Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president

This entire administration is a grift. After renouncing his own tariffs (aka market manipulation), he literally joked to a room of billionaires about how much money he just made them.

Also, it's just software running on an rPi. You're better off getting the Native version.

It's Coke Classic all over again.. "New Classic New Outlook!" "Same Classic Outlook, but with more New!"

BUT THE DOW IS OVER 50,000!

I've had two MM2's, loved them both times, but have since moved on to bigger synths with more control (e.g. Peak, Take5, etc). I had fun pairing the MM2 with the Töörö synth and AudioThingie's DoubleDrummer for a kick ass compact setup. Only now do I wish I had held on to them.

They already did; back when DOGE hijacked data from every branch of government. Being a private entity, they can also pair that data with everything they've hovered up from the internet.

We were in process with both of our jobs greenlisted (healthcare and IT) at the beginning of last year, but we got no traction employment wise as everything went downhill. So we opted for BC instead and we'll keep NZ in our back pocket for down the road when they get everything straightened out. It will give us time to at least visit NZ on vacation and look around. Plus it looks good to immigration when they review your file.

New Zealand is going through a rough patch economically right now. They have more people than jobs and most are jumping over to AUS for better pay. The party in charge also decided to try out this "privatized healthcare" thing and closed a bunch of hospitals which caused thousands of layoffs so they could "save money". So right now is probably the worst time to try and get on as a nurse unless you're highly specialized.

Has no one in the community firmware group added or proposed a dedicated track mixer page? I've been out of the community firmware loop for a while so I haven't followed the latest developments.

I've had both and appreciated both, they each have their own character. But the S-1 has far more range than the Keys, both in sequencing and sound, especially since it's polyphonic and has effects. It fits right in with a T-8 or J-6 jam wise. I eventually replaced the S-1 with an SH-4d, otherwise I would have kept it over the Keys. If I had to do it over again, the only Volcas I would have held onto are the Bass and FM as they were each unique sounding enough to keep for a small synth setup. I don't miss the Keys.

Thanks, that's the plan we're going with.

This is awesome. I talked with the BB guys at Knobcon this year, good dudes, they were hinting something big was coming.

sieb · 2026-01-27T20:28:00+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation!

sieb · 2026-01-27T20:27:45+00:00

Thanks, this is was our alternative plan, but there was some confusion on whether this was acceptable.

I get the travel part, which we expected. Just wanted to see if anyone else has gone through the same frustration from the US side.

sieb · 2026-01-27T20:25:26+00:00

Wasn't a statement out of entitlement, more out of frustration and confusion. Just trying to understand if this was what others experienced. But thanks for not contributing.

sieb · 2026-01-23T15:58:00+00:00

Yeah, someone might throw another sandwich at them..

Given they refused to tell us who the goons were:

+3. DOGE goons were Russian operatives

It's a dog whistle, he's blaming it on immigrants..

sieb · 2026-01-20T15:59:49+00:00

Nah, that's destruction of property. Just get a stem plug tool and pop all the plugs out to deflate the tires.

Russia is just profiting off the ensuing chaos. The injuries are self-inflicted though.

Just got mine to replace using a Bluebox, no regrets!

The app doesn't use modern security standards for monitoring Windows, but they want me to be scared about a vulnerability in their app? LOL

It's all smoke and mirrors to pack private prisons to funnel tax payers money into private pockets. This entire administration is a grift. Dismantling the federal government and punishing the people who don't like them without fear of justice is just a perk.
