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 lived in Tucson for a while. Very good food scene.

Weather is actually pretty nice this time of year.

Nothing really special to be aware of. Stay away from cholla cactus. Lol

What are you using for tagging?

I need tags badly. I used them heavily on Reddit with the Reddit Enhancement Suite.

They helped me call out “great replacement” types more than once.

This is a good way to end up with a feed of only people who agree with you. Sounds nice, right?

If I’d done this in my early years on the internet, I might still be a right-wing Christian. Years of not having any good arguments against the atheists I encountered on the internet made a difference.

Same with my political leanings.

Confronting ideas you don’t agree with is a part of life and silencing opposing opinions puts you in danger of getting stuck in ideas that might not make sense.

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.

I just farted

lol

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.
