I think the entire point is to smokescreen and deligitimize Trump's legal situation by trying to show people "look, we're doing the same thing they are doing to us!" Doesn't matter if it's completely different, or if it even goes anywhere legally. A lot of people will either not take the time to follow both cases or they'll be disenfranchised enough to tune out altogether, which is exactly what they're hoping for.

AKA a republican. I'd be surprised if he were anything else.

About 20 years ago I was so outraged by Bonsai Kitten that I asked a friend's mom to help me write letters to ISPs and law enforcement to try to get it taken down.

It was a site with pictures of cats in glass jars, but it had very graphic details about how they supposedly kept cats alive in jars and grew them into weird shapes... I still think it's pretty tasteless, but it was clearly someone's idea of satire. It felt like a big deal back then, but these days it would be nothing more than a bad meme.

It's been a terrible launch and there are still major issues that need fixing. Too little content, bad progression system, bad matchmaking system, mostly boring skill tree for loud... But I'm still having a lot of fun with it despite all of that. I wanted more out of a finished game, but at least most of the heists that it shipped with are interesting and fun. 99 Boxes can go to hell.

I think the problem that notification LEDs were designed to solve is just solved in other ways now, notably smart watches or the Always-On Display for OLED devices. Both consume more power than a notification LED would, but they also don't require a dedicated physical space on the phone.

I occasionally see those types of ads in subs downloaded through the Plex UI, but usually it's in an intro or at the end. Haven't seen them in the middle of a dialogue yet.

Didn't he literally have Twitter employees sleeping in the office post-acquisition and even go so far as remodeling vacated offices as makeshift hotel rooms? I doubt he's kidding here, seems on-brand.

The candidate who delivered Trump his first term, still doubling down on her "deplorables" strategy 7 years later.

Porkbun, mostly for the cost, transparency, clean UI, and ease of use.

I've used GoDaddy, namecheap, and Google Domains in the past. GoDaddy is the only one I had a problem with, but Google sold to Squarespace recently, and I prefer porkbun to namecheap for the reasons listed above.

I mean... Hopefully it doesn't go on so long that anyone loses their home over it, but not being able to pay your mortgage or access your money is a pretty big deal.

I love Gunship and had no idea this was coming out. Can't wait to listen!

Not familiar with the extension you mentioned, but you can refer to the screenshots in this article to see how you'd access the new translation feature.

Note that it's based on Bergamot, which is the same engine used by the TranslateLocally extension. I'd expect these two to produce comparable translations, but I have no idea how they compare to TWP. You'd have to try it and find out.

A DeSantis is a DeSantis, some just hurt more on the way out.

Not saying you're wrong, but I never had to create an account on my TCL TV running the Roku TV software. You can even choose an input to start up to, so I never even see the home screen ads.

Wouldn't surprise me if it varies by model, but I've had no issues just having mine start up to a Fire Stick connected to my home Plex server (though Fire Stick comes with its own problems).

My understanding is they’re a Bluetooth device that do not have direct Internet access on their own; how is their location being updated if you’re not pairing with them to allow them access to your device?

Apple allows them to connect to any device in the "Find My" network and phone home, regardless of who it belongs to. Presumably that includes you driving next to someone with an iPhone if the tag is in your car. It's supposed to also alert you f it's determined to be travelling with you and the owner is not nearby, but I think that requires you to also have an Apple device, or install and actively use Apple's Tracker Detect app for Android.
