  • The fact that you have to pay a service to pay taxes in the US is insane.

    Here in japan if you work full-time or part-time your company files for you and you just fill in 5-10 fields of some sheet and then you’re golden. The company is required to help you.

    If you file your own taxes you go to the official tax website, follow their web form to input data, and then it generates a PDF. You then either use your mynumber to send the data and pay taxes online, or you go to the tax office (for about 30 minutes) and submit/pay there. It then let’s you save your data in a file so you can finish your taxes in 5 minutes every year from then on.

    If you don’t have internet or a computer, you go to the tax office and go to their support desk that help you file on paper.

    You don’t have to care.

    No matter what you do, someone will think poorly of your actions. You can’t please everyone.

    Prioritise the things you personally care strongly about and leave the rest to the people who care strongly about those things. If that makes you a bad person, then maybe embrace that you’re not perfect, and neither is whoever criticizes you for it.















  • I meant the thumbnail appeared after he pressed “post”, not that the article was edited. I say likely because as a software engineer I know how thumbnails generally are loaded on sites like these. They’re not part of the “post” data, and appear a short while afterwards as the site fetches metadata from the linked site and creates the thumbnail in the background so it doesn’t force the user to wait.

    I would say maybe snopes can’t tell the difference between posting an image vs posting an article and have an automatic system generate the image, but what actually is going to happen is the maga people are going to say “see, I knew the fact checkers were biased. They intentionally make bad faith articles like these”



  • Requiring you to register with a real phone number, bothering you with logging in globally, linking your minecraft account to your entire windows PC (thank God for Linux), and introducing special features in a microtransaction-riddled version of the game is just the early middle stage of enshittification. Next comes removal of old features as more players switch to bedrock to enjoy the new special features.

    The Java edition is in the middle of being phased out. They’ve only kept it for this long because bedrock is inferior and unplayable on most devices. It may look like Microsoft kept it out of kindness, but I assure you it will be gone soon.
