Holy shit. The LA Times didn't just squash a Kamala Harris endorsement. They buried an entire series of articles about Donald Trump.
"According to internal memos viewed by TheWrap, the series, tentatively called 'The Case Against Trump,' would have ran throughout this week. The endorsement of Kamala Harris would then have been published on Sunday."

My family is a Linux family: both my parents and my wife use Linux, and so will the kids once they have their own computers. Apart from my Dad, they're all non-enthusiasts.
Yet, none of them use a beginner-friendly distribution. My Wife, who's by far the least technologically inclined of them all, is a very happy and satisfied NixOS user. A distribution that's the exact opposite of beginner-friendly.
How is that possible? None of them maintain their systems. I do that for them. In the past two decades, what I learned from helping friends and family with their computers is that the vast majority of non-enthusiasts have absolutely no desire to install and maintain an operating system, or even programs. They're much happier if someone else does that for them.
Therefore, while I see value in distributions aimed at beginner enthusiasts, I see very little value in distributions aimed at non-enthusiasts.
I wrote a few more words about this topic on my blog too.

NEW: Crypto critic @molly0xfff received emails from a purported lawyer and someone working for a “reputation management company” offering bribes in exchange for the takedown of a blog post about the arrest of an alleged crypto fraudster.
The purported lawyer used a blog post made on a website apparently populated with the use of a service that offers "SEO optimized human-like content” using AI, claiming White infringed copyright.
White declined.

Hello everyone, I made an audio recording of The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin for a friend.
I've licensed the audio to the public domain, so if you want to listen to it, or remix it, or use it in a thing, go nuts. (Note: the text itself is under copyright, see replies to this post for licensing contact if you have commercial requirements.)
I'm still working on my voice acting and narration, but I think it came out well. (And if you require this voice, please note that I need money and you can hire me to read things for you.)
You can read the story in text at:

Hello. Thought your friend and anyone else would enjoy a bit of an improvement, it's closer to a studio sound now. A very nice reading, reminds me a bit of Sophie Aldred at times. ENjoy!
The Flac format (as I have added some replicated high frequencies that the mp3 encoder threw away) can be downloaded from MediaFire here

@erion Thank you so much, Sophie Aldred is one of my favourite narrators, so I may unconsciously mimic some of her style.
And thank you for working on the track. if you'd like to put your production chops into further practice, here's a FLAC of my original WAV file (with minimal cleaning and noise reduction - I have an uncleaned version available as well).

You are most welcome, glad I could help.
Sure, I'll do a revised version, no problem. For best results, the original, unprocessed recording (flac or wav) would be fantastic if you don't mind posting it. The one I posted has some noise reduction artifacts that were not easily correctable from the original mp3 unfortunately.
@erion Here's one with no attempt to ameliorate the sound or erase noise. I've left a few seconds of ambient room noise (most egregiously a computer fan) at the end.

Brilliant, thank you very much. I'll post it when it's ready, shouldn't take too long.
No worries, this can be definitely salvaged ☺️
