IRS vows to digitize all taxpayer documents by 2025
Just tell me what I owe or what my refund is (or since I use a standard deduction, just take out the right amount to begin with) and allow me to contest it if I disagree.

Major airline faces backlash after using ‘ghost flights’ to exploit a legal loophole: ‘They weren’t even selling tickets’
Reply in thread
Love the double standard. When you do this as a passenger to get a cheaper fare the airliner will ban you for life.

The TSA will use facial recognition in over 400 airports
I was just at an airport that was doing this. I entered my ID into a slot and they scanned my face. There was a sign that said that the face scan would be immediately deleted, but I don't believe it. I didn't really want to be face scanned but I also didn't want to make a scene.

Revealed: WHO aspartame safety panel linked to alleged Coca-Cola front group

Apart from the aspartame, that's also like 900mg of caffeine a day, which is over twice the recommended amount, and 700mg of sodium.

Why are flies so attracted to poop?
Also how do they find the poop so quickly. My dog poops and in the 5 seconds I go to pick it up there's like 7 flies on it.

Sync is back on the Play Store, but it's not a third-party Reddit app anymore

I bet a large number of the negative comments only checked out Lemmy the weeks of the protests. I think their critiques are very accurate for that time period. But I think Lemmy now is a lot better than a month ago and a viable alternative to Reddit.

Report says Apple is working on a 20.5-inch foldable MacBook Pro that might arrive in 2025
I'm having trouble conceptualizing what this would look like. Is it a giant monitor that can also be a laptop? Aren't all laptops/notebooks by definition foldable anyway?

Paris is crawling with bedbugs. They're even riding the trains, and a ferry.

I'd like to know why the fuck Americans are traveling to Paris to go to Disneyland. We have two perfectly good Disney theme parks in the US. Why not go to France and enjoy French things??
Edit: OP is an idiot. Another commenter determined that less than 10% of visitors to Disneyland France are American.

Windows is constantly nagging you to switch to Edge when you use a non-Edge browser but apparently Nadella is totally cool with that.

Weaker subscription deals have hit indie publishers, says analyst | GamesIndustry.biz
Reply in thread
Cause a lot of indie devs are also idiots when it comes to business decisions. Many (especially solo devs) didn't get into the industry to make boatloads of money; they are often creative types who are passionate about their work.

Just to get a second set of eyes on it, that's all.
I actually highly recommend visiting the JKF Museum in Dallas (which is at the location he was shot). It was an interesting experience. It was cool to compare the pictures of the location with the present day. A lot of it is exactly the same except with thicker foliage.

What's going on at Mozilla these days?
Reply in thread
I'm willing to bet that the people who switch to Firefox for ad-blockers and ad-free YouTube aren't the kinds of people who are donating much to Mozilla. People in online forums talk a big game about wanting to pay for products and not be the product. But it seems like people don't really want to pay any meaningful amount of money for a browser.

Why lemmy.world should not defederate from beehaw.org.
Reply in thread
What's dumb is that if someone wanted to troll them they could just make an account on any number of smaller instances that they federate with. I mean, eventually they will have to be completely siloed off to prevent outside trolling.
