As a W2 worker, as soon as I have all the tax documents I need. The longer you wait the more people get in line in front of you in processing, which can mean significant delays on your refund. If I were a business owner and owed taxes I'd wait as long as possible, so as to make the most use of the money I owe them.

He's obsessed with his image, I would bet he spends significant time reading posts about himself on social media. Your best bet, without having a bunch of money to put towards the cause, is to post about him on truth social. However, any message of the nature of your example would be deleted before he had a chance to read it.

If you have some money but not Elon money, the suggestions from others are probably your best bet and less likely to get filtered out if negative. Billboard, swarm of social media bots, etc.

 

I got a canon pixma tr4520 from a technologically challenged relative, who told me they couldn't get it to print and it was mine to try and fix. I worked out that it didn't have an ink cartridge in it (not even an empty), bought a replacement, and got it printing. But now it has vertical alignment issues and paper jams. I can't afford a new printer right now, and I would love to fix this one. My fear is that I'll sink half the cost of a new one into it between the ink I already bought and replacement parts, just for it to come out not working anyway. Is it worth my time to try and fix or should I cut my losses and start saving for a new unit?

I use joplin with joplin server running through a reverse proxy in a docker container. I love it. It also supports encryption, so you could use a more convenient service like Google drive and still be assured of your privacy.

Even after all these years, I physically cringe every time I read "ReTruths"

There's a lot of them and I want to browse them from the file explorer on my PC. I'm sure I could accomplish the same by plugging the phone in, but I don't see the point in that when KDE connect already has the functionality I want.

 

Running android 14, oneUI v6.1.1. I go to filesystem expose > add storage location in the connect app, but I can't figure out a way to path to videos. Maybe that's considered a protected system folder and hidden or something? I notably can't manually type a path, so even having that may not help. I need a way to get there via the GUI.

 

I'm sorting and renaming old video files, and one of the pieces of information I need is the date the video was filmed. By default dolphin shows the date the file was created/modified/accessed, but not shot. I have verified this information exists on the file with the MediaInfo app, which shows what I need under the encoded and tagged dates. Is there a way to have dolphin also show that information for video files? Bonus points if it can convert the default timezone of the stamps (UTC) to local.

And yes, I am aware that I could create a custom script for the context menu that would find me that info. I may do that if needed. But I wanted to see if doing it this way works first.

Its app on a specific platform? Or do you mean the entire service? Seems weird that they would sunset their only product.

Tidal has no official Linux app, which is shocking considering their demographic. But a hero has made an app that gets pretty close. Under the hood it's the web client with some add-ons to support full quality streaming. The user experience is generally fairly close to an official app.

I used soundiiz to convert all my content over, and of probably over 10,000 songs there were less than 100 unavailable, so library isn't a concern. The increased quality is nice, but the big reason I choose tidal is that instead of doing unnecessary stuff like podcasts they pay artists better. As much as 3X according to some things I've read. I have not verified those numbers.

Cards on the table: for Google money I'd do it too. If they want to enshittify their product until the competition has a fighting chance, who am I to stop them? Sure, it's an annoying and anticonsumer thing to do. But making a "free" product's bad qualities harder to circumvent isn't the ethical hill I'm going to die on.

I took a class on nonviolent protest in college. Covered the lives and work of ghandi, MLKJ, thoreau. Very enlightening.

Funny enough, the greatest blessing in India simply adds the words "in law"

This was the answer, but it seems to be bugged on the current samsung OS. Every time I lock my phone it comes back and I have to toggle that notification category on and off again. Blocking notifications from the app wholesale gets rid of them, but I'm worried I'd be turning off something important if I did that.

Is combat focus a deal breaker? If not: Faster Than Light Volcanoids (early access) Darkest dungeon (kind of) Xcom

If you step away from the ship, things like mass effect and outer worlds come to mind. If the ship can be a base there's a whole world there. Astroneer, planet crafter (early access), Starbound, terraria, Subnautica If exploration/colony sim is cool you're looking at factorio, rift breaker, frostpunk, ixion (hardcore!), satisfactory

I expect I've stayed from your prompt at this point. It's a tough niche. Good luck with your search!

Edit: on mobile, don't know why my line breaks didn't work. Forgive the formatting.
