You don’t actually have to be that rich to do this…. Check it:

Get yourself a robinhood account, enable margin withdrawl. Invest ALL your money into a few stable ETFs that just track the market (or go crazy and invest it all in TSLA or something, I’m not your daddy). Now you can just loan yourself money while your investment assets increase in value over time… OR if they decrease, you can write off $3000 worth of “capital losses” every year (possibly more, if you run a “business” or something) .

There are a lot of these kind of “tricks” that previously only the wealthy could do before retail investing was so common.

Edit: Reason i say robinhood specifically, not that they are a great corp or anything, its just they happen to have the cheapest rates on their margin loans, it list 5% APY wich is less then pretty much any other kind of loan you could get. If you know of other services that offer good rates please let me know because I hate RH and would rather use almost anyone else.

How many times do these shitty fucking credit bureaus have to get hacked and exposed as less then useless before people lose faith in them?

New, from me:

The recent mass-theft of authentication tokens from Salesloft, whose AI chatbot is used by a broad swath of corporate America to convert customer interaction into Salesforce leads, has left many companies racing to invalidate the stolen credentials before hackers can exploit them. Now Google warns the breach goes far beyond access to Salesforce data, noting the hackers responsible also stole valid authentication tokens for hundreds of online services that customers can integrate with Salesloft, including Slack, Google Workspace, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, and OpenAI.

Incidentally, there has been some truly awful reporting perpetrated around the periphery of this story that needs to be called out as irresponsible bullshit. Newsweek uncritically reported today the names of Google employees who were being threatened by the threat actors who claim (with little convincing evidence) to be responsible.

And Trend Micro's blog put out what I can only assume is AI-produced slop drivel because it basically claimed that a few hundred Google Workforce accounts that were exposed in this Salesloft breach suddenly meant billions of Gmail users were at risk. That Trend atrocity was then of course re-perpetrated to produce even more uncritical garbage "reporting" about this incident. I'm not linking to either, just needed to get that off my chest. It's truly remarkable when Google has to put out a statement talking everyone down off the ledge over this. Pro tip: if you don't track these groups for a living and you don't live and breathe this Com crap, you're probably not going to be able to just parachute in here and write a cool tech story that is also accurate.

Why an image of just an old headline?

The defendant was convicted of aggravated sexual abuse of a child and sentenced to three years in prison, along with a fine and deportation order after serving his sentence.

in 2023, Finland updated its laws to define rape based on lack of consent, removing the violence requirement.

Just found a couple of user accounts created on my Pleroma instance that very clearly are aimed to be used for some kind of marketing.

Rather than just ban them for this and remove the accounts, I’ve set them up to be sort of shadow banned so i can monitor what they try to get up to in the future.

“Marketresearchfuture .com” seems to be what they are trying to promote at the moment.

Whats so interesting about this “democrat influencer” dark money, compared to the similar russian backed support of right wing influencers: The democrat money paid WAY less money, and had actual restrictions on what the people accepting funds could and could not say.

So the fascists basically just find people who already are working their agenda and just give them money. While the Corporatists will find people whos views aren’t too left wing and will then give them a contract to make sure they continue to not be too left wing or mention anything too “socalist” (and don’t even think about mentioning Palestine). And not even allowed to disclose any of it.

My profile banner is now an animated gif because TIL you can do that.

@xbyte1024 @stux Just the UI is not open source, which is a very small amount of the entire code base. While i do think its a valid point to raise against it, I also think they have a pretty valid explanation for why it is so: https://vivaldi.com/blog/technology/why-isnt-vivaldi-browser-open-source/

@Nimbius666 Interesting, I was able to romance both judy and river as mtf but kerry turned me down.

@GuyDudeman c’mon bro just a few more dollars bro, I’ll totally get you back by stopping fascism next time bro, please bro, c’mon why can’t you just help us out this one time, i swear its a big deal, really its gonna happen, any day now.

Is there some version of linux that just accepts PIP as a valid pacakge installer? Not that i want it to, but seems like every tutorial or suggesion i get uses “pip install this that theother” and on both Arch and Debian based systems installing systemwide from pip is a no-go.

Where does this assumption that people can just install from PIP system wide come from that its so prolific?

I will go full abbie hoffman if they try to prosecute me for this shit.
