FYI for anyone not in the know, this is the Good Good Good Newspaper advertised by Hank Green

It only consists of "good" news and is very uplifting - generally every print edition features some kind of theme like "animals" or "medicine" or "art"

If you can afford to support, I think it's a great way to encourage more uplifting news in our world

My advice would be to treat investing in unique assets - like shares in one company or Cryptos - as gambling: only put in what you're willing to lose. Anything you can't afford to lose should be saved or put into index funds with lower risk and volatility.

You just cannot know what an asset will do in 6 months. You can have a really good guess, but at the end of the day it's still a guess. And that guessing is even more difficult when it's a non-productive asset like Bitcoin, because then you're just gambling on vibes. There isn't much logic to Bitcoin's price besides "what if" and FOMO.

So yes, if you can afford to lose the money, you can leave it in. But if that money going to zero overnight would impact your quality of life or ability to absorb unexpected expenditures, then liquidate.

And on a more personal note, you're probably better off having the drone you want than flipping a (digital) coin and hoping it's heads

White.

I think because when I was young I associated it with angels and purity and I wanted to be a good person.

Now I just think it looks crisp and clean and it's always been "my" color in games

Everyone has about the same answers here, and I agree with many, but I've got a weird one:

Super Size Me

Something about it just compels me. And it always makes me want McDonald's afterwards... I truly struggle to explain why.

Love this channel, I've watched his videos for a couple years now. His scientific method can leave a lot to be desired at times, but it's still great information and I always keep them in mind.

This is one of the more iconic ones, in my mind, but he's still going strong today

That's a sensitive topic

I have a four, but most are from instances I've moved away from.

Started on Beehaw but when they started defederating from everyone I made a programming.dev account.

Also created a personal instance, but it was too heavy for my NAS to be worth it.

Finally, an Mbin account recently because the communism stuff from the main developers seems to be pretty contentious right now and I want to explore alternatives while I'm still happy with Lemmy. If some "event" happens and I find the need to move somewhere else its good to have an alternative in the pocket

I see a lot of posts that are spam that get a shipload of down votes. Usually advertising some pills or something

Fortunately, they are removed pretty quickly

Edit: Hey look one showed up

Apparently unpopular but I use Mozilla VPN

Most people recommended Mint so far. What sorts of things do you like about Fedora?
