Assuming you've got simple taxes (you don't work for yourself, didn't pull from your retirement, etc. You'll probably know it if you have "complex" taxes) and live in the USA, Free Tax USA will let you file free federal and has the cheapest state filing I've found. They're also a fairly trustworthy company that's not owned by Intuit and their corporate allies, so that's a plus.
EDIT: Adjusted the level of trustworthiness.
Endeavor is fantastic. For all the time I ran it, I never had any of the issues that people say Arch is riddled with: updates irreparably mucking up your system, packages making a mess of things, the AUR being unstable and dangerous. I've found that most of these claims come from people who are against the way Arch does things and have never actually tried it for any extensive amount of time.
You do need to be mindful of updates being pushed to your system (read the newsletters, they will tell you if anything in the update is broken and how to fix it) and have the technical know-how of how to fix those things when they do happen... And they will happen. That's any rolling release, though.
Personally I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for gaming, it was a breeze to set up and continues to be a breeze to work with. I love every second of it. But EndeavorOS is a very close second for me.
Ugh. Signal for me, as well. I love it, it was amazing, I was getting decent adoption across my friends and family... And then they removed SMS support and all that momentum got lost. It was the one thing I could leverage to get folks on board, and now it's gone. Myself, one friend, and my father still use it despite the change. But I can't get anyone to even look at it anymore.
r/assistance is a good starting place. There is also a subreddit dedicated to gofundme campaigns, r/GoFundMe. It may also be worth contacting the mods of r/Aww and r/Cats to see if they'll allow the post. The worst they can do is say no.
The biggest thing is to make sure to carefully read the rules of any subreddit you may post on to ensure you aren't breaking any of them. If there's any ambiguity or concern, reach out to the mods with questions first.
Then you should probably say "I can't use Reddit" and explain like you did here, rather than "I won't use Reddit" and shutting down people just trying to help, which is what your previous reply amounts to. Not trying to antagonize you here, but if you are looking for help from strangers being able and willing to accurately explain your situation is important.
Now we can suggest solutions. Do you know anyone that would be willing to post to Reddit on your behalf? The only reason Reddit is coming across so strongly as a recommendation is because the website is still huge and there's a large community of people who would be willing and able to help with this situation there.
Pie.
Jokes aside, a good carrot or spice cake takes the (heh) cake.
Well, that's a very promising thing to hear for me right now, lol. Thank you!
I would add to this: any widely used among enthusiasts Android to ensure (as best as can be ensured) decent long term support.
Find a ROM you'd want to flash (GrapheneOS is a popular option for its privacy and lack of added bloat) and visit their website. View their list of supported devices, and pick one from among them that fits your bill and can be had unlocked (i.e. not bought from a carrier in some kind of subscription/payment plan) and get that.
Google Pixel phones and OnePlus phones are devices I regularly see getting the latest versions from the major OSes. Samsung devices also. I know you had bad experiences with them in the past, but the manufacturer's (lack of) continued support plays no small part in the reason you've experienced that. If they stop supporting the device 3 years from now and it starts to slow down, they might just be able to convince you to buy the new one...
I have to say my bad-to-good ratio is probably:
Pretty bad
Bad
Not good
Ok <- Neutral
Not bad
Pretty good
Good
Which I now realize is a little weird to have "ok" be neutral, with not bad/good on either side of it.
I've never given it more than a few minutes at a time, but I didn't like it as compared to my 3rd party clients. Those are dead now, so... I just don't browse Reddit. 🤷♂️
Indeed. I find the inverse to be true. It's getting harder and harder to browse Reddit without being logged in, but Lemmy is no problem.
Better than Intuit, at any rate. FTUSA have never let me get all the way through my taxes before springing on me that I need to buy their extra services, despite the fact that their free edition is supposed to cover the thing, then you find out that their widely available "free edition" is designed to route you to their paid services and that the actually free free edition is located on a totally different website and... Yeah, looking at you, TurboTax.
