After a successful pilot, we are making Direct File permanent and inviting all 50 states to offer this free filing option to their residents,

Taxes are federal - unless the state wants to pay for the cost of my choice of person to file them, why the fuck do they even get a voice in this?!

They already have an ad tier (tmobile bundles it into some of their plans). Is this going to be an even more ad tier?

And that is not a good thing.

Very much agree with this. I still remember coming out of the airport and thinking I’ll just grab a taxi instead of ordering a ride!

• got shit from the taxi driver for not paying cash (and watched them use the old school paper carbon copy of my card),
• listened to them grumble the whole time about how there was traffic,
• got to ride in a car that had duct tape on the seat and no working AC
• and experience a ride that made me wonder how long until they lost their license

All this without any ability to give feedback or a rating to the driver.

That was the last time I ever used a taxi.

Pedophile was shot and killed by his victim.

Don’t try to sugar coat it. It doesn’t matter if they were gay, straight, or anything else.

At the end of the day, they were an adult, in a position of power and access to a minor, using their position to take sexual advantage of someone who needed help.

Label them terrorists, cease all financial aid to them, and impose sanctions. Let them see how far they get on their own buck.

Isn’t that what the US does to every other country acting like this? Why are these cunts special?

They can fuck right off with their integration; preferably into the nearest star.

All our account names are some variation of fuck off sony, with email addresses to match, which are ruled to go straight into the trash.

Valve has a had a stranglehold on the PC games market for a long time and with this claim we’re challenging the status quo

Nothing has stopped competition from making their own platforms; god knows every god damn company out there has tried (Origin, Uplay, etc.) and failed to delivery a basic and functional option!

The reason Steam is (and will continue to be )successful is because they developed and listened to their user base without being greedy scumbags!

Agreed - rather give the people there the ability to install this themselves than have them try to block Firefox overall.

Really wish there was more regulation on this. Everything core instruments should not require software to function.

If only we had lawmakers that kept greedy corporations in check, instead of bickering over bullshit.

Still no plans/pricing for Proton Pass Family (only the full proton suite).

Proton is missing many users with this simple lack of effort; not everyone wants drive, vpn, etc.

Some folks just want a password manager for the immediate and extended family; and often times we are willing to just pay a few bucks extra per month and not worry about helping these people after they get hacked, due to terrible passwords.

I don’t mean that it’s been around for a long time, but the lack of innovation on it.

Plugins in browsers have been a crucial function for years and available on Android. The only reason they’re not on iOS is because Apple forces all browsers to use WebKit instead of Gecko/Blink/etc, like they do everywhere else.

I am more excited that Apple is being forced to allow other browser engines on iOS.

In 2024 I should not be forced to browse ad riddled websites that risk seizures upon loading, and further redirecting you to more shit when you try to close it, on a $1000 handheld computer.

Give us a browser engine that supports proper extensions, not this shit that is as old as the original iPhone!

Not just Windows, but Macs as well; I’ve had three different generations of MacBooks that you could plug a USB-C (thunderbolt) into any dock (Dell, HengeDock, random amazon brand, etc) and they simply worked.

I do feel your pain about multiple monitors; it is even more evident when you try to run some of them rotated and/or flipped.

I’ve not found a solution for it yet, and in some small way, I am glad to hear it’s not just me having these problems.

I’ve been debating for a while to switch windows to Linux and see how well it works for my games, thanks Microsoft for finally pushing me to do it!

Only thing keeping me on windows has been games (all other development use is far easier on Linux); but with the work that happened with Steam Deck, many games are now fully functional on Linux.

A simple fact that consoles require a monthly subscription to play anything with friends is why they will never reach PC gaming.

I paid for hardware, I paid for the game, I pay for the internet; fuck your subscription just to join an online server you contribute nothing to.

The Entertainment Software Association had pushed for the exemption for game consoles, arguing that including them would have made it easier to add chips that allow people to play pirated games.

What a load of utter shit. It would allow consumers to fix their things without dealing with crooks. Take a good look at Asus, they’re only the latest example.

Yes, and you everyone should be staying the hell away from it If the creators washed their hands of it and feel guilty for selling out, anyone continuing to use it since Facebook acquisition, has no privacy rights whatsoever.
