I can’t speak for California, but in Ohio we haven’t really come close to Obama or Biden gas prices yet. And we’ve had a ton of inflation since Obama.

The right one! Think about the powerfist punches he could throw with the weight of that neck behind him! Also looks more human.

Yeah. I’m self employed and some of my income comes from a contract with a religious nonprofit. My wife has three jobs and one of them is for a nonprofit. We have complicatons from certain expenses too, even though we don’t itemize we still end up with a number of extra forms to fill out.

We haven’t been in a hurry this year. It’s a pain and our kids are aging out of the tax credits. We usually feed and house four extra humans (three are ours) but only our 16 year old gives us a credit on last year’s taxes. We’re going to get a few hundred back but we just didn’t have urgency to file. We’re pretty much done, I think we’ll submit it tomorrow.

As someone who dies not support Iran, I see nothing wrong with this headline.

Eh, I’m probably leaving here after lemy.lol shuts down. Have fun!

If you’re in public in the US, consent doesn’t matter at all. We need to actively block surveillance, create our own privacy.

That petition is cute, but even if such a law was passed, it would be struck down.

Well you definitely don’t have any right to privacy in public in the US.

Meanwhile that’s about how many came into the US DAILY during Biden’s presidency.

Well obviously. I was calling them out for the reason for the half-measure. They want to signal their values while not abandoning the larger shittier advertising market. I’ve never used Twitter/X because it’s always been an obvious cess pit but organizations can’t resist that place or Reddit, or so it seems.

They’re reducing and not leaving X because there’s fucking nobody on mastodon in comparison. Reach still matters and the fediverse is very hostile to normies

My only concern is that as more large corporations and governments begin to use it, it becomes a much larger target for attacks and malware. There was a point in time where Apple was far more secure than Windows but it was mostly because they had a tiny fraction of the market share and hackers didn’t want to bother with attacking it

It’s getting better, no question. I’m hopeful it will continue to get better.

I don’t really care for Linux at all. I just hate Microsoft.

You should have told your dad what she said so that he could leave her with no guilt. Or if he chose to stay it would show true character.

No it’s just to run a single proprietary software for some old hardware at my job. It won’t even be connected to the Internet. After trying for a couple of hours I had it set up and working on Win 10 in about 20 mins including the windows install.

My job has some old equipment that has proprietary software that I can’t get to run on Linux. It’s literally the only thing I need that tower to run. It’s a 2nd gen i5. It runs Windows 10 acceptablyfrom a small SSD. It won’t even be connected to the internet.

I sometimes do. But I’d point a gun back and say, make the penguin run this software in a way that doesn’t require a power user or take a newbie three fucking weeks.

I use Linux a lot and have about ten PCs running it so far, but I literally just installed Windows 10 on a shitbox that will very rarely be online because it was my best option for the software and respecting my time. I don’t work in IT. I run a small nonprofit and I used to build and upgrade/repair PCs as a side gig.

Europe never stopped being Rome.

Fuck Reddit but this place is far from a bastion of free sharing of ideas. Honestly fuck Lemmy too.
