NixOS is surprisingly easy to use
That’s an interesting idea, but the problem with UIs is you need some kind of a format to interact with all of the toolkits and legacy programs just to be able to figure out where on the screen the button you need to click is
I’m in my browser, but I’d like to not be in my browser anymore (open something else). The shortcut straight up doesn’t work sometimes and that’s embarrassing
In my experience, KDE has too many features that are buggy and don’t work. Like hiding the task bar automatically will break the search shortcut because the search is attached to the task bar, so it won’t come up unless you mouse over the task bar
Gnome has no features, yet it’s buggy and doesn’t work. You alt tab out of a Wine game and it will think the alt button is constantly pressed down when you tab back in.
Choose your poison
Who said I don’t understand them? I’ve done point and click tutorials. They don’t only take forever to follow, they also take forever to make.
Look at this monstrosity:
Holy shit, the copy and paste parts are the easiest parts of them all
Thrusting in an unfamiliar environment is how I got an STD
But that’s several pages of point and click vs. a few lines to copy and paste,
There were companies that didn’t survive the dot com crash despite being worth billions. Amazon is a company you would recognize, even though a better company is pets.com
If you bought their stock you would be very rich for a very short while until it went bankrupt
Did I say zero revenue? I said didn’t make a profit. Lots of companies made money, but couldn’t make more money than they spent. You can easily have an investment that is valued high that you can’t cash out
Let’s say you bought some stock now, at the end of the year it’s worth $1,000,000 and you get charged $150,000 in April. Big problem, the brokerages stopped allowing you to sell the stock and it crashed down, so now your GameStop stock is worth $100,000
How do you pay?
Amazon had its first profitable year in 2003. It was worth 21 billion dollars.
Let’s say I give $100,000 to a friend that starts a start-up. You claim after some years that investment is worth $1,000,000 and want me to pay $150,000 tax
I take out a loan for $150,000 because the startup didn’t make any profit. The startup goes bust. I now have a $100,000 loss and I paid $150,000 in taxes. Thankfully I can write $3000 off on my taxes every year until I die!
The part where it’s compiled is what makes it have no dependencies to actually execute
I’m saying you can’t pay with paper money, you must pay with real money for everything.
I’m not against considering loans against unrealized assets as realization (with stepped up basis) since the person taking out said loan can use it to pay said tax.
I installed it when it finally had an installer and I’ve been using it for a couple of years. I think that was the final thing to push it into mainstream (of Linux distros, widely known in narrow circles so to speak)
But then I’d have to take out loans to pay my taxes which is absurd. I’ll have to pay taxes on money that I don’t physically have
Can I pay my rent with unrealized capital gains?
It’s not actually higher:
https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/latest-federal-income-tax-data-2024/
Top 1% pay 25.9% of their income to taxes, bottom 50% pay 3.3%
I forgot the most obvious example:
If you bought a house for $200,000 and when you retire it’s worth $1,000,000 the government shouldn’t demand you pay a percentage of your “gain” for the rest of your life or until you are forced to sell it.
