re: usgov, taxes, legal/uspol 

Also, the tax prep site didn't show me terms & conditions until AFTER paying, & gave me no path to a refund without a forced agreement. Pretty sure that's de-jure illegal, but de-facto clowns with guns run the circus.

So do I accept forced binding arbitration, or do I opt out in favor of forced jury-less trials in the jurisdiction of Dallas County & North Texas?

re: usgov, taxes 

Holy slop, all the AI fuck integration is too much!

And this marks the first time I've had to fight off *all* the "modern website" pop-ups throughout the whole filing process. Who the hell wants to subscribe to a newsletter in the middle of entering tax return data, especially after saying no on login? Why would you want to cover up one unwanted pop-up with a *second* unwanted pop-up just two seconds later?

Next year, I'm sending paper forms USPS.

genai, humorous 

many free software projects are banning contributions that were made partially or fully by generative models

the genie is out of the bottle, and we can't get it back in. genai bans are here to stay and will eventually take over the whole industry

don't get left behind! ban genai on your project as well!

it's always bad gateway and never

aww who's a good gateway yes you are! you're a good gateway
