Auzy, (edited ) to news in I.R.S. to Begin Trial of Its Own Free Tax-Filing System

Here in Australia, you can literally file your tax now for free in a few clicks using the government website. If you wait a few weeks, everything for most people is prefilled except deductions

It’s absolutely awesome

Auzy, to animemes in Reddit ☕

Was on Reddit today, and in r/Melbourne they were joking about firebombing someone.

Reddit was always a cesspool, but now without as much moderation, it’s gotten far worse (can’t even report it without an account).

Auzy, to opensource in Thoughts on Post-Open Source?

Doesn’t make sense at all.

I keep seeing Redhat used an example, but they contribute a HUGE amount a source code and projects… Pipewire, systemd, rpm, DBUS and even the main XML addon for VSCode, etc.

I don’t think people realise how much poop linux would be swimming in if they went bankrupt…

Redhat are literally one of the big reasons why Linux is so seamless these days, and they’re solving a lot of the big problems. And from my understanding, they still contribute the code seperately anyway.

That being said, I agree money needs to go towards developers. However, a lot of them end up hired at major companies. And I don’t think this is the way to approach it

Auzy, to memes in Vaccine research vs. anti-vax research

Yeah… For people saying COVID is “just the flu”, I had a friend who ended up in hospital with COVID… When I got covid and thought I may have spread it to her (fortunately she got lucky and somehow didn’t get it) , she pretty much started prepacking for hospital.

It’s still a super serious virus, same as the real flu…

Auzy, to chat in Why are redditors like this?

I went to Reddit today and in a subreddit, they were literally joking about firebombing someone and how it would be disappointing if someone did it.

Reddit is basically truth social 2.0 at this point

Auzy, (edited ) to piracy in Looks like DRM prevented to watch movies in many theaters yesterday

Screw the movie theatres anyway… Here in Australia, there are two big ones (Hoyts and Village), and both screw patrons by doing things like charging patrons extra money for booking online.

In fact, they ruined every joke in the simpsons movie for me (except one) by allowing ads to use clips from the movie. By 45mins of ads, every joke was ruined.

I really wish the big theatres here would f off, and get replaced entirely by small ones. I don’t pay for 40mins of sh***y coca cola ads.

I no longer go at all. It’s not a good experience, and its not even a good place to take a date

Auzy, (edited ) to fuck_cars in MAY USE FULL LANE

I’ve noticed on facebook, that every anti-EV clown out there seems to think everyone is towing on a daily basis too.

The irony is, that the people who drive these large trucks are actually the people who tend to require the least towing capacity. In fact, I’ve maybe only ever seen 1 or 2 of those large Utes here in Australia actually tow anything remotely big. And for most tradies, Vans are actually a far better option than Utes anyway (much more secure)

Auzy, (edited ) to linux in PipeWire 1.0 Released For Managing Audio/Video Steams On The Linux Desktop

I don’t think honestly he gets enough credit.

If you check SystemD, its a HUGE step up, which is why everyone is using it now (whereas, the old scripts had race conditions, were a pain to write and other issues). Anyone who has written both can tell you how much better things are now…

The fact this issue is happening on both Pipewire and Pulseaudio also suggests it’s more likely a bug in the drivers… It might not be obvious on ALSA directly, but that doesn’t mean an issue doesn’t exist there…

And honestly, the situation before PulseAudio was awful. Audio not working was a common issue, and low latency audio was the least of anyone’s problems. Whereas, these days, because of Pulseaudio, even gaming is a thing now (back then, I even saw issues on tuxracer, and Unreal tournament back in the days).

In regards to setup, most distributions will handle that anyway I’m guessing. So not sure why the configuration process should matter unless you’re in Arch or Slackware? As long as the distribution handles it, it shouldn’t matter. It’d really a non-issue honestly.

I do a lot of middleware development and we’re regularly blamed by users for bugs/problems upstream too (which is why we’ve now added a huge amount of enduser diagnostics/metrics in our products which has made it more obvious the issues aren’t related to us). In practice, very few people have issues with Pulseaudio (I haven’t seen issues since launch). Sometimes as well, keep in mind it can be the sound interface (especially if its USB)

Auzy, to memes in Vegan food: The west vs India

From where I stand internationally though, it seems like a toxic culture too regarding it… Like, apparently, I’m meant to be considered more macho for eating meat somehow… I’m an omnivore, and I’ll eat what I want (the standard of vegetarian food actually seems much higher)

Auzy, (edited ) to linux in Does Wayland really break everything? (Nate Graham's OG post ref'd in the Phoronix article)

X11 has it’s own issues (and there are a lot of them, including security)

What features exactly?

Auzy, to memes in Connoisseur

I upvote because I’m on beehaw… and fairly sure I can’t downvote

Auzy, to news in Stockholm to ban petrol and diesel cars from centre from 2025

Depends on the car. Unfortunately, you always have people who want their cars and motorbikes to be loud (small penis syndrome).

Auzy, to memes in Vaccine research vs. anti-vax research

Fortunately, survival of the fittest and anti vaxxers love things like those anti-5g pendants… Many of which are radioactive

Auzy, to linux in Distro for POS

if it is for a small shop, whatever you’re used to.

For mass deployment, you’ll want to probably use something with proper support

Auzy, (edited ) to news in Paris mayor quits X platform, calling it a 'gigantic global sewer'

The Paris Mayor? Is this really a major story?

Lots of people have left or silent quit… At this time, its hardly a story anymore honestly
