alarm bells: the people reverse engineering the internal API to make bots, the black hats trying to steal user data, the scrapers stealing content,...

I wonder if the recommendation engines are different per country. For example in the US, you usually can't be recommended videos from accounts outside the US. Even with a VPN, spoofed geo location, system language, added video language you will be served only mostly videos based on your IMEI.

I started with Django 1.4 as my first web platform, my first time writing HTML, and my first time writing Python for anything more than text manipulation. I consider myself a fairly experienced programmer, so Python wasn't anything shockingly new. It didn't take me long at all to get my first app running, and even now my app has fair bit of traffic per day.
For myself, I found Two Scoops of Django (https://django.2scoops.org/) a great help. I was really satisfied by that purchase.
To answer the title question, my opinion is jumping right into Django regardless of your experience with Python. I don't see the value behind "don't move into frameworks too early", but I may not be as experienced as the gurus of the internet.
