I see BlueSky as different than Lemmy. In my mind, Twitter = BlueSky and Mastodon and Reddit = Lemmy and Kbin (if that’s even still around).

They took crypto bros VC money.

Do we really think they’ll allow mass federation without getting returns on their investment?

On principle, personally. I was done with Reddit after the API shit.

My issue with BS is it took VC money from crypto bros.

What do we think will happen when they come looking for their returns on investment?

Looking like it’s about time lmgtfy to make a comeback.

I blocked ESPN news articles just because I don’t want to see sports content. Does the same thing. They need to fix this stupid shit.

On the other hand, I’m willing to pay for aggregated news to gain access to articles from the likes of The Atlantic, etc. Anyone have alternatives to Apple News+ in this regard?

That’s all valid.

Check out Vivaldi. Yes it’s still Chromium. Consider reading the link.

No, it’s fine. We don’t do lesser evilism here so it’s fine. /s

I think that may have been up to voters. And we fucked it.

What if I flip both at once?

Because you’ve come to the conclusion that “retirement in the US is a scam” evidently based on a few years of data in just your portfolio. Retirement savings is built over decades.

I’d be curious about your specific positions contributing to this graph.

JFC. Just buy a target date fund. This post makes it clear that you don’t really know what your’re doing so please do yourself a favor and just pick a target date fund like this (or equivalent if Vanguard funds aren’t available to you) and don’t mess with it until retirement.

If you want to take the time to learn more about what you should probably be doing, here are some resources:

• JL Colins Stock Series
• Bogleheads investment principles

Edit: Extras, as I come across them. Candidly, most will probably come from Rob Berger’s newsletter.

Good point.

Since the first time I heard about FSD I’ve been wondering why Tesla (or others) doesn’t set up a system where drivers opt-in (no opt-in by default) to sending anonymized driving data to help train the model. The vast majority of the time, it’s probably modeling OK driving. At least no accidents. But the shitty driving and accidents are also useful as data about what to avoid.

Maybe they’re already doing this? But then I wonder why their FSD is getting shittier rather than improving. One would think with more driving data, good and bad examples, would only help.

I personally don’t tinker much with the OS. I want it to stay out of the way and let me do things. In the case of Bazzite, everything I need for gaming is just there and works without me lifting a finger.

I like the safety and simplicity immutables bring.

If I’m doing something out of the ordinary, a temporary container usually suffices.

It’s really made the switch from Windows as a daily driver much easier.

Been following this company’s development for over a decade now. I really want them to succeed but I have major doubts.

Everything you suggest seems self evident because you supply the evidence yourself.

It should be obvious to anyone who knows the first thing about how cell phones work.

Remember, you replied to me. You seemed quite proud of your comment and all your links. Unfortunately you completely missed the point.

Plenty of good answers here already. Just want to add a funny anecdote.

I’ve had the same USB charging brick for years, using it for different phones throughout that time. When I check the battery settings when it’s plugged in it “warns” me that I could be charging at a higher rate if I plug into a higher amperage charger. Yeah… I know. I WANT to charge slowly. It’s gonna be plugged in all night, what do I care?

I’ve had my phone for a year, 165 charging cycles, and it says it’s still at 100% health. I do cap charging to 80% and that hasn’t been an issue for my day-to-day usage.

Strange. You wanna be done so suddenly after being shown how obvious the solution is.

we can talk about how batteries aren’t removable in most phones anymore

So don’t buy those. Buy one with a removable battery….

whether or not the act of suddenly buying prepaid phones isn’t itself incriminating

Go use cash, in person.

Again, use your imagination. I refuse to believe I’m smarter than you or anyone else. These seem like obvious solutions.

My incredulity that the person further up the thread couldn’t think of a simple solution to the issue they posed came across as rude. I’m not sorry about it. Think for a minute….

I think everyone in the thread ultimately wants women to be able to get abortions without fear of prosecution.
