Be mad that income tax is unnecessarily difficult to deal with. As has been pointed out by others online a lot recently, the US makes personal income taxes hard, where other countries you can fill it out in minutes if you have no deductions, and less than an hour if you do (and have kept good records).

No one likes paying taxes (usually) but since the process is so painless I don’t hear people complaining about income tax that much (outside of the right-wing media in my country, Australia)

This is interesting. Not a lawyer, but I’d encourage anyone in Australia to demand a free repair under Australian Consumer Law because the company bricked the laptop. I’d guess it would fall under the Acceptable Quality consumer guarantee, since the fault was caused directly by the manufacturer.

Not sure how you’d go about proving that, but you could then just take it to your state tribunal, like VCAt in Victoria and file a small claim.

Not a lawyer, not legal advice, but something to think about if you’re in this situation.

Problems caught early are much easier to fix than problems caught later. This applies to any project (I’m not a programmer, but an engineer in the traditional sense).

Just “doing it” without coordination and review is a great way to waste a bunch of effort down the line with re-work.

Edit: typo

An email client that can’t open email files? Hmmmmmm.

Is this something to do with the fact it’s routing all emails via Microsoft servers?

I am not a developer

The Key Word is every month was a record setter. May the gods have mercy on us. We’re so fucked

I’m not saying china doesn’t have problems, but it’s this kind of attitude that sends us down the path of us vs them that I think is toxic and leads to nationalism.

I have no issue with people criticising things in other countries, just not be absolute about it.

There most certainly are many not fake things in China that are great. Friendly people, wonderful food, natural wonders (this and perhaps some others excepted, but still), beautiful villages etc.

Just as there are bad things too, historical and contemporary.

Only a sith deals in absolutes.

“Oh this is whack, the park authority/ Chinese government faking a waterfall? That’s pretty shit.” 👍 An opinion I think many could agree with and is a valid criticism.

“Everything in China is fake” 👎 No it isn’t.

The graphic made me double take this also. I’m like, what new fresh hellish projection are we in for now.

I mean, trump pardoned war criminals. So I do not see why not (IANAL).

Most people would agree yes, they should be pardoned. I’m not against the idea of pardoning completely, just the idea of it being a single person questionable, since it seems a bit risky.

Someone could have a political opponent killed and then just pardon the assassin.

Doesn’t seem like a sensible thing to have around.

How are pardons a thing. Seems incredibly ripe for abuse.

I am dreading the day my company makes me “upgrade” my windows 10 laptop to 11. I really hope they’re paying for legacy support for 10.

I right click, soooooo often when managing files at my job. I’m going to pull out my hair if I can’t change the “see more” behaviour.

Also, I’m a top taskbar user (that’s where programs put their tabs, it just makes sense!)

I don’t know how they could fuck up windows this badly.

This is a problem I’d very much like governments to sink a bit of money into. Sure, we don’t have 100% efficient energy storage, but we certainly have technology that does the job. Liquid air energy storage, fly wheels, thermal sand batteries etc, can be installed anywhere and are available right now. Not to mention pumped hydro if you have suitable terrain.

There’s a lot of stuff that we could build, and honestly, we just need to build it, now, even if it’s not profitable, or super efficient. There’s a bunch of solar and wind around the world not being built, or curtailed because prices go negative when there’s no one to store it.

The free market sucks. We need government intervention to do the things the profit motive won’t.

The only issue is they have not enough storage capacity for the excess.

Something tells me this isn’t going to fly in Australia, unless they’re willing to be giving out refunds for bricked phones.

This is a solved problem, in other areas of the world.

I would avoid 250g, that just means you have to multiply and divide by 4, which is more of a pain than multiples of 10.

In Australia, all food and grocery products (other than fresh produce by unit, like 1 avocado), must be labelled by weight, volume, or other suitable metric (number of toilet paper sheets, for example) by a suitable multiple of 10.

Spices, x$/10g, vegetables x$/kg, other stuff per 100/g. Whatever results in a reasonable $ number.

Even if it’s different it’s hilariously easy to compare.

This can of tomatoes $0.70/100g, is cheaper than $8/kg fresh tomatoes, easy peasy because you just move the decimal.

It really is nice, sorry to rub salt in the wound 😅

This is what will push me over to Linux too, just will be procrastinate a bit because I don’t have lots of time to work out all the kinks

Lol whoops

I realise I have Google account, convenience at the cost of privacy. Just irks me that it’s not opt in because if it were, their system would be less useful, and we can’t give people informed consent can we…

Wait, not only the POTUS can pardon people (to me, already insanity waiting for more abuse), but your state governors TOO?

Jesus Christ.

In most places (in the world other than the US), tax is included in the price. Are you not tired of seeing a price and it not being the price you actually pay?
