No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

There's a lot of gray area in software development. Depending on a lot of variables, you MAY be "providing a service" to do custom work, or you MAY be "exporting intangible goods" (software).
So it's a huge maybe. A lot of it depends on how the tariff rules are written and put into effect.
The rules can get VERY complex. The U.S. has a variety of offices related to different aspects of international trade. For example, the Office of the U.S Trade Representative reports directly to the president and is responsible for advising on trade. The International Trade Administration is (a bureau within the U.S. Department of Commerce) works to ensure American businesses have access the global markets without unfair foreign government business practices. And that doesn't even get into the U.S. Department of State's international interests, or private lobbyists such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
There will be no easy answers. Even when rules come out, the various agencies will take weeks or months to figure out how to interpret and enact the rules. Sometimes, clear sounding things end up having a ton of nuance. If anyone offers you an easy answer, don't listen to them.

Ah thank you, I appreciate your answer. I guess what you're saying is that I'll have to wait and see how it turns out?
Yup. That's the short answer. I hope the context made it easier to understand why.
That makes sense. I guess it'll be good to have my resume up to date just in case 😅
