IRS successfully launches their own free Direct File - some of my fellow 'murcans are eligible

This is the first launch of the program and they're still in a pilot phase. It will presumably roll out to more states (maybe all?) Next year

Just be thankful for areas that actually have training courses. In my state it's literally a fee and a signature. Really not even that anymore

Crunchyroll just Committed a Federal Crime.

I'd be curious to see a citation because everything I can find suggests it's still obstruction of correspondence and a federal offense as they were not the intended recipient

Bite mark analysis has no basis in science, experts now say. Why is it still being used in court?
Reply in thread
Right or wrong, they committed a crime at the time. A change in law doesn't really invalidate the crime committed. That differs from this where the conviction itself was based on faulty evidence or procedure.
Just for clarity sake, I don't really agree with this but I do think it's a valid difference between the situations

Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024

Pocket casts is really good, but their premium pricing has really climbed recently (device syncing, better organization options, and desktop/web clients). AntennaPod is almost as good and FOSS if that matters to you.

Why is firefox losing market share? Why don't more people use Firefox?
Reply in thread
There's not a good enough™ one. Genuinely that's the biggest thing I miss using Firefox over chrome

What games popularized certain mechanics?

I would say the original Zelda isn't, but link to the past definitely holds up. Honestly most of the 2d Zelda's from link to the past onwards are good

Apple Quietly Introduced iPhone Reboot Code Which is Locking Out Cops
Reply in thread
The more full reason is that the device is still encrypted prior to first unlock and is harder to extract any information from. As to what you said about police requiring you to enter your PIN, they can't. You can't be forced to reveal your passwords/PINs but they can legally force you to unlock biometrics (fingerprint/face ID)

Ah ok, other replies mentioned API access in relation to servers so I misunderstood the issue. It looks like that API is hardlocked to Google (and Samsung?) devices. Thanks for the info

TTRPG Players and DMs, what's in your self hosted toolbox?
Not really the topic, but why do you want to run owlbear alongside foundry? It seems like a slimmer alternative rather than something to use in conjunction.
To actually answer the title post I just run foundryvtt and I have a bunch of RPG manuals backed up in Nextcloud so I guess that too

Google layoffs: Sundar Pichai-led company fires entire Python team for ‘cheaper labour’
Reply in thread
These python programmers are literally maintainers of the language. They're not a dime a dozen. Not saying it's impossible or anything but you're looking to get very high caliber engineers for under 140k

Managing family scheduling and gaming
My group is almost exclusively dads with fulltime jobs. We play remote (FoundryVTT), run one game a week that runs between 2 and 4 hours.
Full disclosure I'll say that remote is about 85% as good as playing in person, but I'll take 80% and easy scheduling over 100% but constant missed games or conflicts

Yeah I think that's exactly his point. Every browser prompts you to make it default, it's not exactly a complex change.
