Fucking BANGER of an opener in @pluralistic 's latest newsletter:
The Secret IRS Files revealed the fact that many of America's oligarchs pay no tax at all. Some of them even get subsidies intended for poor families, like Jeff Bezos, whose tax affairs are so scammy that he was able to claim to be among the working poor and receive a federal Child Tax Credit, a $4,000 gift from the American public to one of the richest men who ever lived

The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax
ProPublica has obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing.ProPublica
I've heard people wonder "as a developer, will AI kill my job?"
I think there is a definitely non-zero chance that it might...
But not because an LLM is going to write all the code, better, faster and cheaper, no. Because, when this bubble finally pops and tech companies are left with nothing but piles of out-dated GPUs and plummeting stock prices, they'll "fix" the problem the only way they know: by firing 30% of their workforce!

Maximize Your Day: Focus Your Inbox with 'Grouped by Sort' - The Thunderbird Blog
If your inbox is overflowing with unread and unprocessed messages, Thunderbird's 'Grouped by Sort' feature can help you tame it.Monica Ayhens-Madon (The Thunderbird Blog)
Ooo, that would be a neat feature request! I can see how that would be helpful in sorting out a really out-of-control inbox, like my 20-year-old gmail account. XD
Aw, that's fantastic! Thanks for the shout-out love!
...and thanks to everyone for making #Thunderbird such a fantastic tool! ❤

Víc mě trápí netflix. Má mou IP zařazenou jako německou a tak střídavě hází obsah pro CZ a DE podle toho přes kterou IP přistoupí. A často najdu obsah, přehrávám a když se k tomu vrátím později, není pro můj region dostupný. Prostě furt lítám mezi DE a CZ.
Nepomohlo vyházet na dns resolveru ipv6 záznamy pro netflix servery. Asi jsem nepochytal všechny domény.
I still remember just a few years back when the sentence "without Adobe Acrobat there's nothing you can do" was the norm.
Is it also possible to edit PDF pages like adding, removing or sorting slides?
This is the PDF feature I miss the most, since I moved alway from MacOS.

Is there a good portable asynchronous filesystem access crate for Rust yet? (I'm aware of a number of crates that use blocking filesystem operations from threads, and that's not at all what I mean. I want to issue large numbers of requests from few threads so the I/O scheduler can sort them out.)

I've been using @Tutanota for a few years now and have been very happy with how they've grown. #Encryption for the common person in a simple no-nonsense platform is cool to see. Would love to see them continue to innovate with #privacy in mind like they have so far.
Linux OOM management lately has been... sorry I lack nice words to describe it truth-fully.
I think "Windows like" is kinda close, while still vague.
@cJ the Government should send it pre-filled forms with whatever the fuck they got from the various reports (employer, financial instituation)
I should NOT have to copy my T4 and R1 into a form when they already have that info.
And then log into their system and adjust it.
Like many European countries do.

I pretty much don't have any interest in the Steam Deck (besides of size) for the fact that the APU in there is starting to really show it’s age. Now there are more competition in the handheld with more powerful APUs at the expense of using a little bit more power.
The Radeon 890m really makes the Deck look more out of date as it has performance close to a Radeon 470/570 or a GTX 1060. Not to mention, we are seeing more games that are unplayable on the Deck or won't play well, and the lack of USB 4 support to use an eGPU doesn't help. After all, this is a computer
in a console form factor, and PC games are rarely optimized well.
That said, I would like to see an SoC using ARM with Radeon graphics, it would improve battery life, but x86-64 emulation on ARM64 is another story, but it’s possible given what Asahi Linux can do playing games from Steam using Proton.
