Hey YouTube, today we’re testing this photon detector I found browsing ebay that was sold by some friendly russians. It’s been collecting dust for 10 years but due to some recent developments it’s as relevant as ever! Now I’ll be able to see the feds coming from miles away!

Any word on the screen? Would be sad if it wasn’t OLED but it wouldn’t surprise me if they wanted to cut cost for the base model.

I hate how often Discord is mentioned as a viable alternative, how that is even remotely close to a link-aggregator fora is beyond me.

Lemmy has a 3 character minimum though

Who wants a short instance name D:

I’ll do some reading, any recommendations would be appreciated!

Religion to me has always seemed as a way to create order in a seemingly orderless world, rationality set aside. I like philosophy for this reason, although it can be very pretentious.

Religion, mythology and probably anything mystical. It’s very easy why people believe in them, they’re so alluring and genuinely wish they had truth to them. Unfortunately the only truth to be found is ancient wisdom, and even that can be very iffy sometimes.

I guess the equivalent would be creating a new account on reddit.com

I think that’s called stockholm syndrome

I’m kidding, because I felt the same when I was new here. Account age and karma are treated like valuable currency over there, glad that’s not a thing on lemmy, and for good reason.

Yeah I get it, my age old account is now abandoned because Reddit decided to fuck up. Guess what instance I hopped to to view Reddit? None, because Reddit is not decentralized.

Sure, and nothing prevents you from signing up to multiple of them.

For sure, I’ve always said that for the most part it doesn’t really matter. Make an account on anyone of them and if you don’t align with that instance in the long run you can just hop to a different one.

We have those in Belgium too! I always thought it was just MSG and bouillon combined.

Ofcourse, and stocks might fall over the short term, but thoroughly vetted companies have a much higher probability of bouncing back. Diversification and thorough vetting at the time of buying is what experts recommend, not panic selling.

Thanks for explaining how profits work lmao

Saying you make your profit when you buy the stock means you have a clear plan on when you’ll be selling the stock. A dip in your stocks is an opportunity to buy, not to sell.

Profit is made when you buy a stock, not when you sell. You only buy stock from a company you have researched and genuinely believe has long term potential. Things like this shouldn’t be altering your perception of the stock.

I’m paraphrasing but that was a major point in “common stocks and uncommon profits” by Philip Fisher.

I get your point, but having Signal in a “Get Federated” list is very misleading at best.
