Still can't believe this stupid liar became governor

Here in Switzerland, tax law is different per canton. So for our ~9 million people we have 26 tax laws! We pay taxes on three levels, communal, cantonal and federal taxes. And who collects which part depends on your canton. In mine the commune collects the communal and the cantonal part, and the canton collects the federal part. Yeah... it makes no sense to me either.

Though regarding the filing that part is not so bad;you only make one tax declaration from which the taxes on all three levels are calculated. And as far as I'm aware each canton offers a free software application for filing. The filings are a little complicated compared to some European neighbours from what I hear. For instance we aren't source taxed directly out of our pay-checks, so we have to list our earnings and possessions manually and list various deductions.

Still, from what I gather we have it a little better than the US Americans

Since you mention states and the site mentions federal taxes and the IRS, I assume this is for the tax system of the USA, it's funny that it isn't stated anywhere though.

Well I'm curious to find out what discovery will show.

If the Republican administration wanted to win a trade war against China they could have really used some allies, to make sure they had equivalent size as a bloc. However they preferred to start a trade war with 182 fronts at once.

Oh look it's the guy who promoted his pillows at 14.88 USD and various other dogwhistle prices.

I hope he dies in his self inflicted poverty. And preferably soon.

I recently went through that dongle buying experience. Having to get the correct DAC and amplifier chipset so the sound won't be too low is annoying. For the record I ended up going with one that has the CX31993 DAC and the MAX97220 amplifier, it doesn't have a real name so I'll just give a link: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008755907868.html. It is a bit louder than my first impulsive buy, but I haven't tested the microphone yet.

This gives me the same vibes as the fucking New York Times annoying me with the popover prompt to use their app every day. The app to read websites on phones already exists, it's called a browser, and I'm using it. Asking a hundred more times won't change my mind.

I even opened a support case which only resulted in them "passing on the suggestion".

Looks okay to me. Not sure how important the last two are to be honest, but I included them for completeness

The marketing statements on the website say the right things too, but they are secondary to the above, obviously:

Openness

OpenCloud is and remains open source software. This means that you can download and use the source code free of charge and without obligation. We welcome and encourage any kind of participation in the work on OpenCloud in the spirit of open source collaboration.

OpenCloud GmbH also offers paid builds of OpenCloud for use in environments where support, professional services and other services are required.

Who are we?

OpenCloud GmbH is a young company founded under the umbrella of the Heinlein Group and employs a team of developers who are familiar with the project code.

The combination of the Heinlein Group's many years of experience in the open source business and the unwavering enthusiasm of the developers, most of whom have many years of open source experience, provides the perfect foundation for an active project. And we warmly invite everyone to join us!

The foundation

The basis of the project is a fork of a widely used open source project whose components are co-developed by developers from the science organization CERN and other active participants. OpenCloud is now being continuously developed independently by the OpenCloud community and published under the Apache 2.0 and AGPL-3.0 licenses.

In the spirit of reusability of code under free licenses, we are grateful for the strong foundation on which we are building.

Easy, just ship it to all the American refineries that must have sprung up by now thanks to the tariffs.

Of course I realise they haven't, and they wont. It's no wonder because the trade policy this republican administration is enacting is neither thoughtful, now well planned, nor precise, nor trustworthy, nor supported by subsidies or other circumstances that make the establishment of local production likely.

I googled for fox news screenshots, but can't find any with ticker... I'm confused, where is it usually?

Edit: Found a clip, unfortunately with Trump onscreen here
