Add that China theme to the mix.
You’re welcome.
- Comment on What is the stock market? 2 months ago:
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.

And LLM is mostly for investors, not for users. Investors see you “do AI” even if you just repackage GPT or llama, and your Series A is 20% bigger.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
Upper middle class gays somewhere in Gilbert Arizona who just want to see their retirement savings to go zoink. You have your walled swimming pool and Trader Joe’s nearby.

It is one of the most addictive games I’ve played. The good thing is that it is cheap and doesn’t have any microtransactions. And a lot of fun.
- Comment on ‘If you want to have a good party, ask your friends not to take photos’: Carissa Véliz, expert in ethics applied to technology, advocates for a system of digital anonymity 5 months ago:
It is very different outside Berlin too. But one of the reasons is how most of the clubs here are very queer friendly, and it is easier for people from different backgrounds to go there if they know their presence there is not leaked to their families from some photos.
I also noticed that underground parties in countries like Finland started to follow this trend. In these cases it is more to filter out cameras on dance floors which obviously makes the parties more fun when people are just not using their phones all the time.

This is what I really like about clubs in Berlin. When you get in, they put stickers to your phone’s cameras. If you take them out and try to take photos, or they see you removed the stickers when you get out, you need to delete all the photos you took in the club and you’re never again welcome to their premises. Makes also dancing there super fun because people really dance, not focus on taking a video of the DJ.
- Comment on All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why? 7 months ago:
It is actually quite nice. You sudo something in the terminal and can just swipe your finger to the reader without needing to type your password.

Did they get all the MM1 levels somewhere? There are some true classics that would be really sad to lose…
- Comment on Super Mario Maker 1 is now beaten! 8 months ago:
It was great to watch all these runs on twitch. Now if Nintendo would just release an open source version of the server and all the content people have created…
- Comment on Beeper couldn’t bring iMessage to Android — but it can still make a great chat app 8 months ago:
You can also very easily run the bridges yourself if you don’t trust them. I do so in my homelab, it was 10 minutes of work setting it all up. Super stable, and e2e from my side.
For me their value proposition is their new beta android app which is the best Android matrix client, and their quite fast matrix server. That might change in the future when conduit is fast enough…
- Comment on There is Only One Level Left to be Beaten in Super Mario Maker 1 9 months ago:
thab’s been trying to beat “The Last Dance” for a few days already, it’s really fascinating to watch. And even barb finished one level, then said “fuck this garbage” and spent the next days finishing Paper Mario and complaining how boring it is…
It’s been a few good weeks on Twitch…

I’ve been in an interview and the hiring manager wanted to have a call in Teams. Didn’t take that job.

It comes with the Office subscription. People who choose it are not the ones using it daily.
- Comment on HBO Max is removing features from my plan without reducing my price. 1 year ago:
I use Plex for music because it is very good there, but Jellyfin for movies/tv which I like more for that kind of content.
- Comment on HBO Max is removing features from my plan without reducing my price. 1 year ago:
A great UI to stream your movie files from your TV. A bit like Plex, but open source.
- Comment on The Yngwie Malmsteen Interview : Rick Beato 1 year ago:
All Beato interviews are pure gold. He lets the people talk and be relaxed. And gets the best out of usually hard to interview people, such as Yngwie or Billy Corgan.

I really wish they’d do more. And somebody does more of The Owl House…
- Comment on 'King Of The Hill' Dale Voice Actor Johnny Hardwick Dead At 64 1 year ago:
Well, Brittany Murphy is also dead and I don’t really think King of the Hill is the same without Luanne either.
- Comment on TIL Mike Judge created Boomhauer's voice based on a disgruntled viewer's voice mail that he couldn't understand. The voice mail was left during the Beavis and Butthead days. Here is a link to that ... 1 year ago:
This puts me to binge watch the whole series again. Probably my fifth rewatch… Such a great series.
- Comment on I'm aware of kbin, mastodon, and lemmy. Are there any other federated applications out there? 1 year ago:
Implements ActivityPub and you can do Twitter-like messaging and you can define the makimum length of the text. The client API is the same as with Mastodon, so you can use any Mastodon app with it, or even run the Mastodon web frontend.
It is written in Elixir instead of Ruby, so it is much faster than Mastodon. Supports quoting and emoji reactions like Misskey does.

Akkoma is also very stable and much faster than Mastodon.

If you haven’t already, read the article Tiktok’s enshittification from Cory Doctorow. This is enshittification in action what YouTube is doing.
- Comment on ‘The Bear’ Feasts in Streaming Rankings 1 year ago:
When the kitchen starts to work in the last episode of Season 2, it’s such a magical moment. When Sydney manages the orders with a calm voice, followed by Richie, it’s just wow. And some chaos happens, people yell, the camera moves to the dining hall and everything suddenly changes to something calm and relaxing. Some very long shots too with the camera, which you only notice when you rewatch the episodes.
