Internet Access Tax May Not Be Dead

Thought you were free from paying new taxes on your Internet access, at least for the next four years? The Internet Tax Non-Discrimination Act was supposed to put a moratorium on new Net taxes. That, however, hasn't stopped some in Washington from suggesting that old taxes might be applied in new ways.
In the report released in January, the Joint Committee on Taxation proposes that Congress take one of three actions to expand the tax to the Net. The most significant would expand the tax to all communications services to end users. That means Congress could add a 3 percent tax to the following:
- Voice over IP communications
- analog and digital cellular and satellite telephone services
- cable and satellite television services
- broadband and dial-up Net access services
- paging services
- bandwidth, provided as a service, lease, or sale of fiber optic cable

| Looks Like Fedora 34 Workstation Will Ship with the GNOME 40 Desktop by Default
The Fedora development team decided not to break protocol and continue following the latest upstream GNOME releases for its next major release, Fedora 34. As you probably know already, Canonical recently revealed that its upcoming Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo) distro release won’t ship with GNOME 40 due its major UI redesign.
This won’t happen with Fedora Linux, as it looks like the upcoming Fedora Linux 34 release will offer a pure GNOME 40 desktop experience on its flagship ‘Workstation’ edition. As GNOME 40 is built using the latest GTK 4 toolkit, that will be included as well in Fedora 34, due for release in late April 2021.
