  • If you are planning your life around putting money into assets tied to the imperial core e.g. housing and retirement how do you feel abt the entire financial system being a giant bubble

    Jump

  • Covid wasn't a "bubble".

    Or if it was, it was all the over investment in entertainment and productivity tools. In which case, that popped around 2023 when everything got cancelled and RTO layoffs started.

  • What youtuber do you think had the biggest downfall?

    Jump

  • Probably not the "biggest", but remember Gus Johnson? Looked like a promising up-and-comer in the Internet comedy space, and then he got cancelled and effectively disappeared over night.

  • What was hacking like in the '80s and '90s?

  • Watch the movie Hackers, it's basically a documentary. Roller blades, hacker dive bars, extreme fashion, custom boot screens, swirly 3D effects around you when you're typing fast. It was rad...

  • 'It's going to be really bad': Fears over AI bubble bursting grow in Silicon Valley

  • The mag 7 is 1/3 of the S&P500, but that doesn't mean the loss will be limited to 1/3. A those other companies are also dependent on AI and the success of those 7.

    Jump

  • The Mag7 are the 7 giant tech companies currently propped up by the AI bubble. These companies represent upwards of 34% of the marketcap of the S&P500. The other 493 companies are also intimately tied to the success of AI and/or the Mag7. Not just everyone's retirement accounts, but a huge amount of the world is invested in the US S&P500 thinking they're diversified across 500 successful companies.

    So to be clear, yes, we're absolutely poised for a worldwide economic recession. I wouldn't be surprised if smaller nations who rely on USD are completely bankrupted, but one thing is for certain: when AI pops, the fallout will not be limited to the US.

  • What movie did you love that had a stupid plot but the execution was excellent?

    Jump

  • Spontaneous

    For some unknown reason, teenagers in a small town keep randomly exploding in a mess of blood and guts. The rest of the plot is a coming of age black comedy around that premise. I thought it was quite good.

  • They use OpenVPN for some reason. Wireguard is superior in every way. In case you set up a VPN.

  • I proposed a hypothetical plan while high, would it work in court?

    Jump

  • But! If they outlaw man-boobs in public, we're still one step closer to equality!

  • Is it so hard to get Nvidia GPUs working with Linux?

    Jump

  • I was going to say you'll probably be fine, but if you're considering Mint you'll definitely be fine.

    Terminology you don't need to know: Mint is still using x11, which Nvidia works fine with. I assume mint won't switch to Wayland until it works smoothly on Nvidia too.

    My partner is using mint on a 3080. I think she had one graphical bug in one game one time after an update. Mint has a program specifically used to roll back to a past Nvidia driver. She chose the driver from before the update, rebooted, and the bug was gone. Just gotta remember to switch back to using latest later when a new driver comes out.

  • how did you make the switch from reddit to lemmy.. i'm trying to myself but struggling to ngl

    Jump

  • What part are you struggling with? Not enough content? I get it, but also that's a feature. If you dislike centralized platforms more than you want to rot your brain, it takes zero effort.

  • Lol I definitely read the same thing twice. Assumed they were just repeating for emphasis. You're right, my bad.

  • EoP, not PoE. Two different things.

  • Why?

    Jump

  • Windows is constantly doing things I didn't ask it to. I wanted something that didn't do anything I didn't ask it to.

  • Has your teacher even lied/misinterpreted something big about you?

    Jump

  • And now you're trying to deny it to us too! Come on OP!

    But seriously, that's so fucked on so many levels (going through your phone is fucked by itself). I'll not assume your gender, but I'll assume the people around you inventing Russell were heteronormative, and that this is yet another unique way in which women can be harassed that is hard for men to even wrap their head around. I'm sorry you had to deal with this, that is truly unacceptable behavior on their part.

  • What technology would you give to ancient people just to fuck with them?

  • A large obsidian slab standing perfectly vertically.

  • Does anyone pays attention on this sectore on app store, before downloading an app?

    Jump

  • I don't know the state of it these days, but there was a shim layer for android called Magisk that had a plugin that would allow you to spoof permissions to apps. So the app thinks it has access to your location and contacts, but what they actually have is a random GPS coord and an empty list.

    I want this to be how permissions control works, but apple and google have no incentive to give it to us.

  • He wouldn't be a billionaire if he were a good person.

    But....to his credit, he did publicly say recently that he wants to have given away 99% of his wealth over the next 20y, and says he doesn't want to die rich. I am ok with making that the bar for being remembered. Provided it's not to his own foundation.
