Index funds are also still vulnerable to risks that affect the economy as a whole, like – just off the top of my head, for no reason in particular – total collapse caused by mismanagement by fascists.

On a totally unrelated note, my portfolio has always been mostly index funds and still is, but I’ve decreased the percentage of US stock market in favor of international stocks in recent years.

I’m seconding the request for a writeup.

“Google loading” isn’t derisive enough. The example I came up with isn’t quite right, but I do want it to have that same feeling of being a grave insult. Maybe something like “simploading?” Or “dipshitloading?” “Brownloading” (think like “brownnosing”)? IDK, I’m just spitballing here.

Everything on my GrapheneOS is installed normally, by which I mean “however the fuck I want”.

Fuck allowing the act of exercising your rights as the owner to be demonized with bullshit loaded language!

“Sideloading” is anti-property-rights loaded language.

The correct term for installing something by means other than the Google-approved method is “installing normally.”

It is the act of capitulating to Google’s control, due to the incorrect belief that you need its permission to use your own property how you want, that needs a new term. So far all I’ve been able to come up with is “cuckloading,” though I’m not happy with how sexism-adjacent it is and am open to suggestions.

Let’s not overlook yet another insidious part of it:

Home Bargains eventually issued him an apology and a £100 voucher as a “gesture of goodwill without admission”, on the condition that the details of the incident remain confidential. Clayton declined: “I just thought: ‘Really, you’re trying to buy my silence?’”

I second the recommendation for TP-Link running OpenWRT (that’s the important part).

I’ve been using a few Archer C7s for going on a decade at this point. (So long that they went from “OpenWRT” to “LEDE” to back to “OpenWRT”, LOL!) They’ve been working fine that whole time, and the only thing that annoys me about them is that they’re a funny shape instead of being rack-mountable.

If you’re not hand-crafting your Makefile, you have only yourself to blame. ^\s

It’s only used for law enforcement purposes.

As if even that is in any way okay, especially considering how fascist the government is becoming!

Even if this was working 100% as the public intended, it would still be evil.

Toph went around shoeless because she was blind and sensed vibrations to “see,” not because she was an earthbender.

As if they were looking for an excuse to ignore them before?!

A comedy, sure, but nevertheless it’s one of the best ones too.

Yeah, but it’s still way better than plastic.

Meanwhile, Corelle enjoyers:

It’s a better Star Trek movie than most Star Trek movies.

But downside of a M series is either you run macOS or Asahi Linux and nothing else yet.

I’m OOTL; what is it about Apple Silicon Macs that apparently make them such trouble to support? If one distro can manage it, what’s stopping that code from being upstreamed to the mainline kernel etc.?

Because antitrust law is a joke these days.

He said “sub $300” \s

MICROS~1

LOL

Also, “oh shit a leopard!”
