No, it’s fine. We don’t do lesser evilism here so it’s fine. /s

I think that may have been up to voters. And we fucked it.

What’s their landmass in comparison to the US?

How do you plan to recalibrate your BS meter after seeing how you were wrong here?

Because you've come to the conclusion that "retirement in the US is a scam" evidently based on a few years of data in just your portfolio. Retirement savings is built over decades.

I'd be curious about your specific positions contributing to this graph.

JFC. Just buy a target date fund. This post makes it clear that you don't really know what your're doing so please do yourself a favor and just pick a target date fund like this (or equivalent if Vanguard funds aren't available to you) and don't mess with it until retirement.

If you want to take the time to learn more about what you should probably be doing, here are some resources:

Edit: Extras, as I come across them. Candidly, most will probably come from Rob Berger's newsletter.

Since the first time I heard about FSD I’ve been wondering why Tesla (or others) doesn’t set up a system where drivers opt-in (no opt-in by default) to sending anonymized driving data to help train the model. The vast majority of the time, it’s probably modeling OK driving. At least no accidents. But the shitty driving and accidents are also useful as data about what to avoid.

Maybe they’re already doing this? But then I wonder why their FSD is getting shittier rather than improving. One would think with more driving data, good and bad examples, would only help.

I personally don’t tinker much with the OS. I want it to stay out of the way and let me do things. In the case of Bazzite, everything I need for gaming is just there and works without me lifting a finger.

I like the safety and simplicity immutables bring.

If I’m doing something out of the ordinary, a temporary container usually suffices.

It’s really made the switch from Windows as a daily driver much easier.

Been following this company’s development for over a decade now. I really want them to succeed but I have major doubts.

 

I recently switched from Windows 10 to ZorrinOS (after a quick detour to NixOS... OOF) and in the course of setting things up how I like, I ran across some interesting stuff relating to flatpaks and shortcuts. I wanted to get this written to provide a resource for other people who might be switching.

This is a guide to making a shortcut to launch a particular Firefox profile, on a Ubuntu based distro, while running Firefox as a flatpak. This is just how I did it, put the files where you want.

  1. Make a directory to hold the launch script and a shortcut icon. My script:
#!/bin/sh
flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox -p youtube

Obviously, make it executable.

Because Firefox is running as a flatpak we can't just launch it using firefox. They're actually stored in /var/lib/flatpak/app and can be launched like this.

  1. Create a text file in the Desktop directory with a .desktop extension like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=YouTube
Comment= Launches Firefox Youtube profile
Exec=/home/user/Documents/firefox-youtube/firefox-youtube.sh
Icon=/home/user/Documents/firefox-youtube/youtube-app-icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application

https://www.baeldung.com/linux/desktop-entry-files

  1. Once saved, make it executable. Right click > "Allow Launching". Done.

Just for fun, this is the image I like for it.

The inevitable at last arrived. Last month, for the first time, passively managed funds controlled more assets than did their actively managed competitors.

I honestly thought this happened a while ago...
