This is great, thank you.
I miss human DJ’s.
To be more specific, I miss the left-of-the-dial 11pm variety.
And Shoutcast-style radio with live DJ’s. I still spin up a stream every now and then, but it’s not the same as it used to be.
For proposal #4 it decided that the trees needed tiddies.

Am I the only one who still uses the subscriptions page? I get a chronological list of all my subscribed channel’s video releases. I have seen zero indication that I’m missing anything at all, and I fairly frequently go to channel’s pages to check that my subscription list is complete.
I’ve never clicked a single notification bell, and don’t rely on the home page’s recommendations/sorting, unless I’m actively seeking out new recommendations.

LMFAO
When I was in high school in the 90’s, we had a soda machine that was owned by the school, and had all the different brands - Coke, Pepsi, RC, etc.
One year, they took out the old, independent machines and replaced them with Pepsi machines that were owned by either Pepsi Co or some nameless vendor. They only contained Pepsi brand products - Pepsi, Mountain Dew, etc.
At first we were annoyed, but eventually… I’m now a Pepsi guy for life. I drastically prefer it to Coke or anything else.
At the time, their ad slogan was “The Choice of a New Generation” - And they ensured that by making contracts favorable to school district’s bottom lines in a successful attempt to groom me into being a Pepsi guy.
And it worked. I was groomed, and I still abide by my programming to this day, even while being fully aware of it.
If you think you’re immune to corporate programming because you’re aware of it and are a skeptic at heart - you aren’t.
The mad lady is also pointing with her thumb, which is surprisingly off-putting. And I love how the sleeve melds into the arm, that’s fashionable.
IPFS (or similar tech) is the only sustainable solution for media hosting on federated platforms.
Permanence is important - old posts with dead media links is bad for society IMO - but we can’t expect volunteer instance admins to be held responsible for something as complex and expensive as permanent media hosting.
Can anyone confirm whether or not it’s built on Electron?
The closest I can find is from Feb 2023, saying that at that time it would not be Electron:
Mozilla also still plans to use the Firefox web browser as the core platform for Thunderbird. That leaves Thunderbird as one of the few cross-platform mail applications that isn’t an Electron app or based on web technologies in some way
So possibly Electron-like but based on Firefox rather than Chromium?
Morrowind: Nix hounds, kwama, guar… Cities made from the husks of ancient crustaceans… Fast travel networks with time consequences based on the speed of the insect you’re riding inside of. Insane lore that feels like a real religion… Are you the chosen one? Is there such a thing? Have you been “chosen” or are you choosing to make it happen? Ash ghouls.
Everything else: Deer, wolf, bear… Renaissance-era European architecture… Instantaneous fast travel with no basis in lore. Dragons.
I’ll forgive the cliff racers.
Just wait until the “targeted ad” bubble pops because people realize it’s all a fraudulently inflated market with little to no true value.
There will be wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
The standard deduction existed prior to Trump and changes every year, but I’m not sure exactly how it’s determined. Under Trump, it was effectively doubled from what it was previously. You can view a historic chart on this Wikipedia page.
Your good/bad assessment is overly simplistic, but essentially correct. In your example, you CAN claim your mortgage interest, OR choose the standard deduction - But in YOUR situation you benefit MORE from the standard deduction.
With a larger standard deduction, those with ‘simpler’ financial situations benefit from a lowered taxable income amount, without having to do the complex bits of documenting/justifying deductions they claim. - And without the risk of a potential audit.
For example, someone who DOESN’T own their home or have expenses they could deduct, still get their income reduced by that standard amount.
High-complexity situations (rich people) don’t benefit from it, and still are required to document and justify their deductions line-by-line.
The US tax system is overly complex and burdensome, but a higher standard deduction is, at least from my understanding, a benefit to the less fortunate that the more well-off don’t also benefit from.
I couldn’t tell you what income level represents the ‘split’ between those who benefit from it and those who don’t. It has less to do with income and more to do with your broader situation - Mortgage amounts, expenses, etc.
