I’m confused. Did the ‘Rona get him? Or are you referring to a lawsuit?

He lost the lawsuit, but he hasn't posted anything on his site or twitter since early 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox_(writer)

Obviously wikipedia.org. Nothing better has been invented in 20-some years. I honestly feel relief when I research some topic and it has Wikipedia page on it, so I don't need to dig through some sh**y blogposts Edit: I mean: it's one of the very few websites that actually provides sources of information. It's insane it's that rare these days. And most important facts are just placed in visible and easy to spot place,…

Wikipedia is one of the greatest projects in the history of mankind. Very little compares to it in scale and value.

I'm bias of course but it's a goal of mine to have the best "misc" website one day... It can do a lot. https://dustinbrett.com/

That's impressive. Works and looks great.

I also applaud their user-respecting design choices. E.g. if your browser sets the DNT (do not track) header, they won't show a cookie consent banner and just assume you selected "reject all"

My sites don’t present a cookie banner to anyone, and don’t check for the DNT header. We simply don’t spy on our users. Any cookies we set are session and other “essential” cookies.
