Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Open Source@lemmy.ml•IRS Makes Direct File Software Open Source After Trump Tried to Kill It33·1 month agoBecause TurboTax lobbied to change the narrative to “we already have private market solutions for tax, therefore the government hosting a no-cost option is actually wasteful and bad for the budget”
Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•ICE illegally gains informal access to nationwide license plate camera networkEnglish29·1 month agoThere’s a crowd-sourced effort to catalogue these cameras on OSM.
Maybe German is their first language?
edit: on second thought I don’t think so. While German commas applied to English are awkward, they usually still provide a logical flow of ideas. That’s not the case here.
The problem is that it’s a blanket ban (plus retroactive firing) of all trans people serving in the military, not just an asterisk on serving combat roles.
Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•Common household plastics linked to thousands of global deaths from heart disease, study findsEnglish12·2 months agoWhile it’s true that there’s no escaping it entirely, reducing your average daily intake through means you can control is generally worthwhile, especially if there are some easy options available to you personally. It’s the same with lots of unhealthy things in life; it’s not all or nothing, it’s a spectrum of risk.
You always think you remember how to center a div until you try to do it again after a few years

Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto LinkedinLunatics@sh.itjust.works•Did you even say 'thank you'?131·3 months agoThe more you beg for the job, the more it signals to a prospective employer that you need it and don’t have alternatives. That means they can string you out much easier.
Desperation facilitates exploitation.

Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?5·3 months agoHey I don’t disagree with your points but just wanted to mention that El Salvador is in North America (in a sub-region known as Central America)
edit: unless there are additional South American facilities they’ve been building that I’m unaware of
Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Tariff Fallout: Mine Owner Blames China’s Actions, Not Trump’s, for ShutdownEnglish5·3 months agoThat makes sense, thank you
Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Tariff Fallout: Mine Owner Blames China’s Actions, Not Trump’s, for ShutdownEnglish7·3 months agoReally confused at the business owner saying his company is paying the tariffs. Did they get into a contract with a clause that makes the exporter bear the tariffs+fees to the destination country?? More likely I’m guessing that the buyer just sent a call saying the deal is off or had a strict price limit, but if it’s the former case that’s some remarkable business sense and foresight 🤦♀️
(I suppose it’s also possible that China’s tariff policy works a little differently. I’m not an expert on the subject)
Carpal tunnel from playing path of exile, obviously 🙄
Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?3·3 months agoOn the corollary, someone’s feelings can be a very important factor in addressing a situation. If you are to operate purely on logic, that logic needs to take into account the psychology and feelings of others when making a decision to maximize your intended effect. Doing something that “needs to be done” but pissing everyone else off in the process might lead them to undo your work purely out of spite, even if you were correct in your initial assessment.
Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?32·3 months agoOnce a business enterprise reaches a size where it can afford to influence government policy to benefit said enterprise at the expense of its competitors, it’s in that business’ best interest to do so. A business which plays by the rules and behaves ethically will be usurped by one that’s willing to bend the rules into its favor.
Once things reach this point, the line between government and corporation blurs, and you get a state that will prioritize private gains of its corporate lobbies and bribes instead of the gains of its people and the health of society as a whole.
Therefore, ruthless and totalitarian antitrust of private enterprise must be incorporated to ensure a fair market with competition and choice can flourish, should you wish to go that route. Your business makes up so much as 1% of your industry’s domestic output? That business needs to be broken up into like 4 pieces.

In my experience, you find out BONTO! had a security breach via an Ars Technica article published around 4 months after the fact because the data was found on the dark web. Zero correspondence from the company itself except in rare circumstances
