Vanaf 1 maart kun je weer aangifte inkomstenbelasting doen. Uiteraard proberen we je ook hier zo goed mogelijk bij te helpen. Daarom nu alvast deze vragen aan jou:

Wat vind je het lastigst aan het aangifte doen?
Over welke onderwerpen, aangiftevragen of thema's zou je graag wat meer uitleg of toelichting willen hebben?

We horen het graag van jullie!
(boosten is lief)

@belastingdienst beginnen. wat zijn de consequenties als ik een fout maak? hierdoor doe ik het pas op het laatste moment.

Ok, it's pretty cool getting to see your own retro game running on a console in the living room 🙂 Plays much better on a 12" CRT really, but still...

have family who got fined multiple thousands of pounds for forgetting to register. months of stress later the debt was suddenly forgiven. I guess this is why…

I agree with low emission zones. but the ones in London are so horribly badly implemented, unforgiving, and disproportionate it’s a sick joke.

I hope London/TfL get a mass lawsuit for emotional damages.

'Hoe Nederlanders de slavernij naar New York brachten
Vierhonderd jaar geleden werd Nieuw Nederland gesticht. De rijkste New Yorker, een timmerman uit Bolsward, vergaarde zijn familiekapitaal met slavernij, piraterij, belastingontduiking en grootgrondbezit.'

@vosje62 @DeGroene je kan het ook niet met een Nederlander over New York hebben zonder het "het was eerst New Amsterdam" aan te moeten horen.

just found out our province is contributing millions to a "hyper loop" test centre. wtf! 😩 https://www.rtvnoord.nl/nieuws/1119418/drie-kilometer-lange-hyperloop-bij-meerstad-van-de-baan-komt-mogelijk-bij-veendam

they had to move the test site because of "less stable ground".

but you're going to build an Amsterdam–Paris line sure!

is it called Hardt Hyperloop because you're going to fail hardt? https://www.hardt.global

I wonder if the bias of the iOS weather app towards showing clouds is one of those examples of California-centred design where sunny days are the norm.

I need to know if there’s even a small chance of sunshine in the coming days for my sanity! ☀️

ah a meeting in 3 hours... that leaves me 1h to do work and 2h to panic.

Ja ho, dat klopt dus gewoon niet: "de spreidingswet is een probleem."

Spreidingswet is toch juist een oplossing voor het probleem. De huidige situatie in Ter Apel was het probleem toch ?

hbons,
@hbons@mastodon.social avatar

@janszoon is ook een goede en eerlijke oplossing. maar niet voor de 1/3 PVV-stemmende gemeenten die niemand opvangen en bang zijn voor buitenlanders natuurlijk.

I sat off-screen and listened to a peer's at a major company last week. I didn't even work there, and even with that distance, I am astounded and disgusted at the state of this industry, and the spinelessness of the proceedings.

If you haven't experienced one yet, let me tell you the playbook.

hbons,
@hbons@mastodon.social avatar

@Haste luckily haven't experienced a mass layoff like that but have seen resignations and moves to competitors and those are also treated with extreme pettiness...

@hbons@mastodon.social avatar

saying "I was wrong" in meetings: boring. puts the blame on you.

"I hallucinated": modern. shows you're using the latest tech. it's not your fault you're wrong.

@caillou maybe. but we need to build a new one. having such an important platform centralised so it could fall into the hands of a single person was a huge mistake. we need to rebuild.

also personally I'm fed up with all the racist comments on there when I take peek.

power sockets should always be installed near the floor and not in the middle of the wall.

change my mind.

hbons,
@hbons@mastodon.social avatar

@sfcgeorge it's a good reason. just annoyed at the houses here where the sockets are ~1.20m up, the worst of all places. :)

@mayor @dukope they did need to add that cursor magnification-on-shake feature halfway because people lost their cursor. 😅 so maybe Windows's white cursor is better...
