Was this created by someone who doesn't understand the concept of a Venn diagram? I thought it was supposed to be one (despite not being complete), but I can't see how the items in any given circle should be grouped with each other any more than any other label in the diagram.

The real headline should be "CPAC audience cheers Bannon's Nazi salute", because they totally did, and it leaves no doubt that CPAC is full of Nazis.

Now I wish I'd sent a DM instead. No need to embarrass you in public, oops. Oh well, next correction I'll be more discreet.

Who's: a contraction for "who is".

Whose: belonging to whom.

I know they're unbelievably dense, and they're getting their bizzaro worldview reinforced by Fox News every day, but at some point it will be obvious to a critical number of them that they've been had; used and tricked and made fools of.

The whole mind control apparatus that was supposed to keep them in line was keeping their anger on a hair-trigger to short-circuit their critical reasoning faculties and make them atrophy. It worked for a long time, but the consequence is that, once it becomes obvious (even to them) that they've been duped, their carefully groomed anger will overflow ... and they've got an insane number of assault weapons.

This cartoon reminds me of this song

Something about https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1 , or at least that's the model that everyone's been talking about recently. It looks like it'd be half a terabyte to clone the entire repo though, and I don't know how to use it either ...

According to the article, Walz said on MSNBC

“We spent three days debating, or trying to debate that ‘President Musk’ gave a Nazi salute. Of course he did”

Then one of Musk's Xitter followers said “I hope Elon sues [Walz] for all he’s worth.” to which Musk replied "I think I will".

So, Musk was just talking out his ass, and it's doubtful he'll actually file suit.

This has all got me thinking, how else can Musk be manipulated? Exacerbating cat fights in the administration and surrounding MAGAsphere seems like one of the most promising ways to prevent them from doing too much damage.

If it were just another black dude who got shot "because he had a gun", I'd doubt the word of the police about that. But this guy? I'm almost certain he had a gun and made some move that would have raised reasonable suspicion that he was intending to use it. Because those are the sorts of people who when to Jan 6.

Something like if (stupid_bool & 0x01) should work for those.

Realizing this investigation has been quietly going on for 4 years now makes me think of all the other ongoing investigations that the incoming Trump administration will kill, so they can focus on fabricating reasons to pursue their political enemies.

I would really like to thank the Arch community for maintaining such a wonderful wiki; it's great that your nuts-and-bolts approach naturally generates the best documentation. That said, Debian will always be my distro of choice.

 

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 ...

 

This is the story of my involvement with ergo-mech keyboards, describing how I set up my first split ergo, the Keebio FoldKB.

Hopefully this will be the first of a series.
