This is correct. Also because congress changes the tax code hundreds of times per year, it is practically impossible for an individual to keep up with every minute change. You could try filing by yourself, but you’ll end up working with those tax preparers, paying them a fee instead.

Both look amazing tho

The answer is always DRM and monetization. If you didn’t have enough reasons to not buy products with locked down software, here’s even more reasons.

Your applicable skills could be applied elsewhere, be it at private companies or in other public sectors. You could also - wild thought - work alongside your co-workers to prevent those who are trying to harm the citizens you were appointed to protect from attacking us, such as ICE impersonators.

TL;DR, please find another job if you don’t like the labels and stigma, or put some effort into changing the perspectives of the citizenry.

I wonder if adding something less problematic for electronics, such as mineral oil, could be a valid way to bring it back! You could even make a mouse that has liquid gel that circulates around your palm.

Maybe GLADOS… for those who make more than 200k USD/year.

Halo and Destiny are basically the sole reason why I love burst rifles in any FPS game.

Just like how Breaking Bad intentionally fudges the recipe, you gotta do your research first if you want to imitate or try things you see in media.

Sponsorblock extension, works best on Firefox and forks

UBlock Origin and YouTube revanced, that’s the combo you should try using. No need to worry about looking at the ad if there is no ad.

I don’t think that’ll make things better, to be honest.

To celebrate, let me repost this same meme I made here when I first started posting in 196:

Good point, I should have mentioned that. Although I think it would be reasonable to say that paying a subscription for security updates would be a non-starter for almost all of the home users.

My decision was to install Linux Mint first on my work laptop and not my main gaming rig, so I would have the ability to switch between both OS’s as needed, and have a fallback machine if either failed.

ProtonDB (Compatibility Database) should be your friend in checking what works and what doesn’t, and for the most part, Windows games “just work”, no need to even toggle a setting (unless you count forcing Proton instead of a native Linux port).

If you have software that is critical to your daily life on windows (Photoshop, Autodesk, VR software, anti-cheat heavy games), you dont need to jump ship on your main hardware. There are ways to get support after October 15th (Through IOT LTSC versions of windows 10, but you’ll have to find a way to get it).

All of your other use cases would be perfectly served by any Linux distro, the Interstellar Lemmy client even has a convenient flatpack for a 1-click install.

Check ProtonDB first (you can even log in to view all your library at once). If everything you would want to play works, go for it! If not everything works currently, I’d recommend getting your hands on IOT LTSC win10, and use a spare device to get familiar with Linux distros.

There’s no one “gaming” Linux distro that will work, but I personally just use Linux Mint because it is ol’ reliable for me - intuitive enough GUI, but just as configurable as anything else. You do miss out on some of the more bleeding edge stuff that distros such as Arch and Bazzite get, but unless you are using very new hardware, I’m not sure if it would be necessary.
