also true of almost any kind of conventional financial advisor / stock-picker / columnist. Like Fox "News", they are entertainment designed to separate people from their money.
yeah I get really strange ads on youtube from middle age badly dressed unhealthy looking ppl in front of a small yacht or house advertising how they got rich and they can teach it and it is so sad.
This reminds me of a story someone posted on how much money they make from a DIY car wash she bought. Seller-financed and only takes her a few hours a week to keep it running and her huge profits. But no mention of setting side money for future repair costs. She might be doing OK but what are profits after the inevitable repair/replacement costs.
And not everyone can find someone selling a profitable business and willing to finance the sale that provides passive income.
"here's my definitely-not-a-rental 4-storey mega mansion, and here's my collection of 10 totally-not-rented supercars, and here's my mega-yacht that I actually just borrowed from a friend solely to film me looking like a billionaire and throwing fake cash off the boa-..."
Indeed. Billionaires don't support certain politicians because it will make MORE billionaires. They support them to get laws that will get them MORE $$ and results in LESS entering the club.
They could also benefit from people making uninformed mistakes with trading, so it is best to learn the ins & outs and benefits vs. risks from informative, neutral sources before embarking on such an adventure!
but of course. When everyone is digging for gold, the best way to get rich is to sell shovels and pickaxes. When everyone is wanting to get rich doing nothing, the best way to get rich is selling them courses on how to get rich doing nothing...
One of the most exciting aspects of the new Bus Pirate is how easy it is to create add-on modules -- which the community have started calling "planks" to go along with the Pirate theme.
The Bus Pirate multi-tool has held a place of honor in many a hardware hacker’s toolbox for years, and the latest generation of the gadget powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2040/RP2350 offers sig…
@vagrantc Nice! But, what's the frame for? Couldn't there just be the rear part that you lash to the lumber, and the hitch that you lash to the other end of the lumber?

Perché casa mia è piena di oggetti mucca? Perché sono così pazzo? Perché tutte queste domande? (continua nel commento) Le risposte, amico mio, stanno soffiando in questa storia. #mucche #amiche #regalistrani #chiarlaura
My latest model! This is an IBM Series\1 with a 5251 terminal. This is a 1:12 scale model! Any of you worked with or on one if these back in the days? What was it used for where you worked?
Non ho molti dettagli, il cavo elettrico sembra risalire se non a questo secolo almeno alla fine del secolo scorso, quindi credo abbia discrete probabilità di funzionare ancora (e non prendere fuoco appena la si attacca alla corrente :) ).
Ci sono anche un po' di spazzole.
Le mie ambizioni piccoloborghesi non sono al livello da voler lucidare regolarmente i pavimenti :D
Se nessuno esprime interesse, al prossimo giro finisce in discarica.
Does Logitech understand how often I wear out the actual hardware of my mouse? Do they really think they want to be in charge of maintaining that forever?
@TerryHancock Maybe. Meanwhile, I have a $200 #DasKeyboard Professional 6 that I've already had to RMA once and I can't get firmware updates on even though it "supports #Linux".
I still find it utterly hilarious that kindergarten grade math, a function that computers are literally built on, is beyond the reach of "advanced AI".
@WhyNotZoidberg Hint: what's sold to the public as "Artificial Intelligence" is not what the public, conditioned by decades of SF, think of as artificial intelligence. It's just spicy autocomplete.
Oh I know. Doesn't help that Tech Bros (not to be confused with people who understand tech) fret about it becoming sentient and / or being the salvation to all our problems.
@gsuberland German has "Wink mit dem Zaunpfahl" (Waving the fence post) as idiom for "giving a broad hint for something that should have been pretty obvious". And a fence would literally be what is missing here.
Also, helmets, but I've given up hoping that anyone working with heavy head-level loads would care to wear one. Looking at the complete event tech / stage tech sector there.

I must not reply. Replying is the mind-killer. Replying is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face the bad take. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the take has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Michael Catanzaro from #GNOME published yesterday this interesting blog post about binding C libraries and a nice feature of #Vala; at the end there is the convenient solution (you can skip to it if you want ;) blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/202… #ValaLang #GNOME #GTK #GTK4
Useless robots (or useless machines) are devices that, when switched on, exist only to turn themselves back off. They are fun and fairly simple builds that are easy to personify, and really invite …
OpenSSH sshd on musl-based systems is not vulnerable to RCE via CVE-2024-6387 (regreSSHion).
This is because we do not use localtime in log timestamps and do not use dynamic allocation (because it could fail under memory pressure) for printf formatting.
While the sshd bug is UB (AS-unsafe syslog call from signal context), very deliberate decisions we made for other good reasons reduced the potential impact to deadlock taking a lock.
It's bad out there. It looks a lot like last time, but it's worse. Even worse. Ft. the inimitable @alyankovic The track and other goodies- https://www.patre...
“Q: Is GPT-5 faster? A: Its predecessors already produce hundreds or even thousands of words almost instantaneously. Now GPT-5 brings PhD writing skills to the table, meaning it can generate text at a rate of about ten words per day. (This does not include the romance novel it’s writing on the side, online searches for “ADHD self-diagnosis,” or social media posts about not wanting to write.)” mcsweeneys.net/articles/chatgp… #phd #gpt
Via @tedmielczarek @natevw I have learned that the Apple // character set is preserved in Unicode (Except not the Apple logo, which is trademarked— this is in the PUA as , but that is not Unicode. But everything else).
Which means!!! The cute little running guy in the hidden characters!! Is in!!!

So, if you are on Windows 10 or a modern Apple product, above you see two boxes
But, fricking inexplicably!!! On Linux!!! It actually displays!!!

I happen to encounter a patronising kind of such gurus. You know, the ones who berate the others for their hobbies.
"I earn CEO-grade salary every day while you waste your life painting figurines."
@tragicomedy THAT!
They think everyone will become rich at the same time
Stupid things like: "We're all gonna make it"
HOW 😆
"why would they be selling the secret to becoming a millionaire? Wouldn't they just use it themself?"
"They are, by selling the 'secret to becoming a millionaire', they're becoming a millionaire."
"....what?"
im reminded by the old, those who can—do, those who can’t—teach a seminar. 😅
After years in marketing I’m always looking for the angle, the paid placement, the ploy & grift. Because it’s everywhere. 😕

"OH SH*T" 🤬

If a person really did find some infinite money glitch, would they really tell you their money-making secret?
Something to think about next time you see a self-proclaimed millionaire that wants to "help" you.
"One simple trick to turn your life around and make money!!!"
Blocked and reported, every time. As cleverer people than I have said before, clickbait is what it is, but why would one ever go there?!
Wise words!
