The bar for losing your job as a congress person or any public servant for corruption should be way lower than the bar for being sent to prison.

There's "knowing how" and there's having your mobile constantly within arms reach.

Also, her obvious corruption. Her and her husband make waaaaaaaay above average on the stock market due to her insider knowledge. But I'm sure that never affects her policy positions.

Don't forget his "lawsuit" against Media Matters.

There are very few Linux viruses. With its low market share, it's not a juicy target, or at least not desktop users.

Imperial is definitely worse, but the number of teaspoons or tablespoons to a cup (48 and 16) is useless information. Do you measure out 50 grams one gram at a time? Do you regularly use the fact that a kilometer is 100,000 cm?

The most common way to sense velocity is to have two switches at different levels and calculate the delta to see how fast it moves between them. This does require precision, though.

I'm a pianist, and pianists are often very particular about how musical keyboards feel. There doesn't appear to be a very large DIY community around it. Getting a digital keyboard to feel good has a lot of elements. It seems that it's very expensive to design and manufacture a music keyboard, let alone to do it modularly as the keyboard community has. I would expect it to require a lot of compromises that I wouldn't be willing to deal with except as a hobby project.

Synths, on the other hand, have a HUGE DIY community and that sometimes extends to making keyboards. But for me, it rarely seems worth it to fabricate a keyboard when a MIDI controller with MIDI cables or MIDI over USB can be had as cheaply as $50 or to have a really well done one for under $150.

I'd be more interested in modding an existing keyboard than I would creating my own from scratch.

I found this list of links related to diy instrument and synth making in case you're interested. https://sdiy.info/wiki/Online_resources

This is such a niche topic that you should probably seek out a traditional forum. Also, check out Look Mum No Computer for some inspiration.

Lamarckian evolution mixed with racism, wow. I'm not surprised.

Current user of Niagara here, it's just a unique option. You have favorites on a scrollable list (one app per line) and then you can scroll down an alphabetical list of all apps by letter on the side. Plus the optional subscription is $5 a year, which is actually reasonable in my opinion.

A US state has already subpoenaed Facebook for Messenger texts to prove an abortion case. It's not speculative.

It's very irregular for a country to take back top level domains. Even refusing to renew registrations is unheard of.

ML, tk, etc broke ground by offering free country code TLDs starting 10 years ago. This was possible until Meta sued Freenom this year for issuing domains to the majority of all sources phishing traffic.

Basically, the internet got used to getting TLDs for free, and that was great, except the issuers of said domains (African countries with not a lot of money) have no obligation and no incentive to keep doing that forever. Especially after it became a liability.
