Actually, the standard deduction doesn’t mean people can’t itemize, it means it doesn’t make financial sense to itemize. Itemizing is worse for them. If they want to itemize, they’re still allowed to.

… At least that’s what TurboTax and the other FreeFile program I used claimed.

Mixtral 8x7B, just out. Codes better than ChatGPT in the few prompts I’ve done so far, and I can run it at 2 to 3 tokens per second on my GPU-less laptop.

I was being diplomatic because I was uncertain how people felt about the issue and PR tracking, considering how Bitbucket and GitLab replicate it. Felt simpler to focus on the since-M$ft egregious steps.

Git is a program your computer runs to have a single folder have source control. It does all the hashing and commit chaining that you’re used to, branches, that sort of thing.

But if you want it to be on more than one computer, you need to do this complicated “Bare” repository setup on a server computer to do the “git push” stuff you’re used to.

Most people, being too lazy to learn bare repositories and the general sysadmin necessary to host a git server themselves, instead just use Microsoft’s Github which is a web interface for the server use of git the program.

Microsoft then proceeded with their classic mantra of “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” and started slapping on more and more features that are incompatible with any other git hosting service: actions, CI, their web VSCode instances, etc. That’s all in GitHub too. But it’s all just web interface for git the open source program, at the end of the day.

I literally don’t even install it on Linux because the screen share works more often through Firefox than through their native app. That doesn’t mean it works consistently, and there’s never any sound, but at least I can sometimes make it work in the Firefox webapp. The native app is worthless.
