This is going to be unpopular, and I will accept the down votes. Also, I will never support Trump or any of his lackies. However, those on this forum believe that she is writing that as “finish them” towards the Palestinians, when in actuality I bet she’s writing that as “finish them” towards hamas. That doesn’t excuse anything. Just stating that they believe they are killing terrorists. They are just ignoring the innocent. Good intentions don’t justify this though let me make that very clear.
dhh is the creator of Ruby on Rails. He has extensively used Mac for decades. A few months ago, as far as I remember, he mentioned something like switching to Windows and WSL.
This may be an unpopular opinnion… Let me get this straight. We get big tech corporations to read the articles of the web and then summarize to me, the user the info I am looking for. Sounds cool, right? Yeah, except that why in the everloving duck would I trust Google, Microsoft, Apple or Meta to give me the correct info,...
I use LLM’s for two things mainly. First to help with small coding things that are tedious or I just need something to bounce ideas off of (hobiest coder) also for asking questions that Google and the like can’t answer. Like “if the unit is measure is toothpicks, how far is it from the earth to the moon” stuff like that. Or ballpark approximations of things.
I like it for the use of art, I like making wallpapers for my phone or logos. I have a side business that I’ll wait a logo for at some point. It makes way more sense to get it close with AI then give to an artist to tweak and give the final touches then all the back and forth and expense needed for a logo company.
The new open ecosystem of extensions on Firefox for Android launched in December with just over 400 extensions. Less than five months later we’ve surpassed 1,000 Firefox for Android extensions.

Yay, spam email servers now have full speed. Spam away! You do realize prioritizing traffic is kind of the network norm right? NN was one of those, let’s fix a problem that doesn’t actually exist. You know that right?!?
I understand the issue that isn’t really there. Most people don’t understand how things actually work. NN hasn’t been the “law” for a long time and there hasn’t been any things folks said was going to happen.
I know Lemmy is the wrong place for this, it’s just another hive mind like reddit. Actual reading is what got me to this point. So maybe it’s you that should do some unbiased reading.
I use Proton. But I continue to run into more and more websites and services that detect my VPN and refuse my connection, or just run literally 40 captchas in a row until I just give up....
This is super simple. In 2022 the US federal government brought in $2.18 Trillion in revenue from federal income tax. Roughly %66 percent of Americans make over $50,000 and the median income of that group of people is around $60,000 a year. If it was made illegal to be compensated by anything other than USD (paid with stocks, etc. and those loopholes). $0-$50,000 is not taxed. If you make over $50,000 you pay a flat %17 income tax period. That would bring in roughly $2.24 Trillion in federal income tax revenue. No loop holes, no deductions, just %17 off the top. Then you can disband the IRS which costs $16 Billion a year to run. Don’t need the IRS if everyone pays the same. That would be totally fair. You make $60,000 a year you pay $10,200 a year, you make $1 Billion a year $170,000,000 a year.
Right now Billionaires don’t have money just lying around to pay taxes with, it’s tied up in owned business, properties, stocks, etc. I know, this is a part of the internet that just wants to eat the rich, I’m not one of them. They are just playing the game. The problem is the government allows them to play the game in such a way that is able to make them a lot more money. The problem is, the rules the government has made allows this to happen. If you drastically simplify the tax code, like to be one paragraph and eliminate the loop holes, it will settle itself out. The only way to do that though is to replace every person in Washington because they are taking advantage of it as well.
