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.

There’s a trending posts list which helps fill this want for me.

But… We warned the Genocide Joe crowd Trump would be worse? And actively tried to convince them not to to let it happen?

Like, we said the stove was hot a bunch of times and they just had to touch it. I’m gonna call those people stupid now.

To be clear, I don’t think this group of people was big enough to sway the election.

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?

Enjoy your perceived victory against bad old uncle Joe…

This sentiment is the most painful shit to read on here. Lots of “maybe they’ll learn” or “so sorry your party lost /s”. Do these people think Biden and Harris will suffer through the Trump presidency? They’re rich as fuck. It’s WE who will suffer, probably minorities getting the worst of it.

Good job guys, you really showed 'em…

That’s all valid.

If not, what would it take?

A change in the US election system to something like STAR, Approval, or RCV.

Without that, I can go ahead and predict the next US presidential election right now. It’ll be the Dem or Rep nominee. Quote me on it.

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.
