Just want to reiterate that the IRS get their marching orders from the party in charge which is why they targeted rich people under Biden: The IRS has recovered $1.3 billion from rich American tax dodgers since the fall of 2023 — relieving a painful burden from ‘ordinary citizens’

If thinner, lighter and modern-ness are of interest, I'd say a chrultrabook, but they are more finicky re: swapping out parts. If you are looking for TUI-only, then it can be a sufficient option for a fraction of the price of the competition.

That's how I watch it as well. I think the benefit of the YT clips is that the editors crop in news articles to bolster his claims w/ factual evidence. It's like a built-in fact checker confirmer

I'm a fan and catch YT recaps of topics he covers that I find interesting.
I will say though that he, as a political influencer, is beholden to his target demographic in the same way that Fox News captivates/gets held captive by its more fervent supporters. It's a crude analogy, but my understanding is that the ideals of journalism is to follow the news, while influencers follow the engagement.
It is interesting getting his insights and hearing a knowledgeable person speak on the issues, but it isn't the same as getting news from a true blue journalist imo

OTA antennae for sports.
For streaming, I usually watch it on my laptop so that I can have easier options to skip and replay.
My desktop is connected via HDMI so I have that as an option but I rarely take advantage of it.
I live by myself so I don't have as much pushback as you likely would FYI

I use it. I think it was a hardening recommendation from lynis IIRC.
I definitely experienced a lot more freezing on my laptop after installing it (it's a memory hog) so I upped my swap and things are back to normal.

Probably not for me as I'm not interested in a summarizing tool, but I'm not against AI in general.
OAN, I think over time, the community will see that AI was a bubble, but in the same way that the internet was a bubble back in the day.

Getting cheatsheets via curl cheat.sh/INSERT_COMMAND_HERE
No install necessary, Also, you can quickly search within the cheatsheets via ~
. For example if you copy curl cheat.sh/ls~find
will show all the examples of ls
that use find
. If you remove ~find
, then it shows all examples of ls
.
I have a function in my bash alias for it (also piped into more
for readability):
function cht() { curl cheat.sh/"$1"?style=igor|more }
I follow two already using FreshRSS and I'm looking for more - https://martyoeh.me/blog/ (found out about it today on lemmy) - https://www.dwarmstrong.org/ (Found out about it in the fediverse)
"After much consideration, we have decided to move Platformer off of Substack. Over the next few days, the publication will migrate to a new website powered by the nonprofit, open-source publishing platform Ghost. If you already subscribe to Platformer and wish to continue receiving it, you don’t need to do anything: your account will be ported over to the new platform."
They've started inserting a subtle ad as the first result instead of the actual app you're searching for. This has to have been a change over the last month or two I feel like? I'm having to reprogram myself to view the first result as irrelevant. Really makes me want to increase the F-Droid alternatives that I use.
