The IRS said Friday that it has recovered $1.3 billion in unpaid taxes from high-income Americans who had either failed to file their returns or who hadn't fully paid what they owed.

$1.3B, just a tiny piece. We know it's a few hundred times bigger.

Some wisdom from a Japanese gamer. As a designer I thought about it in the context of UX. But, really, it can be applied to most any challenge in life.

oh I see! Thanks a lot for explaining! I’ve seen this image a few times already and I’ve always been puzzled what the difference is supposed to be.

15-year-old shot and killed in #Maryland high school bathroom, 16-year-old student in custody

The suspect was apprehended "within minutes," the sheriff said. #GunViolence

in reply to Laffy

Given the shooter is described as a suspect and was apprehended alive, there is no need to specify that they are white.

This is the stupidest bs ever.
Anytime. Anywhere.


NixOS - Beginner Resources for Flakes


Hi all! I'm trying to learn more about NixOS and wondering if anyone had an material they'd recommend that was Flake centric?

I'm planning to test drive NixOS on a secondary laptop as a learning opportunity- not planning on using it as a daily driver at this time, so I'm not too concerned about the learning curve; I realize it'll be a bumpy and steep road!

I did want to give a shout-out to @LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world and everyone who replied in the NixOS beginner resources thread! Tons of good content shared there that I'm still working my way through.

in reply to Uncurious3512

I am new to nixos too. As for flakes, it is little complicated at least for me. Vimjoyer video helped me understand little about flake. Here the link
You can go through his nixos series.
And there another YouTuber librephoenix. He has good learning material too. Here is link youtube.com/channel/UCeZyoDTk0…

Thanks for sharing! I've been watching some of Vimjoyer's stuff and it is very helpful! I'll be sure to add librephoenix to the list!


We recently posted a profile of @EastCarolina's experience walking away from a big deal w/ Elsevier. Communication & transparency were key in the shift by the @joynerlibrary to more affordable, sustainable publishing options for its campus.
