Bitcoin went from under like 5k in 2020 to over 100k in 2024. The problem isn’t Bitcoin, it’s people thinking they can easily outperform Bitcoin by buying into shitcoins that are clearly Ponzi schemes and thinking they’ll know when to get out. Ask me how I know.

Meanwhile, a friend wasn’t tempted by the shitcoins, simply bought BTC and ETH and held, now he’s easily 4x’d his money by doing as close to nothing as possible and most importantly, not touching fucking shitcoins.

Bitcoin isn’t a gamble, a gamble is a gamble. Just like you can treat the SP500 as a retirement fund, or the source of your next options in a gamble.

I’ve heard of people having breakthroughs/ego deaths while meditating, so it can definitely get there by the looks of it

My dude, fry those tortillas a bit!

This is a ploy from big bidet to take over our toilets with pristine water pressure that can douche-clean your asshole and I won’t stand for it, god damnit!

I’m still waiting to know who added a whole ass island teleportation stirring system, but I guess the point of the ending is that there’s shit that not even the mythical beings that we meet know or understand, because they themselves were simply thrust into the island long after most of its mistycism started.

I think a good approach is to only use it as a light sweetener, I only pour about 5g-10g of creamer into my lattes. Coffee mate’s Hazelnut creamer is the only flavour I tolerate, the rest taste too synthetic.

I can give you my experience so far, seeing as the common criticisms of Linux usually boil down to unwillingness to try it as well as kernel level anticheat and Adobe products, and I…honestly don’t miss either of them, but I’m mostly a dev and a single player games enjoyer, so not much to miss, really.

The speakers on my Razer blade laptop (running EndeavourOS, btw) stopped working randomly, but I’m not convinced it wasn’t my fault since I did have to work on the laptop internals for unrelated reasons and might have screwed something up.

My webcam on my desktop, a Logitech Brio, has been acting up as of a couple of weeks on Bazzite, where the microphone keeps kinda dying and I have to unplug/re-plug the webcam to have a working mic. Also the audio quality on my Sony XM5s keeps changing to shitty quality, mostly when I do the re-plugging of the webcam, but it’s happened at random times before. Gotta go change the codec on the audio settings every now and then due to it.

Monitor brightness can sometimes behave weirdly, not going back to a brighter setting after auto-dimming.

Games with kernel anticheat don’t let me play online.

This has mostly been it, to be honest. There’s a microscopic learning curve for Bazzite since it’s immutable, so I have flatpaks for most stuff, and “figure it out” for anything else, but other than that, it’s just better than Windows ever was. If you run into an issue, you’re most likely going to be able to solve it with a quick online search or by consulting the eldritch hallucinations of OpenAI or of your choosing.

He fired people taking care of the nukes, not the people who would detonate them, which could be any idiot with a willingness to pull the trigger on command. Not that he’d use nukes on Mexico, a good ol’ freedom campaign with a couple thousand troops and drones should do the trick for everything south of the border. We’re cheerfully awaiting our invasion and demise! Greetings from Honduras, malditos gringos hijos de puta!

At least learn a little bit about the technology you’re criticizing, such as the difference between fission (aka not fusion) and fusion (aka…fusion), before going on a rant about it saying it’ll never work.

None of the reactors are being built with output capture in mind at the moment, because output capture is trivial compared to actually having an output, let alone an output that’s greater than the input and which can be sustained. As you’ve clearly learned in this thread, we’re already past having an output, are still testing out ways to have an output greater than an input, with at least one reactor doing so, and we need to tackle the sustained output part, which you’re seeing how it’s actively progressing in real time. Getting the energy is the same it’s always been: putting steam through a turbine.

Fission is what nuclear reactors do, it has been used in the entire world, it’s being phased out by tons of countries due to the people’s ignorance of the technology as well as fearmongering from parties with a vested interest in seeing nuclear fail, is still safer than any other energy generation method, and would realistically solve our short term issues alongside renewables while we figure out fusion…but as I said, stupid, ignorant people keep talking shit about it and getting it shit down…remind you of anyone?

Honduran here. My GF and I are getting a Saint Luigi portrait hung up on the wall. Dude’s seriously an icon.

I mean, newer server-grade models with independent actuators can easily saturate a SATA 3 connection. As far as speeds go, a raid-5 or raid-6 setup or equivalent should be pretty damn fast, especially if they start rolling out those independent actuators into the consumer market.

As far as latency goes? Yeah, you should stick to solid state…but this breathes new life into the HDD market for sure.

Honestly, I’d prolly die day 1, but as a Honduran, I’d probably consider volunteering to go to Panama and fight you guys if you do end up sending armed forces to take the Canal. Fuck you guys…I mean, not you specifically, or anyone here for that matter, but… you know what I mean…

Serious question. Why? No, for real, why? Why are these hard to understand editors still the default on most distros and flavors? Why haven’t they reinvented themselves with easier to understand shortcuts?

I get the feeling my comment will attract heat, but I’m a web dev, studied comp Sci for years, have worked for nearly a decade and have spent over half my 30 year old life using computers of all sorts. I’m by no means a genius and I by no means know enough about this or most tech subjects, but I literally only knew how to close vim with and without saving changes in a recent vim encounter, purely due to a meme I saw in this community a few days prior, and I had already forgotten the commands by the time I saw this post. Nothing about vim and alternatives feels intuitive or easy to use, and you may say it’s a matter of sitting down and learning, which you can argue that, but you can’t argue this isn’t a bit of a gatekeeper for people trying to dip their toes into anything that could eventually rely on opening vim to do something.

I won’t try to deny its place in computer history, or its use for many, or even that it is preferred by some, but when every other software with keyboard shortcuts agrees on certain easy to remember standards, I don’t quite understand how software that goes against all of that hasn’t been replaced or hasn’t reinvented itself in newer versions.

Then again, I have no idea what the difference between vi, vim, emacs, and nano are, so roast away!

As someone who lives in a banana republic that now has banana republic stores in its malls, this is a perplexing and sort of insulting end result, and I don’t understand how the name of the store ever took off
