It's Shitty Saturday, what are we doing?

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@MurrayWindripper it's grey outside here and I've been putting these shitty tasks off for too long. 🥲

[rdnt@hachyderm.io]

@Gina I dont see coffee or tea I hope they are a given

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@rdnt Oh believe me, I'm caffeinated.

[rriemann@chaos.social]

@Gina citizen duties first 🤭, but then do something fun! Painting white on pink seems not fun. Read something uplifting like https://hpmor.com !

[fenixmaster@mastodon.social]

@Gina Had (hint) al vorige week ingeleverd... Zit nu aan de koffie, dus je had een voorspellende gave. Alleen de plek is niet mijn keuken maar mijn hobbyruimte. (Laat mijn vrouw het niet horen).

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@rriemann Indeed, the Stanford Prison Experiment does sound more fun than painting walls.

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@fenixmaster Als in, je gaat je hobbyruimte verven? Ik wil ook een hobby ruimte

[fenixmaster@mastodon.social]

@Gina Het is het kantoor van mijn vrouw, maar we zijn beiden met pensioen, dus ik noem haar kantoor mijn hobbyruimte. Dat geeft nog wel eens wrijving.

[sybren@fosstodon.org]

@Gina upgrading my MeshCore devices!

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@sybren That actually sounds fun.

[not_a_label@toot.lgbt]

@Gina sadly I have to be on it as I'm apparently important and would be missed... ‍️

[falkheiland@fosstodon.org]

@Gina "Belastingdienst" is one of those (for a German) funny dutch words.

[daniel_bohrer@chaos.social]

@falkheiland @Gina I think it's very fitting. A German would probably say it's very "belastend" (burdensome) to declare their taxes

[gina@fosstodon.org]

Jup, the worst.

[gina@fosstodon.org]

My 2 braincells versus sentences like "Was the corrected value more than 10% greater than the value in economic circulation of this property on 01-01-2024? [?]"

[gina@fosstodon.org]

I have 2 masters degrees and I can confidently say that I'm too dumb for this.

@belastingdienst why are you like this?

[daniel_bohrer@chaos.social]

@Gina it's not you, it's the system

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@daniel_bohrer And I'm like the easiest case there is. No kids, no partner, no business. I don't know how people do their taxes themselves.

[mndell@mastodon.social]

@Gina @belastingdienst let AI reason the favorable outcome?

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@Mndell @belastingdienst Ah we have great experience with letting algorithms assess people's taxes in the Netherlands.

Dutch scandal serves as a warning for Europe over risks of using algorithms

The Dutch tax authority ruined thousands of lives after using an algorithm to spot suspected benefits fraud — and critics say there is little stopping it from happening again.
