Well just hold on there a minute, if they raise interest or charge higher fees on things that doesn’t disproportionately negatively impact poor people then it might be less predatory… And we can’t have that, we gotta keep punching those that can’t hit back.

LLM AIs think any sentence that starts with who what where when, why or how is a question.

I think what’s funnier about this is that most home assistant users make purchasing choices based on support in home assistant. So anyone that bought one of their units and used it in home assistant would have just bought something else without the support in home assistant being there.

As a result I would think they actually made more money from having that plugin existing.

I think the issue here is more that interacting with certain companies or services is unavoidable. As an Android user I often will have to interact with iPhone users and the impact of their vendor lock-in techniques is that the experience of those interactions is worse on both sides.

I can’t convince every person to stop using an iPhone, or even just just a different messaging app, most people can’t even agree what to have for dinner…

So users that take it upon themselves to try and improve the experience by trying things like beeper or beeper mini are actually trying to help others maintain their choices and preferences without the degraded experience.

So sometimes a person voting with their dollars isn’t enough, since it’s others choices that still have an impact

Won’t be long until my ai model can produce it’s very own Linux distro complete with 7 fingered keyboard layouts

https://www.androidpolice.com/install-add-on-extension-mozilla-firefox-android/

The option to install any extension has always been possible it’s just a tad more work to get setup.

I did this ages ago, I just add the extensions I want to the list and then they appear to let me install them

I feel like hourly with a fixed sale bonus would be fine for buyers.

$50/h at the location (maybe a travel fee for places far away from their normal location), and $5000 for a successfully closed deal. All buyer paid, that would mean that the realtor gets paid for work done, and but the closing bonus means that they don’t have as much of an incentive to keep taking the customers to crappy places to keep the hourly going.

Selling Realtors should really negotiate a fixed figure and a bonus that goes down the longer it takes to sell, this could encourage them to suggest lower prices on homes I guess, but it’s ultimately the owners decision to pick a price and the Realtors choice if it’s worth the effort to sell at that price

You pay property tax because of the services that are provided to you by the municipality. Garbage collection, streets, parks, schools, libraries, public services, social programs, public events, etc.

While I understand the idea your going for here the intent of those taxes aren’t the same and the businesses that they are interested in would pay some form of tax (probably?).

I think something like a gross wealth tax, 10% of all wealth a year over over something like the poverty line * 100 in total assets

This doesn’t make a lot of sense in context, sure Texas has twice the land of Germany, but Germany has 2.5 times the population of Texas.

Though I agree Texas is likely not representative of all the USA.

You can write off an electric car in the same way you can write off a jet. It’s a company expense and required to perform your role in that company.

See the following steps to write anything at all off, note poor people may not have the prerequisite assets to make buying more assets tax free.

Step 1, create marketing company Step 2, assign income to that company from your other companies (you do have other companies right?) Step 3, do fun shit with stuff you bought Step 4 have accountant write it all off as marketing delivery expenses and client schmoozing.

Dennis, are we going to hurt these girls?

I don’t know how slow the old one was, but if I send myself an SMS using the bridge it completes a round trip to the Telco and back in about 1 second

Have you tried the new SMS bridge that relies on gmessages?

https://github.com/mautrix/gmessages

If you have an Android phone you can use the Google SMS app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging

Then you pair the app and bridge. It’s been pretty reliable since I started using this bridge, especially when compared to the previous bridge options.

I have a FreePBX virtual machine hosted at home. I use VoIP.ms which covers most North American numbers and many numbers abroad. I use it to provide phone service to my parents house and cottage and my house and cottage. I put in about $40 a year to cover all these places with their own DID number.

Might I suggest Fast Reverse Proxy ( https://github.com/fatedier/frp )

It’s a great solution if you don’t have a public IP or can’t/don’t want to open any ports.

I found it super easy to setup and configure. I put caddy in front of the server side for mine to ssl offload there. But you could also route everything down the tunnel it makes and use a local reverse proxy to handle SSL offloading

I actually just stayed using kiwi browser since it’s a chromium fork that supports plugins on Android. Ublock and some other choice extensions are going pretty well for me so far

I also use .lan I used to use .local for years until I started to have conflict issues with .local resolution on Android when they started using mdns
