jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Grindr Won’t Let Users Say 'No Zionists'English1·21 days agoWell I wouldn’t say it’s better but it’s definitely less enshittified. Give it time, the owners of Sniffies have given no indication they have the ability to earn anyone’s trust.
jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Reddit@lemmy.world•I remember how it was :( At least the 3rd party app users are banned, yay?1·2 months agoI’m still using RIF with my own access token, what do you mean they are banned?
jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•The U.S. Just Ran a Solar Storm Emergency Drill. The Real Deal Would Be a CatastropheEnglish2·3 months agoThat $126,500 number refers to the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE), but it’s not a hard threshold below which you’re totally off the hook. U.S. citizens abroad still have to file a tax return if their income exceeds the standard filing requirement (around $14k+ for single filers). And the FEIE only applies to earned income, not investment income or retirement income. It’s not automatic, you have to qualify under the bona fide residence or physical presence test, and file the right forms (like Form 2555) to claim it.
Even if you’re making well under $126k, you still have to file, and you might owe something depending on your situation.

At least have some dignity and be grounded in the reality of where this company is aligned politically. Reddit doesn’t care about you or anything other than emulating everything Elon Musk does.
jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux@programming.dev•Linux Mint Debian Edition Is Getting Support for OEM Installations with LMDE 711·4 months agoIn other words an edition of Linux mint is finally getting a feature Ubuntu has for every variant, good for them I guess?
jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Reddit@lemmy.world•I got banned from reddit for inciting violence. This was the comment.41·6 months agoThis system is so easily gamed by report spam. I’ve gotten multiple warnings on my account for “violence” removed after appealing, their system is automating this somehow and it’s not doing a good job. Really that’s just the story of Reddit for the past several years, they cast a wide net and piss off a lot of people now. They used to be a lot more hands-off but now they’re just controlling fuckwits.
jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Reddit@lemmy.world•Trying to post a local event to reddit (with mastodon link)...cant because of auto-mod.4·6 months ago“Sorry, you fell into our labyrinth of regex filters arbitrarily imposed by an unvetted volunteer on a billion dollar publicly traded platform. Your opinion doesn’t matter.”
When they IP banned me, I just turned off wifi on my phone and created a new account with a separate browser. But looking back reddit was never worth it. We’re all very addicted to this toxic form of crowd sourced moderated information. I’m not really convinced Lemmy is better on a design level, the upvote system is identical and doesn’t prevent echo chambers. I guess there’s autonomy with instances, so that’s nice…
jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit shares plunge after Google algorithm change contributes to miss in user numbers2·6 months agoOnce you understand how reddit admins are basically mods themselves it kind of makes sense. The company has hired lots of power mods over the years that don’t “respect the human”. And the forces that be want to continue profiting from volunteer mods’ free labor. It says a lot more about the individual reddit admins that they make the lazy decisions they do.
jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit shares plunge after Google algorithm change contributes to miss in user numbers3·6 months agoThat’s part of the enshittification rug pull, they take over as the hub of forums for most of the internet and then gatekeep as a power play.
I don’t see in this post where we learn how you interacted with the thread…? Reddit doesn’t ban for multiple accounts, they actually tolerate it but so little you have to make sure each account never even views anything the other account engaged with in any way. Reddit runs the site with zero-trust and is mostly getting the user base they deserve.
jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft won’t support Office apps on Windows 10 after October 14thEnglish1·7 months agoWell, thank GNOME for it being somewhat usable, but I have higher standards.
jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft won’t support Office apps on Windows 10 after October 14thEnglish31·7 months agoHow are they going to drop updates for something they have to spend zero energy on to stay compatible? Windows 11 is a low effort UI re-hash with some minor kernel iterations. I love and miss the Linux desktop and want it to succeed, but it’s clear there’s a bias here meant to push a narrative.
jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft won’t support Office apps on Windows 10 after October 14thEnglish62·7 months agoFormer burned out core LM developer here, the grass is not always greener (but maybe is if you don’t know how the sausage is cooked).
jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft won’t support Office apps on Windows 10 after October 14thEnglish8·7 months agoI’ll use Windows 10 and pay for the updates for years while using old versions of office. Fuck Windows 11.
jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•LG and Samsung are adding Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant to their TVsEnglish1·7 months agoBut how are you going to integrate with active directory? Oh right you can’t, it just limits you to Ubuntu. And good luck finding a company with an IT department that knows how to set that up.
jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•LG and Samsung are adding Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant to their TVsEnglish3·7 months agoI’d love to use Linux for work, but my job pays me to endure pain.
jsonjson@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•LG and Samsung are adding Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant to their TVsEnglish41·7 months agoMeanwhile I am using local models through home assistant. The fact I can run something equivalent to GPT 3.5 turbo on a $800 graphics card kind of negates any of the benefits of these dumb integrations that require NPUs. Maybe Microsoft should bring back basic quality of life improvements that were in Windows 10 in Windows 11 instead of desperately waving their arms around trying to be relevant to consumers. Dumbasses.
A lot of people profile him as just a weird nerd and treat him like a digital punching bag, but I think it’s a mistake to underestimate a censorship extremist who built an empire on unpaid labor. Ironically, the loudest “fuck this guy” comments often help him, because they reinforce the idea that opposition is just angry noise, not serious critique. That plays better in mainstream media than you’d think.
