Yeah I couldn’t really either. I’d have been in dire financial straits if I’d been forced to pay $750 for very long. I’m a single income father of three.
The IRS said Thursday it will make permanent the free electronic tax return filing system that it experimented with this year and is asking all 50 states and the District of Columbia to help taxpayers file their returns through the program in 2025....
Because nobody has ever been led astray by information on the internet. It’s all full of truth and only has good things on it. Certainly couldn’t affect a young mind to persuasion.
$20 says it was shoddy wiring or something similar. So many deaths and accidents happen in India because of a lack of safety standards and training there.
And before someone tries to call me racist, or anti-India, or something, India accounts for 14% of all accidental deaths worldwide and out of every 100k workers in India, 116.8 on average will die in a workplace accident, which is 3X higher than the #2 spot (Pakistan).
I’d argue chain loading coreboot/libreboot from u-boot isn’t really “supporting it” as much as it’s just extending it, but fair enough. In the end it’s still using u-boot with extra steps.

I setup a micro PC with Ubuntu and plugged it into my TV for media streaming, and was just wondering if there was a way to optimize the experience for non KBM
If you want a smart home/devices, only opt for locally controlled, non-cloud, open source, and self hosted options. Home Assistant is great for home automation.
My mini splits used to be controlled by an Alexa dongle with no other choice from the manufacturer. After some research, I discovered that there was an ESPHome module for controlling them with about $8 worth of stuff. It’s more responsive, reliable, will never stop working because some company decided it’s no longer worth their time, and has more elaborate controls than anything the manufacturer provided. And I can control three mini splits for half of the cost of one “cloud dongle” from the manufacturer.
The best way to combat enshittification is voting with your wallet. Support projects by people who produce open source solutions. Donate the money you would have spent on the “turnkey cloud” option to help fund the open source project through donations. Until we stop giving these companies money, they’re not going to stop screwing us.
Who knew pissing off leftist people by being a douchebag when your company sells electric vehicles that are typically championed by said leftists could hurt your sales? So mysterious.
Same…same. I’m a father of three, single income. I put away about $350 a month into a 401k for retirement. It’s not enough, but between housing, fixing things that break, health coverage, etc. it’s the best I can do.
Jose Raul Mulino’s election victory in Panama confirms a shift in Latin America economic policies. Disenchanted with years of state intervention in the economy, voters now hope free markets will improve their lives....
Lol as an American, good luck with that. You’ll probably have some “good times” in early to mid-stage capitalism. Then, you’ll reach late stage and realize it’s all rigged.
I’m over tinkering with my OS. So I’m looking for a distro that “just works” out of the box for my laptop. Also I want to test an “easy” distro I can install for my grandpa....
Unfortunately, many countries have First-Past-The-Post voting systems, so voting for a third party is often, mathematically, basically the same as voting for the competition.
It’s called “The Spoiler Effect”, if you want to look it up, and it’s why we have many of the two party problems we have today in modern democracy. Ranked Choice/Single Transferrable Vote are much better systems.
