What does it do?

Seriously? That’s what the article is about. You just have to click the link and skim it.

Wrestlemania is cool, but nothing beat that 1998 King of the Ring when the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hеll in a Cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer’s table.

Eh, that’s the kinda thing you don’t know what you’re missing. Contentment and Hope are a powerful life force.

Indeed! Good for you ignoring the doomers!

Kids are an absolute blessing. Like a bunch of best friend mini-me’s to enjoy life with.

They will respond to you when they’re done putting fries in the bag.

Yes.

To each their own I suppose. I truly can’t imagine being without this productivity booster. I had the same opinion as you a year ago, but things have radically changed the last 6 months.

Tools giving incorrect answers isn’t some new thing that AI delivered.

AI makes stuff up and random dude on Stackoverflow posts incorrect answers. I see no difference here.

This programmer used it the same way I do. As a tool. It’s a great tool; I find it hard to go back to being without it.

The world is full of people who don’t see things the same as you. Instead of posting to get reassurance that you are right and others are wrong, get used to existing alongside people you don’t like or agree with.

Find a new business model

They did, running everything on their machines and charging us monthly to use it.

If true, this extends out of the bathroom. Poop doesn’t magically disappear at that barrier

Yeah I know gitea has a mature api and I suspect it’s GitHub compatible. So any mid level dev should smash it out. Especially now with a little help from a magic pattern machine.

From a source code perspective, moving is as easy as pushing it to another platform. Everything uses git under the hood.

However, all the project mgmt stuff like issues and PRs and releases aren’t as easy

I self host gitea and have a script that mirrors any GitHub repo that I star. Super useful.

I fork from my own mirror in gitea if I want to tinker. Keeps me from having a GitHub presence at all unless I’m contributing upstream.

Fiat money is devalued by the issuer to benefit them. And there’s no web of trust. You trust the issuer or you don’t.

Precisely actually. Except with nakamoto consensus on top to order the commits.

my picks

I have retirement money strictly in retirement funds. Other money in index funds and non-US currency baskets, and I play with call options when I know more than the market.

My suggestion was more a thought exercise for the reader, yet genuine advice at the same time. We love to complain about capitalism, but we are often complaining about it in its current form, a post 1971 era filled with ever increasing corruption, which is the greater problem.

felt deliberately misleading

It wasn’t intended as such, I still think it’s a valid point.

Why would you advocate to be fucked like that lmao?!

We are being fucked either way. We take it up the ass from big tech constantly - so why not buy stock in knee pads and condoms if we have no option but to take it? It’s all just a waiting game for the music to stop anyhow.

current administration / crime family

It’s all been crooks for 50 years. They get more and more brazen over time. At this point it’s the entirety of DC in on it. The current admin is certainly more brazen than the prior - but I don’t think he’s any more crooked than the rest. He’s just dumber than the rest.

Your simplistic take just functions as bait to have others financially raped and abused yet further

I think you’re simplifying in the other direction. I’m not wrong that investing in good growth companies rewards you. I’m not wrong that identifying good companies can often be as simple as “what company’s products do you use”.

You’re taking the issue of corruption in the markets and making that the basis for refusing to invest in markets

What problem does it solve where? It’s an immutable data ledger. It solves trustless interactions.

Raising capital, trading, etc. it moves financial markets from proprietary pay to play arenas (wall st), to an open model.

If you hate money and markets, you’ll hate it too. But it does solve worldwide instantaneous value transfer.

Perhaps in volatile industries, invest in a mutual fund that covers that particular industry. In this case, digital streaming.
