  • Wealth Taxes Are Pointless While Tax Havens Exist

    Jump

  • Except often a good number of their assets exist in the real world. Businesses, buildings & land. These can be taxed regardless of their global location.

    We can find fun new ways to apply horrendous taxes that penalize this behavior but reduce them for those who behave in a decent way. Maybe we start taxing turnover on companies use the Irish double sandwich-whatever trick to minimize tax. Either they play ball and contribute to society or they GTFO and someone else takes their slice

  • No Bro This War Will Be Completely Different, Bro

    Jump

  • Maybe it's just me, I can't see that image for what it is until I focus!

    What it it is: painted fists tied in rope.

    What I see: two painted bones with rope arms posing for their pre-boxing match promotion...

  • This guy's face alone is birth control

  • Buck's face looks like the Temu Adam Scott

    *No hate to Adam Scott but in that Walter Mitty movie, his face and entire being was so punchable! He's an excellent character villain!

  • Honda unveils new electric moped cheaper than gasoline equivalent, no motorcycle license needed

    Jump

  • New Zealand is similar, on a standard car license, you can ride a 50cc scooter (up to 2kw I think and max 50km/h). Anything bigger/faster requires a motorcycle license. I really hope we get these too!

  • What do Computer power supply issues look like?

    Jump

  • A bad PSU will usually result in boot problems or general instability - applications or OS crashing, bsod etc particularly when power demand spikes (gaming, heavy disk use etc).

    Assuming you're not running out of RAM, this sounds like a software issue. It could be drivers as others mentioned, some background software interfering or perhaps even malware. As a just in case: have you fiddled with process priorities in task manager?

    If you've got a spare hdd, you could swap that in and do a clean install of your OS. If the issues remain, it's a hardware problem, if they disappear then it's something software or config in your current install

  • Unable to wake Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop 43 from monitor sleep

    Jump

  • I've seen the same, it was fixed by selecting a different color profile under display settings

  • When you wanna watch something but for whatever reason using a big screen is inconvienient, would you just watch it on your phone or wait till you find the time to watch it on the big screen?

    Jump

  • Big screen. Small screens are only for short clips on sites, posts or a show I've seen 100x on repeat until I fall asleep

  • Growing evidence points to link between autism and wildfire smoke

    Jump

  • ... And the fires are started by Jewish space lasers! Conspiracy confirmed! /s

  • this feels deeply personal to Peterson

    Jump

  • Only possible explanation for these responses: Elmo is the true alpha here, both Peterson and Taite were traumatized as children/teens when they came home from school one day and walked in on Elmo, fur-deep in their mum with their father huddled in the corner crying.

    This is the ONLY possible explanation for raging at a children's puppet like this.

  • We can reverse America’s decline | Bernie Sanders

    Jump

  • At this point America has terminal cancer in every single major organ. The only cure from here is to cut it all out and replace it with someone fresh or a near fatal dose of chemo to wipe it all out. Anything less will just delay the inevitable death.

  • Microsoft is working to rebuild trust in Windows

    Jump

  • Too little, too fucking late!

  • Those who've switched to Linux in the last year, how is it going?

    Jump

  • So painfully, boringly good.

    Day-to-day, it just works, I don't have to fight it. It doesn't do anything I don't want it to do. I don't miss office, everything is clean and snappy.

    I have managed to play almost every game thrown at it (Bazzite) - the only one that didn't work was an older DX7 title. DOS games just work - they took more effort than this under Win9x.

    I have got a couple of minor issues but all fixable.:

    • I encountered a issue where it wouldn't wake from sleep - fixed by selecting a different color profile in the display settings.
    • I managed to break something in fstsb trying to setup a persistent network drive. Very easy to roll back, I'm 100% sold on immutable until I need something more customisable
    • Recently my Bluetooth kb/mouse would drop off when the PC went idle, wouldn't reconnect/wake up until power cycling the PC. Fixed by disabling BT hibernation/sleep

    Having said that, last week I had to install Win11 on the kids laptop to be ready for school - I hadn't installed 11 outside of a controlled Corp environment with solid group policy control since the early days. God-damn Win11 is a dumpster fire! The install UI looks nice but the noise is turned up to 11, popup, wizards, setup this, setup that, backup, OneDrive, give us all your information and sign away any privacy.

    Regardless of any minor issues I bump into on the way, I am never going back!

  • What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them?

    Jump

  • The labels and categorisation of everything can get tiring, and be utterly useless or confusing for anyone unfamiliar with a particular genre (it all sounds the same!), however these can still be handy when you find a particular sound you like, you can use that to discover other bands with similar sounds or style.

    As bands in that genre experiment and evolve their sound, they may cross, mix it create all new genres that can lead you down a new list of bands to explore - or perhaps it's not your flavour so you stick with what you like.

    Most hobbies have depth to them like this, I guess music is so variable that we need a thousand ways to describe all the various possibilities.

  • ‘Make Me Look Thin for a Change!’ Trump Tells Famed NYT Photographer He’s Been Making Him Look ‘Heavy’

    Jump

  • I would sent the journalist $5 if they actually responded like this!

  • Trump says he’s withdrawing National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland

  • Bazzite has seen a massive jolt in growth over the holiday season, surpassing 50k active users. The Fedora Atomic image has gained 38.8k users total in 2025 since it began counting in April 🥳

    Jump

  • I second this, it's why I went with Bazzite on my main rig - it just needs to work and be reliable. The last thing I want to be doing in my spare time is funking around trying to fix anything that happens to break.

    All my other devices run whatever I feel like so I can scratch that curiosity-itch but they get reinstalled if anything major breaks and I can't fix it in a reasonable amount of time

    "Dad! They all come from the same animal!"

    It really is just a skill issue for Americans isnt it...

    Jump

  • This one doesn't land with me

    It feels like "US mass shootings are caused by a kid showing off his dad's ar when someone accidentally switched it to auto and bumped the trigger"

  • Charlie Kirk shooting site ‘recreation’ at TPUSA event sparks backlash

    Jump

  • You think when Jesus comes back, he really wants to see a cross? That's like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant on.
