I don't think I'll ever be able to use it, since it doesn't list capital gains as a supported type of income

Unless that's also related to it being a pilot

Imagine a world where US already had this tech and gave it to Ukraine to protect itself.

iopq ,

Making weapons is not evil. Unfortunately, we live in a world where nations start wars. You need to be able to protect yourself and your allies

iopq ,

Defending yourself is not evil. What's happening in Ukraine is evil, because the US did not supply enough arms

iopq ,

Russian army did not, in fact, say they are not doing that. They proceeded to level entire towns. Not once, but every time the order was given.

iopq ,

Not true, Russians are brainwashed to think Ukraine is actually Russia and they have been killing "Russians" and levelling "historically Russian cities" and killing "ethnically Russian population"

If there's a bullshit excuse to destroy a border town they will do it. Like "rebels took it over" or whatever

iopq ,

That didn't get 155mm arty rounds to Ukraine.

No amount of money can bring back people dying to Russian bombs.

iopq ,

Saudi Arabia having drones would have been able to destroy Houthi militants which would have prevented Houthis attacking shipping

Israel has the right to strike back at terrorists

Opera was always hampered by not being IE or Chrome

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers

the migration to Blink was in 2013, it helped at first it seems

iopq ,

Yes, but as a user, there was always a broken webpage somewhere or some API it didn't support.

When they switched to blink, I immediately got Firefox and I couldn't be happier. It's a browser that cares about my privacy, my choice to use an ad blocker, etc.

iopq ,

Or don't buy from manufacturers that do this

iopq ,

Verbally slaying the sinner is a form of kindness. Letting people break user space willy-nilly is not kind

iopq ,

I'm buying framework which explicitly has repair as a goal

iopq ,

You will eventually have to replace it when there are no replacement batteries. Get one that's focused on repairability. Then you can basically keep it forever

iopq ,

Really? On my distro it's

services.xserver.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.enable = true;
#enable KDE
services.xserver.desktopManager.plasma5.enable = true;

And you can just comment out the gnome line

iopq ,

You get to choose whatever in my distro's installer

iopq ,

NixOS

iopq ,

It literally says enable plasma 5, how is that hard to understand?

iopq ,

There are no implications to installing anything in NixOS because you can go back to a previous state at any point.

Running the software might change your settings, but can't really do anything about that since that's the software author's choice and it's in your home folder

iopq ,

I have no swap file and everything works fine until I run out of RAM. You will know when that happens because it's in the error logs

iopq ,

Can't believe they are letting her do it again in 90 years

iopq ,

As a software engineer, I disagree. Software engineers basically make things automated, so it's a job that is created by automation

iopq ,

You realize ChatGPT on the phone would decrease the number of those prompts, right? You can just tell it in words what the issue is

iopq ,

I just tried to call about my credit card application. The thing won't respond to "operator" or "talk to a person". ChatGPT would be able to at least understand I want to ask someone a question

iopq ,

Sure, but I had to call that number because the person at the credit card number said their department does not do that. The number they gave me was fully automated, with no way of getting a person. It just plays a message that says my application is under review.

I wish I had chatGPT so I can, say, ask it to check the spelling of my name or anything else on the application

iopq ,

You used something called disk destroyer, and you just found out why
