... and his past cases need to be reviewed. Is someone serving 10x the usual jail sentence for some infraction because of this judge? Probably.

Did you read the piece? Although they claimed they were chastising him for "hypocrisy", they never pointed out that cross-dressing is, in fact, ok -- and the salacious way they treated it made it clear that the author thought him cross-dressing was scandalous.

The plan on the right was always to come up with a right-wing billionaire tech bro to buy it-- like Musk has done with X-- and turn it into an actual propaganda vehicle. Dems were fooled again.

I wouldn't say "not very popular" ... it's more like there's a non-zero chance that some of his violent, unhinged followers will, upon realizing he's a fraud and they've been duped all this time, turn their violence towards him. It only takes one.

That page will just show you a bunch of stats about your browser. I found info about what the heck this is about at https://github.com/abrahamjuliot/creepjs?tab=readme-ov-file#creepjs

This is great, but I want to see auto-renewal be something you have to opt in to when you sign up for a subscription service. It should never be the automatic default (as it always is everywhere now).

Never heard of "politicsusa.com" before, but now I'm making it a point to never go there.

What I want to see them tackle is automatic renewals for subscriptions. It should be the law that when you sign up for a subscription service, you have to opt in if you want automatic renewal. What every service does is make you sign up for automatic renewal, and then you have to remember to cancel. And even though most sites will extend your subscription to the date you've paid thru so you can go cancel right away, that's never stated clearly on their site.

 

I want to build a linux PC for digial audio and home network storage.

I plan to use a microphone to record acoustic instruments, so being quiet is a priority. Also, my usb audio interface and usb MIDI devices should be plugged in directly, no using a hub, so a lot of usb ports is another requirement. I'm not clear on whether my devices take advantage of usb3 speeds, but I think I'd better make sure I have more usb3 ports to use that speed if it's available.

Besides that I'd like to run a storage server for my home network. I'm not sure if this is a good idea on the same box I want to record on, but usage should be pretty light and I don't want to build a whole other device for this.

I have an older graphics card already, so I don't need that. I'd like to have a slot available in case I decide to get into experimenting with AI, but that's not in my budget for now.

I'd like to keep this under $1K. What parts should I get? It'd be extra helpful to put together a list in Micro Center's PC builder, since that's where I'm tentatively planning to pick up all my parts.

 

Way back in August, I published part 1 of my adventures with ergo mech keyboards, about my Keebio FoldKB. Now I've finally got part 2 done.

As of now, I have two more split ergo keyboards to write about, but I don't know if I'll ever actually catch up ...
