    That thing which makes Meta and Apple so scared they do not release their new products in AI anymore in the EU to pressure us to loosen up the laws. That has already been costly to these companies.

    That prevents Paypal from doing this change in the EU.

    The law that has been awesome so far.

  • What is the stock market?
  • pimeys pimeys 2w ago 100%

    The winning strategy for us who do not want to gamble but save some extra for our retirement is to stop looking at the daily values, and invest the same amount monthly to a low cost ETF, such as VUAA.

    Now, the S&P 500 has been coming up about seven percent yearly if you look into it for a longer period of time. Repeating the monthly investment until you retire is a good way to get enough to retire comfortably.

    Yeah, the perks of the Android ecosystem. There's also a version for Android TV such as NVIDIA Shield. Again just works and filters out ads and sponsor segments.

    I've been using this one for years, which filters out ads and sponsor segments:

    Only for Android though. If you use iOS, switch to Android and you'll also get a really Firefox browser with ublock origin that blocks all the ads compared to that 30something% what every iOS browser does.

    128 GB here which runs out if I compile the complete project at work with -j32. And this sucks because 128 GB right now means the RAM cannot run super fast, meaning it is a bottleneck to any modern Ryzen...

    If it is a Samsung tv, they have been automatically connecting to any open wifi, maybe your neighbor has one. And there goes the data.

    Avoid Samsung.

    We've been using Linear in my latest company and it is actually quite good. No bullshit fast UI, boards, issues linking with Git, a support that can take a feature request that is often implemented in a week or two after asking it.

    I was joking here a bit, but:

    • A big crowd of people has suddenly a lot of weed.
    • People in Berlin like to go to bars and like to smoke weed (a fact)
    • Suddenly there's a lot more weed, many people more are smoking it either in the bar (allowed in a few places at least in Neukolln) or outside the bar (about every other place outside Neukolln)
    • Fun.

    So it was my take on laughing a bit about the winter 2024...

    Yeah. I don't mean that. But how is it going to look like in bars when everybody suddenly has hundreds or so grams of weed...

    I'm in Berlin and half of my neighbors have these 3m tall weed plants on their balconies. 3-4 usually, and nobody really cares. I wonder how the winter is going to be when everybody suddenly has half a kilo of weed...

    In my experience, nix works exceptionally well with Rust. Python and JavaScript are nastier, especially if the libraries use C extensions.
