Hollowing out the tax-base? Of what? Billionaires who have turned tax evasion into a sports championship?

In most places in the world, tax is primarily paid by the working people, not by the rich.

Which obviously leaves them with to much money that they squander on anti-citizen political campaigns like this. When they have the money for bribery on that level, they have the money to pax taxes like everyone else.

Yes, I've seen the "fact sheets" from Fox "News". Probably the best advertising he had.

Don't worry. This will take some time to build, and will be ready just in time when you got those right-wing insurrectionists kicked out. And as much as they like their idea of Alligator Auschwitz, Trump and his cronies can stay there as long as humanity needs to be safe from them, which is probably means you'll have to refresh the alligator supply a few times - they only live 30-50 years.

Alabama Senator: “These inner-city rats, they live off the federal government. That’s one reason we are $37 trillion in debt" in c/politics@lemmy.world

Hmm, Alabama... Lets have a look at State contributions to the budget.

Looks like actually Alabama is a rat living on other states' taxpayers!

If ZOHRAN THE DESTROYER actually destroys the GOP, I won't complain. If he needs to stomp the current DEMs into the ground for that, well, that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

That's the point. Blam it right into their faces to see who cock-blocks them.

Calling this a "Tsunami" is a bit thick.

Biologically, cheese. It slows down your intestines. Just follow your stomach, then.

Yep. Wonderfully falling. And still trade deficits, despite the tariffs.

So, keep up geoblocking the Idiot State, with a page listing all those politicians and judges who caused this.

How many PhDs does the world need? Doctoral graduates vastly outnumber jobs in academia in c/world@lemmy.world

You might notice that not all PhDs work in academic environments. Actually most of them work in businesses.

Newest Shennigans from YouTube (lemmy.world)
 

I don't have a YouTube login on purpose. After having had issues with some random videos asking me to login to confirm my age (no porn or anything, seems to be random harrasment), I now get "log in to prove that you are not a bot" (rough translation).

Geschichte wiederholt sich (lemmy.world)
 

  1. Januar 1933: Paul von Hindenburg: "Wenn er erst mal Reichskanzler ist, haben wir ihn unter Kontrolle"

  2. Januar 2025: Friedrich Merz: "Wir werden nächste Woche in den Deutschen Bundestag Anträge einbringen, die ausschließlich unserer Überzeugung entsprechen. [...] Und wir werden sie einbringen, unabhängig davon, wer ihnen zustimmt."

Extracting Data from Stud.io 2.0 (lemmy.world)
 

My problem: I want to create an inventory of my parts. For that I need data I could look up on BL. Sadly, my storage has no internet whatsoever, so I need an offline solution.

I have found the LDRAW library inside the Studio installation, which gives me the parts and their design. They contain the name of the part, too, but only as a comment, and I have yet to verify if this is consistent. I think I could rig a software that renders me the picture as I need it for my application, so that's that.

But there are other files inside the Studio installation, and I wonder if there is a way to find the following information from this:

  • BL Category (Like "Brick" or "Plate Modified")
  • LEGO part numbers and colors that exists for a certain design
  • Parts Weight

I don't need any rapidly changing data like price or availability.

Has anyone here done this, or knows a software that does this?

Wrote my first longer Python program (lemmy.world)
 

Sounds easy? Well, it should have been. I'm not talking about a "Hello, World!" (although it is more or less on the same level for me). The goal was to write a set of three MQTT clients that properly talk with each other and interact nicely.

So I had to learn Python and MQTT on the same day. Should not be an issue after 40 years of programming. But it quickly turned out that the Python library/package for MQTT on Ubuntu was heavily outdated (1.6), and did not supply all the functions the documentation and examples (2.0) asked for. Using pip3 didn't work, as it complained that the package structure was maintained by the OS. In the end, I had to virtualize the python3 system and pip3 the 2.0 package there and run it.

After about three hours, I had the clients working as they should. Yes, I think MQTT is a good base for the next project.

Anyone else thinking that the new Eldorado Fortress is too expensive? (lemmy.world)
 

The new Eldorado Fortress is listed at €214.99. Is it just me, or is this set much to expensive for what it is? When I saw it, I thought "Maybe €150, €170 tops", and was shocked when I heard the real price.

I know (who doesn't?) that LEGO is not cheap, but this is not a Starwars set, it is 100% their own IP.
