Hey this solution seems to work but it’s not perfect; I don’t know how we can improve it, and nothing to replace it with, but let’s take it down asap.

I know it’s an edge case. But the edge case of having to pay more on taxes on increasing income existing for incomes close to poverty line seems counterproductive, doesn’t it?
That’s not how tax brackets should work. But sadly for last year’s state tax I came across it. [Example numbers] Previously I had 24,200 annual salary but zero tax as it was below 25,000. Even though personal deductions are 10,000, below 25 was considered too low to tax. This year, due to a mistake from employers I was paid for two weeks retroactively, now I have 25,300. Instead of taxing 300 above 25,000 the tax was for 15,300 after deduction. So I had to pay taxes which decreased the money below 25,000 which should not happen if income below 25,000 pays no tax.
And considering there might be things like not qualifying for financial assistance and other things when you cross 25,000 (again example numbers), the actual benefit of making slightly below that, is higher than making slightly above that…
So the system is putting a resistance to overcome poverty. Either you start making double of what you are making, or stay on your lane. Because trying to improve your situation by only a little is harmful.
Of course. How else do you keep poor people poor and rich richer.
Poor people: charge them extra for not affording things.
Rich people: let them buy things they don’t need but can afford and then charge poor people to rent those things.
The reality where people cannot afford $10-20 things. And the corporations just start charging those poor people interest.
That sounds like too much work, and what if there are clouds. We should make devices that can be calibrated when you’re in a certain location based on their standards and then the device will continue to show that locations’ shadow location without the sun.
Yeah sure, I’ll compile it in my OS. For any other OS, either I’m not knowledgeable about the tools available, and many of them that I am not going to spend money to acquire. If providing the binary a developer compiles for themselves would solve it, we’d not have that problem at all.
I specifically hate when program or libraries are only in compiled form, and then I get an error messages talking about an absolute path it has with some usernames I’ve never seen before, and no way to correct it as there’s no code. Turns out when people pass compiled versions to the OS they don’t use themselves they don’t encounter the errors and think it works fine.
I haven’t tried many CAD softwares but AutoCAD has really intuitive UI. I used to be able to find most things by just thinking what tab it should be based on what it is. It actually inspired me to learn better programming and software design to make something intuitive. I haven’t used it in years since I came to Linux so as long as they haven’t changed it.
Lol, that’s a fun angle. They don’t need all those fields coz they just get your information the other way
Dam, this is actually awesome, I actually wanted to do something similar to this but couldn’t figure things out.
I need to try again, might be able to make a virtual desktop screen and make xrandr pipe that output to that window.
Basically the thing I wanted to make is kind of like the picture in picture mode we have in browsers but for anything. Like just have those app open in a different virtual window and only remap the portion you wanna see into a always on top window.
You said you’re not allowed to use a horse on freeway and it’s not a fair comparison. But I think it is exactly that. Freeway is where the majority of traffic is and it’s analogous to some of those major platforms where everyone is nowadays. You can use a horse and go to any place as long as there is land. It’s just not practical to do it.
Yes you can make a website anyone can access but how will they find that website? You’ll need to inform the people in the web, and that’s dominated by those platforms. When people did the reddit blackout thing, reddit removed the posts and moving to lemmy, so without those posts we can’t expect people to know about alternatives. There are probably so many websites that host contents for users to post and such, but how many have we heard about? How many can we find with an internet search?
Common knowledge doesn’t mean people use it. It’s easy to forget even if you studied about it in school.
For example you is singular and plural. But we rarely use you for multiple people nowadays, we just go “you guys”, “you all”, “all of you”, or something else to disambiguate.
Languages move towards easy communication and simplicity.
Now think, patents are similar things but for with more money. And imagine if someone else had similar idea and made slightly similar website you go sue them coz you had the idea first.
