Either way, IRS ensures people pay their taxes. Only people who benefit from less IRS agents are those making enough to owe taxes (the wealthy).

If you just want lower taxes, then that would be an issue for congress. Fewer IRS resources just mean the rich get to steal more.

It already exists, but the sands of time Metroidvania “Lost Crowns” was surprisingly good.

Appreciate the feedback!

I’ve tried the AIO container. The issue I’ve had is that I already have a file system for documents and try to attach it as a network drive, it’s at this point everything falls apart (not to mention just generally slow performance).

Sorry I can’t really help, but can commiserate. Nextcloud is the one service I’ve never gotten to run right. Not sure if its gotten any better but a year or two ago I was trying and just wasn’t getting consistent results from it.

Don’t disagree just sharing context and info.

I never agreed with him, but he’s at least an American. Maybe not the same ideals, but it’s clear he has some standards.

Always thought John McCain would be the last person I said that about.

They’re actually playing a reverse card here and it’s sorta brilliant and stupid at the same time. A lot of these lawsuits are claiming the DEI policies are illegal because they are promoting certain groups over others.

There are a number of cases popping up like this and it’s probably an attempt to get it in front of the Supreme Court to kill protected classes or something - https://www.yahoo.com/news/missouri-sues-starbucks-over-dei-231002340.html

People dying at the start of a zombie apocalypse is standard fair at this point. Finding someone in a post apocalyptic world based only on their name years later in a world where everyone is just barely surviving was a bit ridiculous.

It felt a bit like the inverse of Game of Thrones (where it felt like anyone could die), the second part decided this person must die.

I just couldn’t get into part 2 and dropped it after the Joel scene. It just felt so over the top in trying to be depressing and I didn’t feel like slogging through a game that would twist the narrative just for the shock value.

Part one had moments of “everything that can go wrong will go wrong”, but part 2 felt like it jumped the shark (which felt more validated after reading the synopsis online).

You want them to do that regardless of the how the country keeps track of individuals. The point of all that asking is to make sure they have the right patient for the right procedure.

You don’t want to have something amputated or removed unless you have to.

I think the core takeaway is your shouldn’t outsource core capabilities. If the code is that critical to your bottomline, pay for quality (which usually means no contractors - local or not).

If you outsource to other developers or AI it means most likely they will care less and/or someone else can just as easily come along and do it too.

Maybe below what investors or OpenAI thinks, but I think I’d take it. Unless they’ve got more secrets up their sleeve I don’t seem them ever being worth that much.

You’re absolutely right a out data formatting being an issue and something that really does cause vendor lockin.

I would just think content creators would still want archive/backup of the final products (the video itself). For example could you imagine if a movie just disappeared because Adobe or someone shutdown.

I’m not sure what the OC is talking about, a number of these are classics (or at least known for one reason or another - Pluto Nash).

Generally what they’re calling out is that DeepSeek currently rambles more. With LLMs the challenge is how to get the right answer most sussinctly because each extra word is a lot of time/money.

That being said, I suspect that really it’s all roughly the same. We’ve been seeing this back and forth with LLMs for a while and DeepSeek, while using a different approach, doesn’t really break the mold.

I think most of the tools have a way to download content, the issue is no one does or has a system for their backups. Which is the risk with the cloud, you’re putting all your eggs in someone elses basket.

This was actually something I found interesting with the brief TikTok shutdown in the US. A lot of creators only had their content in the editing software owned by TikTok or the app itself, meaning they lost access to all of their content.

The biggest risk of cloud only setups is you don’t own it.

I commented further up, but will add here. I also have a Go 1 and Ubuntu worked okay. Webcam was definitely a no go, but it ran well enough for some productivity and light gaming.

Only thing I really hate is hibernate doesn’t really work on Linux. For a tablet, maybe you always keep yours on, but I liked hibernate to help keep the battery going longer.

Commenting to add here, this is not going to be about distro choice as much as seeing what configuration on the Linux-surface guide provides greatest support.

There are many things that may not work on your surface due to support, so definitely follow those guides.

Spent hours trying to get the Webcam to work on Surface Go 1.
