PSA: directfile.irs.gov is dead. Not even a "we're closed" message with alternatives. Instead of going back to Turbotax or H&R Block, use freetaxusa.com. Ridiculous name, legitimate business. Federal filing is free. State is $16. Happily using it for the last 5 years. No referral code, just spreading the word.

@jeromechoo Do you know how they make money? Or even keep the lights on?

@Byte state filing is $16, varying levels of paid support, and no requirement to grow into a public capitalist monstrosity like Intuit.

@Byte @jeromechoo They charge for other stuff. Down the page a bit it says:
"If it's free, how do you make money?
We make money from our state tax return and other optional services. You receive excellent value for every dollar spent."
P.S. Never used them, first time hearing about them.

@jeromechoo I'll second that recommendation. Used TurboTax for years grudgingly, then H&R for a couple, and FreeTaxUSA for the most recent 4 or 5 with bacially no complaints.
I do think some of their info/help text for certain sections used to be pretty sparse, but I've def noticed it be improved in the past year or two.

Recommend also 1040.com
Don't recommend FileYourTaxes.com, as they couldn't deal with my name change.

@gcobbum @jeromechoo Seconded. Used them last year and it was a breeze.

@jeromechoo I used FreeTaxUSA for about three years and loved it. Then they asked me to consent to letting them train an LLM on my tax forms. So much for that.

Gli effetti politici dell'algoritmo di feed di X
Il passaggio da un feed cronologico a uno algoritmico ha aumentato il coinvolgimento e ha spostato l'opinione politica verso posizioni più conservatrici, in particolare per quanto riguarda le priorità politiche, la percezione delle indagini penali su Donald Trump e le opinioni sulla guerra in Ucraina.
Abbiamo scoperto che l'algoritmo promuove contenuti conservatori e declassa i post dei media tradizionali. L'esposizione a contenuti algoritmici porta gli utenti a seguire account di attivisti politici conservatori, che continuano a seguire anche dopo aver disattivato l'algoritmo,
