Yup and a significant portion of those ads are definatly not school appropriate... From the mobile game ads that show a mostly naked lady, alcohol, soft-porn (chatbot type stuff), jump scares and whatever other crap google exempts from their "guidelines" for a quick buck.

The only (official) way to have all kid firendly ads is to use YouTube Kids, which also blocks all the usefull educational videos for anyone older than 4.

Funny thing is, in a way our employers already do our taxes, they send everything to the IRS. We just have to manually input the same data into forms to send to the IRS. If you get it wrong they'll know and can fine you. That being said, individuals filing their own taxes does have its place, people have multiple jobs, children, houses, debt, bank intrest earned etc. An employeer should't have to keep track of all that. The individual should just be able to collect all the approiate forms and send them in, not have to transfer info from form w4 to form 1090.

Private tax filing companies like Turbo Tax have heavily lobbied with ~~campaign contributions~~ bribes.

Any attempt to fix the system was blocked. The silver linning (if you can call it that) was they had to make a free version availbe to low income individuals.

However that "free" version is completely burried and not advertised anywhere. They'd rather you use the free version of TurboTax which only free for the basic person with a job, house and maybe a kid. Anything more will cost (my info is a bit outdated and skewed, I'm not really looking at the exact service).

Then it's filled the dark patterns and scare tatics to get you to pay up every step of the way.

Welcome to land of freedom and the illusion of taxation with representation.

Local elections are still significant and will have impact on your area. These are the people allocate funds in your city - could be the difference in roads getting fixed or yet another pet project no one asked for.

Not sure about the future of WSL, but WSA (android) has been discontinued.

It's not really a suprise seeing as they partnered with Amazon for the app store, no side load support and as far as I know they didn't really mention it anywhere in the actuall OS, so few knew about it.

(Oh and when I tried it, getting it to work for just one app took way more effort than it should have)
