If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes?

The technological race among industry giants and the wave of layoffs they have announced has revived the debate about the advisability of taxing automation

This is certainly no shock, but the extent to which Apple makes its native apps (Mail, Calendar, Reminders, etc) an absolute pain to work with non-iCloud services is just amazing. Like, perfect work on the lock-in, A+, no notes.

I think Microsoft is trying to out do Apple on this... And they might be winning? It honestly depends on the day and how pissed off I'm with tech.

@ysotomayor No doubt. Microsoft's apps don't even work with their own services. I just went through my yearly futile effort to consolidate all my work task-management in the products available to our MS365 account and it's a nightmare. Like 4 or 5 different slightly interoperable task/planning systems.

It’s self-explanatory, you can add tasks in outlook, but not that outlook, and sync them with Teams, but not that teams. They will appear on your Teams tab on your Teams, but only if you have Teams classic. Alternatively, you can use Microsoft todo, which mostly sync with outlook, but not outlook. And if you forget, they will pop up 4 years later out of the blue. Simple.

@ysotomayor Oh no, my department loves Planner, which you can only view on the web, or in a Teams window, and none of those tasks appear in Outlook, unless you add them to My Day—sometimes.

I think the team that build planner is drinking heavily on a daily bases. Gods, it’s almost like Microsoft doesn't use their own apps.

India temporarily put aside its cricket obsession and slipped into a “Messi-mania” as Argentine eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi embarked on an eventful four-city tour of the country. japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/1… #soccer #lionelmessi #india

Chaos in Kolkata, confetti in Delhi: Messi wraps up eventful India tour

The hype around Messi's visit was a contrast to the general sense of gloom around the state of Indian football.

If you yawn in direction of the abyss, sometimes the abyss yawn back at you.

This is because my Void loudly yawned at me, and I decided to make it a yawn-off.
I didn't win but damn if I'm tired now.
