  • Properly investing takes a lot of time and your big lump of money is not protected if the bank goes under. But yes, that is the best strategy.

  • This. I keep following many kinks in the fediverse, but I'm just a quite normie gay cis man myself. It's important to understand how different people are, and be ok with that.

  • YSK that if Americans live outside of the US for more than 330 days a year, they don't have to pay taxes on $125,000 of their income that year

    Jump

  • Depends. For example in Finland the filing is done for you every year by the tax authorities and tax is deducted every month from your salary. Once a year you get either money back or need to pay more if your work situation changes during the year. You can also correct them by saying "hey I paid this bus card" etc. and get money back.

    In Germany it works about the same, except they charge you quite a lot more every month. Here you do not have to file, but if you do you usually get a lot of money back. Filing is more complex than in Finland, so you might want to have a tax advisor to do it for you.

  • On a scale of 1 to 5, how offensive is the middle finger?

    Jump

  • In Germany you'll get a fine and lose points from your license if you show a middle finger. Even if you're riding a bike out walking (if you have a license)...

  • You still need to file every year. An advisor at least here in Germany can do both countries, but you pay a premium for that.

  • Linux Sys Admins, do you work on Linux or Windows office laptops?

    Jump

  • Not a sysadmin, but a programmer. My work machines have been:

    • 2003-2008 Windows 7
    • 2008-2011 Ubuntu
    • 2011-2019 Arch
    • 2019-2024 NixOS

    Probably going to keep using NixOS. This is a very cool OS.

    Dear Americans, how do you go back to normal after such an election campaign?

    Jump

  • Yeah. Although what if half of the country is intolerant? What then? Divide the country into two?

  • systemd is all you need

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm also one of these people silently enjoying systemd and wayland. Every now and then there's fuzz on one of these. I shrug, and move on still enjoying both of them.

  • Been watching a movie per day for quite a long time now. There are many great ones. Just watch all the genres from all over the world and from different decades, you'll find them.

  • A big monitor with 100% AdobeRGB is going to be very very expensive. And if you want it to be 65", you just can't find them...

    And it is a monitor, meant to be watched from a close distance. It will not be such a great experience for movies and such.
