A pardon can’t even be considered until 5 years after any criminal sentence is completed. The talk of changing the Georgia Constitution to allow the governor to pardon Trump would required Democratic support and is not going to happen.

Grand jury identities are public information in Georgia.

After trying dozens of distros the enjoyment of the new faded and I just wanted something that installed with the minimum amount of fuss and was stable as a rock. The distro that has best fit that combination of attributes (at least on my machines) has been Linux Mint.

Yep. I was on Reddit for more than 10 years and provided content regularly. Paying $5 or so a month to access the site using Sync would have been OK, but there’s no way I’m going to use their crappy app and be inundated by ads while they suck up data from my phone.

IMO Reddit has lost a big stream of easy income from people like me who would have been long-term subscribers. Instead the BS they’ve pulled in the last couple of months have pushed me to delete all my posts and comments and leave the site completely.

Same experience on Reddit. Any comment saying “I’m having this problem” would usually get hostile responses. A post about a laptop hinge on my machine that failed in an absurdly short amount of time had people saying, “You don’t know how to open your laptop.” The worst IME were the cell carrier and manufacturer subs. People on those were consistently just vicious.

Yeah the answer on Reddit is always “why not just buy the more expensive option,"…

In one thread I pointed out that some car fees being proposed in California were highly regressive and would make life much more difficult for those who could least afford it. One guy said that wasn’t a big problem because they could just buy a new car. 😱

Not every state is sitting on their hands. California (at least) is doing something about it.

In Sept. 2021 Newsom signed California legislation with $1.75 billion in funding for additional housing. Besides the cash infusion it tries to make it easier to deal with NIMBY zoning issues. That’s obviously not enough and there’s more legislation in the works with lots of different proposals to increase available housing.
