Given the majority of the supreme court are constitutional literalists, I'm going to stake a claim on very unlikely. That is literally against the first amendment.

Now, let's say we live in some kind of bizaro land where you can be taken to court without the protection of the first amendment. (Difficult ti believe I know). You would still, hopefully, have a right to an attorney. If your case is high profile, or you have enough money, an organization like the aclu would help.

I think his legacy is all he cares about, but endorsing education and free exchange of ideas certainly isn't part of it.

I went to Texas A&M where H W's library is. It's a... nice building with.. uh... museum about him.

Story about H dubs though. I met him. It was at a BBQ joint on the side of the road halfway between College Station and Houston. The town probably has less than 2000 people living in it.

I was meeting my dad for lunch. There were a bunch of suits in sunglasses and earpieces standing in a dirt parking lot full of trucks with rust holes in them.

We walk in and there are H W and Barbara eating brisket.

 

Considering he's never set foot in one and his constituency is illiterate

Unrelated, but I hate when people use percentages like that. You are welcome for my unsolicited opinion

Why not just remove it entirely? 9 is oddly specific

Do a web search for 'color pallet' and pick one that looks good with your black replacing the darkest color

 

Our university is hosting an AI summit with a student panel, a faculty panel, and attendee participation segments. It would be great to get panel questions, but we really need multiple choice, strongly agree/disagree, and yes/no style clicker questions for the attendees. Remembering they are primarily non-technical, with a wide range of exposure to the topic, what would you ask the crowd?

 

How do you "Do as as I say, not as I do"?

A friend of mine has a daughter who is too young for a smart phone, but he still wants her to be able to listen to music on the go. I found the following devices using spotify. Have you used any of these or do you have any alternative suggestions?

When I get fast food, I don't eat the fries until I get home.

 

As an American, the US participation in the Ukrainian conflict as well as the Palestinian genocide are beyond reproach. Many describe them as proxy wars, but I'm not there yet.

During the Cold War, there was the Afghanistan, Vietnam, South America, Cuba, etc. These were proxy wars because there was a clear adversary on the other side. The Soviet Union.

Now, who is that? Russia? China? Who is "our enemy"? I see it was war is good for business and projection of power.

Am I wrong?

 

Obviously, a bit of clickbait. Sorry.

I just got to work and plugged my surface pro into my external monitor. It didn't switch inputs immediately, and I thought "Linux would have done that". But would it?

I find myself far more patient using Linux and De-googled Android than I do with windows or anything else. After all, Linux is mine. I care for it. Grow it like a garden.

And that's a good thing; I get less frustrated with my tech, and I have something that is important to me outside its technical utility. Unlike windows, which I'm perpetually pissed at. (Very often with good reason)

But that aside, do we give Linux too much benefit of the doubt relative to the "things that just work". Often they do "just work", and well, with a broad feature set by default.

Most of us are willing to forgo that for the privacy and shear customizability of Linux, but do we assume too much of the tech we use and the tech we don't?

Thoughts?
