That’s how I suppose it works in every country.

The thing is that many people have other sources of income that are not paychecks. Thus why most people need to do this yearly declarations. But it is true that in any modern country this declarations are pre-made by tax agencies and it’s easier to fill.

And there’s also deductions. In many countries people can get tax deductions by many reasons and in most places you need to manually ask for them and fill the requirements.

Here for instance we can deduct money paid to Unions from our taxes. As political and syndicate afiliation is protected by law those payments are not automatically reported to the tax agency so if you paid them you have to manually fill the tax return.

This is just right. Massive amounts of corporations have a complete dependency on Microsoft Office. In a way that cannot be substituted by Libreoffice or similar.

Change need to happen. But there need to be a viable alternative before it.

House in the middle of the woods, with internet connection. It’s the weird eremite techno wizard life for me.

I mean every historical source is full of one sided propaganda.

Have you ever heard the phrase “history is written by winners”?

What have keep history alive is not Wikipedia. Is the fact that multiple people from multiple POV write things down and we can find and read multiple sources.

Don’t get me wrong, Wikipedia is great, but it’s not what keeps history more or less accurate. Take into account that Wikipedia is a sum up of other sources. In order to write to Wikipedia you must quote a primary source.

And AI really doesn’t have much to do with anything here. Bad sources have existed forever, since Herodotus.

I have rode the bike I had when I was a kid several decades ago. The tires themselves were good just had to change the air chambers.

Maybe they were not good for profesional cycling but for moving around I didn’t notice anything wrong with them.

I think is promoted by hispasat. But I don’t know if they use their satellites or they hire others.

You can download a collection of thousands (maybe a million I don’t even know) of books in Spanish in epub format, from the “secret library”. It’s like a 100Gb torrent, but way worth it.

Ebooks tens to have long lasting battery. I spent a few hours reading on monday.

Just now I’m on my phone, but if you are interested let me know and I’ll try to find the link and will mp it to you if you want.

And just now I’ve been thinking that epubs being so small size maybe there’s a way to transmit them over this radio mesh networks on demand, like some sort of radio library. I’ve have to look into that. Maybe they are too big for that as radio bandwidth for data transfer tends to be incredibly small.

Just in case you ever met someone who lives in a place with no cable internet (strange case in Spain as we have great coverage). Just let them know that in Spain they fund satellite internet that is not owned by elon musk. Is slower but way cheaper specially because the government funds a part of it afaik.

I started to use firefox back in 2007.

I have never changed back. If someday there’s a better alternative I’d switch. But sure thing that chromium based browsers are not an alternative.

Bikes are the apocalypse ideal vehicle. They are immensely underrated on apocalyptic media.

Fuel I need to constantly scavenger? No thanks.

Noise that would attract the zombies? No thanks.

The highway is collapsed and my RV cannot go through? No thanks.

A bike would get you quite good through many apocalyptic scenarios.

“La casa de las carcasas”. All Spaniards know it.

Thanks!

Sometimes I have issues spelling these similar looking English words.

What are you implying is the strawman?

The millions of honest and dishonest poor and rich people that prove that morals are not related to money? Or the statically significant lemmings that agree with “all poor are good because they are poor” ?

According to Lemmy poor people who have done not harm to others have the same morals that poor people that hurt others.

I personally know a homeless person that have never steal or hurt. And several poor people with homes but small income that have stab and stolen other people, probably justifying their shit behavior in being poor.

According to some out of touch lemmings those two people are morally equivalent.

Being poor doesn’t justify being a shit person. And defending that is insulting to honest and moral poor people.

According to Lemmy all poor people are good.

Tell that to Juan, the homeless I personally know that has not done anything bad, and have been always an angel. He had never hurt or steal anyone and he doesn’t even have a roof over his head.

But according to Lemmy shitheads that kill, steal and rape have the same moral merit as Juan because they are not rich.

People is bad or good. Money don’t have that much factor in that. It only changes the type of “bad things” you do, but bad people will do bad things and good people will do good things.

Don’t fall for the sentient sentiment that all poor are good and all rich are bad, or that all rich are good and all poor are bad. Because that doesn’t correlate with really.

Yes, maybe a poor bad fella will stab you, while a bad rich guy will deny your medical insurance. They both are taking your life, different approaches to evilness due different disposable income available to do evil shit.

Duck tape it. Because every single product have decided that blinding blue leds is the way to go.

I miss my dim red leds.

We already have power in my city. I think most of Spain is already up. But some cities still down, I think Madrid is still having issues as I have not been able to contact people from there.

Cause still unknown.

In Spain.

Not at all. Law is ridiculous and judges are even more ridiculous.

Why would they? Getting inspiration or doing something similar to something that already exist is not illegal. And it shouldn’t be. All art is derivative, and that’s ok.
