yes

heh, somebody gets my references ^^

It’s a Schrodinger moment for humans.

who you truly are, you can only find out, if you look inside!

only when you do rapid trading. not if you hold for long times.

uhh, i doubt that. at least as long as the company has a sane core business, it’s stable long-term (or rather goes up with the general economy). it can’t “go down more than it goes up” on average.

thank you :-)

i feel like this message is finally getting through. many people say “work is good” because they think it “purifies character” or sth, which is a very christian/boomer thing to say.

where your pension fund is being traded and i bet you would care slightly more about that.

no not really. as long as i don’t sell, it doesn’t affect me if it goes up and down all the time.

no. like, the term “working class” can be interpreted in two ways: (1) people who are inherently workers, (2) people who are forced to work to survive.

which one is being replaced?

insider trading can only make money if somebody bets against it. i think as long as nobody bets against it, it should be fine (as it doesn’t actually generate any profits).

well, i can concur. my eyes have trouble adjusting to looking into the distance when i have spent hours in front of the screen. they adapt after a few minutes to hours though.

i mean you can already put a link to your blog in your user profile on lemmy. in fact many people do it. (i don’t do it myself because i don’t have a good website to link to)

yeah, exactly. for example, in the sidebar (community description) of lemmy communities.

or in your personal profile description

yeah making content is a lot of work. i can’t blame them.

we need

• links from fediverse instances to other fediverse instances
• maybe tools like https://fediversemap.com/ to find fediverse instances that are physically close to you, to connect to people irl and organize irl events
• prefer to post content on already existing instances so you get better exposure

i’m too young for that :D

password protection means you’ll have 0 visitors. it’s better to do proof-of-work instead. which means, the visitor’s computer solves some cryptographic puzzle to prove that it has spent energy and therefore money to visit the website. that makes scraping millions or billions of websites practically too expensive to do, while if you only visit a single website, it’s still reasonably cheap to do.

there’s at least 3 layers of finding stuff:

• you already know the full URL
• you only know the exact article title
• you don’t know the article, but are interested in things of a specific topic

i think search engines are … tricky

i always prefer lists and indexes over search engines because search engines feels a bit like voodoo magic to me, it has unpredictable outcomes. for example, sometimes you need just the right keyword for search engines to give you meaningful results, and otherwise it will just not return anything. and that is a lot like chatgpt … you ask it something and it might give you a meaningful response. or it might completely miss the point. when there’s an actual list of communities that is small and complete, then i can go through it manually to check where it might be.

everything is an echo chamber

can you name a single thing that’s not an echo chamber of some sorts?

the side bars for each community can effectively be a webring. i’m talking about these things here:

(example is the sidebar of the /c/selfhosted@lemmy.word community)
