    Every couple months I learn of another way the us government interacts with ‘undocumented’ migrants. I find it supremely silly that these people have identification numbers, pay taxes, are counted for the census and participate in elections but they’re still referred to as ‘undocumented’?? They clearly are documented, wtf does ‘undocumented’ mean then?

    How is the government getting taxes from people it doesn’t know exist?? I thought you had to file your taxes yourself in America, why or how would the migrants even do that? Or if the employer is doing that, who do they say they are doing it for??





  • “Can’t live without” is an overstatement, but here are mine:

    • Kvaesitso, search focused android launcher. I used to really like nova launcher’s local search and navigated my phone mostly using that. But once gensture navigation became a thing I had to stop using nova and replicate the experience in Samsung launcher with various local search apps that were lacking in comparison. Tried to go back a couple times once gestures with 3rd party launchers got better but found my old setup still too ugly and sluggish to go back to. Recently I randomly came across Kvaesitso on fdroid and it was everything I ever wanted out of a launcher.

    • Amberol music player. Not the ideal music player I’d like but at least it’s not Elisa.

    • Kid3, audio file tag editor. It has much better workflow/automation than mp3tag that I used in windows, and it seems if you spend some effort on it you could add more automation to make it even better.



  • It’s a button to manage your Microsoft account that you signed into windows with. It’s not shocking that it has an option to upgrade said account

    Edit:

    1. I don’t use windows, stop assuming things about me
    2. Everything you don’t like or don’t use isn’t an ad. This is no different than Gmail and Google chrome having Google drive integration.
    3. Microsoft has been forcing people to use online accounts for windows login, so it’s only natural for the account button to let you manage it as well.
    4. This isn’t an endorsement or a value judgement.

    That site has a weird lack of x3d cpus… Top 3 tiers should have 7800x3d, next 2 7600x3d / 5800x3d, next 3 5700x3d as alternatives.

    Also it would serve them well to separate higher tiers to gaming / workstation and recommend parts based on that. Otherwise they end up recommending 7950x3d at the highest tier despite it not being the best at anything

    It’s really hard to follow your train of thought. Bluetooth isn’t a piece of metal in your phone. It uses the same antenna your phone needs for its other wireless connections and it’s also driven by the same modem. Compared to an audio jack its impact is miniscule. The demand for Bluetooth wasn’t created in 2016, it predates smartphones. There were countless wireless earphones before 2016 and they mostly weren’t even made by phone companies. Apple removing the headphone jack wasn’t ‘false advertising’, it was very well publicised.

    Yes, phone companies removed the headphone jack from their phones to drive the sales of their own earphones. Yes, Google collects lots of data about you. But interpolating these to “Google wanted people to keep Bluetooth on for its spy network” is a far fetched conspiracy
