SmartTube for Android TV is a must as well
I’ve had YouTube Premium since the days when it was called YouTube Red, so like a decade. I’ve grown used to not seeing any ads from Google and anytime I watch a video not using my account it’s torture.
A lot of creators have just turned into corporate shills. I stopped watching ETA Prime’s channel about tech reviews because it was becoming pretty clear that mostly everything he got was paid for by the company. Also, most creators are putting their own ads into their content.
So it’s not as bad as it seems, at least.
Agreed, people always forget that Google is a company or to make money, they don’t provide all of these services out of the kindness of their hearts.
The reason for this is because switching from Windows to Linux is a lot bigger change, requiring a fair amount of technical know-how, and even knowing that Linux exists in the first place. Swapping browsers is easy in the technical sense, it’s breaking the habit that’s the hard part, but if they piss people off enough all it takes is uninstalling it in order to break the habit, not a drastic paradigm shift. I’m a long time Chrome user, like over a decade and with the recent “unverified download” nonsense unless you enable their invasive tracking has put me over the edge. I had both the Chrome and Firefox icons pinned to the taskbar and just out of habit kept clicking it, I finally removed it last week
Also, there’s like 10 per webpage, and then you have the damn pop-ups when you scroll 🤬
Every time I turn off uBlock and reload a webpage I’m like “JFC this is eye cancer”.
I was just talking with a friend who is a software dev (I’m a Linux Engineer so I do software as part of my job, just not my main focus) and we were just commiserating on how 75-80% of the world doesn’t understand that “AI” is just regurgitating information it has collected and it’s not like Jarvis or Skynet and thinks for itself.
I agree that the term “sexual abuse” is definitely misleading, I think “sexual exploitation” is better. I agree with you it’s no different than face swapping, but the difference is that it’s a lot easier for the general public to do it now than it was 5 or 10 years ago. It’s also pretty fucked that a fake image of you could potentially put you in “hot water” years down the road and you have zero control over it.
While I definitely hate the “AI bubble” that has grown tremendously over the past 2-3 years, we definitely need to figure out how to place limits on it before shit really gets out of hand in another year or two. The problem is that anyone that knows anything about this stuff doesn’t work in or for the government. The woman in the article that said that this needs to be regulated at every point of course doesn’t work in tech, she works for some rights organization 🤦♂️
I thought that was Trump? 🤣
You’re missing one! 😺
Musk made 151 tweets on Sunday
Assuming he’s awake for 16 hours, that’s over 9 tweets an hour. Someone is definitely scared.
This is a month late, but what I meant was there is no way to do them completely separately since the state largely uses your federal return. When you submit your state taxes it checks to see if your federal return was already accepted (usually at that point you haven’t actually submitted your federal taxes, or at least the IRS hasn’t entered them in as submitted), if it shows as being accepted already their system is set up in a way that won’t allow a second submission online.
If you lived in NYC and made than 75k/year you can’t file online using the state’s website, and both of those were true for me. I moved out of NYC last June, I live in Florida now. Also, why should I have to go see a tax agent? I should just be able to do it all online myself. I’ve been doing it for 7 years with TurboTax.
I had to mail in my state taxes for NY due to NYC regulations, which I didn’t know about since I’ve been using TurboTax for 7 years. I was only informed of this after I had filed my taxes federally using the IRS system. There is no way to just file your state taxes online, you have to do both and if you submit them a second time it just gets rejected.
It’s good that they’re doing this, but it caused a lot of headaches for me that I was unaware of.
Yeah, I just assumed it would work smoothly by now. I’ve been using TurboTax for the past 7 years and have had no issues, I attempted to save money by doing it this way, but it caused way more headaches for me.
I had them already prepared (I attempted to do it via H&R block as well but it was rejected since I had already submitted my federal forms), I just couldn’t submit them. Also I moved 1300 miles away in the past year, so I couldn’t really do that anyway haha
A city problem to be more exact. Since I lived in NYC and made more than 75k in a year I couldn’t file online, using the site the IRS directed me to (I’ve been doing it myself with TurboTax for the past 7 years, and paying for it). Due to the IRS’ own rules, you can’t file just your state tax returns online, since they’re largely the same as the federal taxes. So both are actually at fault.
I live in Florida now so I don’t have to pay state taxes, so next year’s will be a breeze.
I filed for free with H&R Block.
Or Google/Reddit/Meta.
