@lain Aha! Schrödingers cat!
@phnt @p @lain This is not so interesting. I am not a fan of the matrix project. If I needed a chat, I'd go with irc which you can run on a raspberry pi at home.
If you need to cater to young people, maybe mattermost might give them that sweet web 3.0 feeling?
Generally though, anything that primarily relies on a web interface is not so good.
@lain It is good! Because it might lead to people choosing self-hosted open source alernatives instead of centralized corporate solutions with built in surveillance.
@amerika @lain @Vox I think it might be too late for ammo stocks, but those are famous last workds on the other hand (hello nVIDIA!).
For me, the basic strategy is to look at the stock market trend the past 30 years (it's up) and then buy a diversified set of boring stocks that pay a good dividend. Then I try to selectively reinvest the dividend, and should one of the companies not perform well, I sell and replace.
Add to that some smaller experiments with growth stocks, which are not successful 8 out of 10 times. The benefit though, is that on the 2/10 times the profit more than offsets the 8/10 investments. It is frustrating, but it does payoff in the end, which is why I keep experimenting with growth stocks where I invest about 1%-3% of my portfolio from time to time.
@Vox @amerika @lain For you and me, this is the truth!
But I was thinking more about the general public.
Like you, I bought recently. One of my online casino holdings unexpectedly dropped 20%, and it does that every 4-5 years or so, so I refilled.
Dividend was at 7.25% at the dip which is very nice! =)
With that dividend, they basically only need to maintain their marketposition, and it will be a nice investment over time.
@amerika @lain This is a wonderful interpretation, and one I think Trump himself will use, _if_ he won't make any progress with acquiring Greenland.
On the other hand, it can be argued that he could just have asked and avoided negative stock market effects making life worse for 100s of millions of people. It's kind of using a nuke to ask the guy next to you to stop farting.
Regardless... Trump is always great entertainment, and watching the inept and spineless EU leadership is also quite fun from a certain detached point of view.
@lain This is incorrect. Actually greenlanders dogs and cats eat danish people!
@ChrisMayLA6 This could possibly be the beginning of the end of Keynsianism! 🍾
@lain This is the way!
@lain This is very common! I'm very proud of the fact that I was blocked by Charles Stross on mastodon, the sci fi author and socialist.
But, since I do not judge an artist based on his opinion (like wokeists do) I still enjoy some of his science fiction! =)
@lain Obviously. He had credits left in the game.
