Yeah I think mint sits in a sweet spot there for people who want that window 7 experience.

I think you will eventually get tired of all the workarounds needed for immutable systems. Its a nice idea but full of pain when actually wanting to use the computer to do actual work.

But its ok! Everyone tries different things in the Linux world and we all just enjoy the ride.

Its not a bubble but most people here dont think for themselves. They dont even seem to understand the connection between what news is put out, which analysts they choose to give attention, and for what purpose.

Imagine living your life and just believing whatever someone says in the news just because he has the title of analyst. And never thinking about who profits from that specific guy being on the news at that specific time. Who picked that guy to say what he does and why? Its not random.

Being able to influence the market is key to making a lot of money. How do people think they influence the market? This is how they do it. How else?

Sometimes they probably lose money too, specially when orange man opens his mouth and says something very stupid, like last Friday. But then they position themselves for the coming uptrend and make their money back, maybe even more then they had before, since they have giant pockets.

People here are very groupthink.

When Tesla was at like 250 in the stock market just six months ago, I said that the stock will recover very soon. But the groupthink here was totally agreeing with eachother that Tesla is gone forever, and people kept posting Elon doing nazi gestures and saying they are done.

Now, the stock is over 400. But no posts is made about that and how maybe the groupthink was completely wrong. Instead the next thing is ongoing.

We have evidence around us all the time how the group is completely wrong in their assumptions. Majority opinion is not right by default.

I work in IT also and everyone I know use it constantly at work, daily. It has flaws and sometimes hallucinates, yeah. But humanity has never had something like this where they can ask questions and get replies that are often completely correct, just not always.

I dont think its a bubble, but thats the point of having a discussion about it. I think downvoting people because they like Ai is borderline retarded.

If you have read threads about this on hacker news, you will see both sides of this. People who like Ai and people who doesnt. But you have arguments instead of downvoting because people are actually smart enough to value the discussion.

Trump is a much bigger threat to tanking the US economy. He is working in that direction every day. Tariffs are horrible for the economy. Sure, he gets American factories built and jobs are created but things overall are going to be much more expensive for consumers.

 

Get your shorts ready, this will be very interesting to follow. Seems like the stock will appear tomorrow already?

I fully expect a nosedive in stock price but who knows. Maybe a pump and dump.

 

I didn't know reddit gave out the personal details of their users, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

 

User content, created for free by users, moderated for free by moderators, and now sold for 60 million dollars to Google.

 

This is the first thing I actually believe has a chance to hurt Google. Chat Gpt really succeeded, and it's Microsofts billions behind it. All at the same time as Google has lost its culture of innovation and has become a creepy sleezy company.

 

This is the real reason for companies wanting people back to the office.

All this talk about collaboration and team spirit is just the publicly given reason for wanting people back to the office.

The real reason is that now the owners of the buildings are losing money.

Cry me a river.

 

Another CEO for mozilla. Good or bad news?

 

I'm enjoying this. Also Musk went out and said that he wants barriers on trade or else the Chinese companies will dominate the market.

I thought Musk would be happy, because he truly wants to save the planet doesn't he? It shouldn't matter if he or someone else makes the best electric cars then?

 

This is so strange to me. I guess people enjoy being ripped off and getting less and less value for their money.

 

Quite a controversial decision.... I love Kagi though, but I don't understand why they would want to drag Brave into this.

 

This could be promising!
