  • Dow sinks more than 700 points. Stocks are on track for their worst quarter since 2023

    Jump

  • I agree, especially since interest rates are currently relatively high, it's quite OK to remain liquid these days.

  • If you can't even understand that I am obviously not including things like stock splits, then I don't think my comment was intended for you.

  • Timing the exact top and bottom is impossible, but you can always sell at an all-time high and buy at a 52 week low.

    Personally, I find it more effective for myself if I frame it in terms of "owning the most shares" instead of "making the most dollars".

    If I started with 100 shares and now have 200 shares, I consider that a win, even if the 200 shares together are worth less than the 100 shares were at one time.

  • How to get rid of Mastercard and Visa?

    Jump

  • Wero will become the replacement over time.

    But for now, you're stuck with Visa and Mastercard if your country doesn't have a local alternative.

    Just get the cheapest option.

  • 'Admit you're Hamas or we'll send a drone to kill your family'

    Jump

  • The point is to kill and torture these people. Calling them terrorists is a tried and true tactic.

    They will call him Hamas whether he confesses or not and then say they killed another Hamas terrorist.

  • Historically, incompetent authoritarians tend to resort to violence to retain power. (recent example: Maduro in Venezuela).

  • South Africa president says persecution of whites a 'false narrative' as Musk repeats genocide claim

    Jump

  • Read up on Orania. The South-African government doesn't harass those Afrikaners trying to have their own little closed community.

    And honestly, I think that approach is the best. If right wing people want to self-segregate in gate communities without harming anyone, then I think that's the least bad option.

    Stunning Signal leak reveals depths of Trump administration’s loathing of Europe

    Jump

  • They hate a strong Europe and Canada the most, because a liberal world order is the biggest threat to their Big Tech Gilead goal.

    Once they start imprisoning and killing prominent American intellectuals, the remainder will seek asylum in Canada and Europe.

    Russia and China are their buddies, the hate for China and sanctions on Russia are performative.

    But the hate for Canada and Europe is real.

  • Boycott U.S. GOP/Heritage Foundation Donors to stop fascist coup in U.S.

  • Perhaps, but he does have a point.

    Boycotts, protests, press articles and just public opinion in general used to be powerful tools to influence companies and politicians.

    But they have lost their effectiveness, because companies and politicians have figured out ways to make themselves immune to boycotts and protests.

    They have engineered society to make us all dependent and confused.

    It used to be, every product in the supermarket had a smallish company behind it, and that company was very sensitive to public opinion. There was always competition ready to steal market share.

    Now all the brands are just labels for a few giant corporations. You simply can't boycott them. If one brand becomes the target of a boycott, a different brand from the same or another multinational will get the money, perhaps through a store brand.

    How exactly are people lighting Teslas on fire?

    Jump

  • I once read an article many years about how arsonists were burning expensive cars in Berlin. The journalist indeed reported that they would light barbecue starters under the tires.

    If I recall correctly, they would even place it a little bit further under the car (i.e. not the outside) so that any passerbys wouldn't notice anything until the tire was properly burning.

    This was before Tesla's though, which have a sentry mode

    With the more recent cases, I have read that they smash the windows and throw Molotov cocktails inside, but I think that would draw a lot of attention and make alarms go off.

    On the other hand, I think this method might have less risk of the sentry mode filming.

  • Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

    Jump

  • Agreed, this article would have made sense in 2020 or earlier.

    And now we have the fediverse, which is causing a resurgence of content that is independent of Reddit or Discord.

  • At some point, a wireless mesh of towers will also be connected to the internet by fiber.

    I don't know if your are autistic, AI or just an asshole.

    But the context is rural broadband internet, someone said you have to build out a fiber network, I said you can just roll-out 5G and use MiFi, which is in fact the most common solution for rural broadband internet worldwide.

    I never meant to imply that you can run broadband without a single fiber cable.

  • What happened to networks like eMule, WinMX, DC++, and so on?

    Jump

  • Most people use seedboxes for private trackers, which are superior and just as private as a VPN.

    But yeah, it's a different ecosystem and it's not for everyone.

    I do think it has replaced the old DC++ hubs of old.

  • With modern wireless technology, fiber isn't even necessary. 5G is cheap and easy.
